UBL 2.4
Review of UBL 2.4 submission to ISO closed on 14 September 2024. The TC has received no comments and is awaiting feedback from OASIS.
UBL 2.5
The TC has approved a UBL Deprecation Policy version 1.0 available here:
- https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=71497&wg_abbrev=ubl (PDF)
- https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=71496&wg_abbrev=ubl (ODT)
Publishing tools
Master spreadsheets for UBL 2.5 are available here:
- Library elements: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18o1YqjHWUw0-s8mb3ja4i99obOUhs-4zpgso6RZrGaY/
- Document elements: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1024Th-Uj8cqliNEJc-3pDOR7DxAAW7gCG4e-pbtarsg/
Shall we generate and publish XSDs without deprecated elements as part of UBL 2.5 to assist validating if UBL implementations are using solely non-deprecated elements? Does this belong in a Committee Note? Kees has opened a ticket: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-385.
Semantic library review
Documents are being reviewed by their corresponding subcommittees as listed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f0yyWMLK9wAWEjEKgsoXT7eov9h5bx6qxROBZP_qu7M/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Supplementary components were reviewed during the Budapest face-to-face meeting. The result of the review can be inspected here: https://wv2agsty.nocodb.com/#/nc/kanban/bd3026b2-8250-46b5-ae42-c3272e5060b2
Work is being tracked here: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-383

Specification review
Divide specification into multiple parts. Aim is to create a multipart specification.
The specification references several UBL work products, including NDRs and customization guidelines. Should we incorporate these into the multipart compendium? Kenneth is working on a proposal.
JSON syntax binding
At the Budapest face-to-face meeting, we agreed that deprecating the UBL data type attributes will simplify JSON implementations for developers. This change makes complex JSON data types simple enough to be implementable, for example:
{
"ID": {
"value": "1234567890123",
"schemeID": "GLN"
}
}
Erlend is currently working on a first draft for a JSON specification.

Agreed at the Copenhagen face-to-face meeting that the UBL TC is open to establish a formal liaison with CEN TC 434 to create a European or international standard for electronic invoicing, if there is an interest from the CEN TC.
OASIS has reported that there is an agreement on a way forward. The TC has agreed to appoint Wim Kok liaison officer to the CEN TC 434, and Peter Borresen as liaison officer to the CEN TC 440, as recorded here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202301/msg00017.html. The appointments have been communicated to OASIS.
