UBL 2.4
The Call for Consent for approving UBL 2.4 as OASIS Standard has been announced and is open until June 20: https://groups.oasis-open.org/discussion/call-for-consent-for-universal-business-language-version-24-as-oasis-standard-1
Status can be followed here: https://groups.oasis-open.org/higherlogic/ws/groups/c345ca28-f0ec-4436-a509-018dc7d3f04a/ballots/ballot?id=3824
Kees is preparing a UBL 2.4 OASIS Standard with June 20 as approval date.
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

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?
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.
