  • 1.  Sample code lists for UBL 2.5

    Posted 04-27-2025 16:06
    Fellow UBL committee members,

    I have downloaded the latest UN/CEFACT code list schemas and
    discovered that the schema documentation has been separated from the
    schema enumerations in XSD.

    For example, this is an excerpt from the distributed XSD file for the
    Allowance Charge Reason Code:

    CrossIndustryInvoice_100pD23B_urn_un_unece_uncefact_codelist_standard_UNECE_AllowanceChargeReasonCode_D23A.xsd


    <xsd:schema></xsd:schema>
    xmlns:clm64465AllowanceChargeReasonCode="urn:un:unece:uncefact:codelist:standard:UNECE:AllowanceChargeReasonCode:D23A"
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    targetNamespace="urn:un:unece:uncefact:codelist:standard:UNECE:AllowanceChargeReasonCode:D23A"
    elementFormDefault="qualified"
    version="4.4">
    <xsd:simpletype name="AllowanceChargeReasonCodeContentType">
    <xsd:restriction base="xsd:token">
    <xsd:enumeration value="1"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="2"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="3"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="4"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="5"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="6"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="7"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="8"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="9"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="10"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="11"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="12"></xsd:enumeration>
    ...
    <xsd:enumeration value="98"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="99"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="100"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="101"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="102"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="103"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="104"></xsd:enumeration>
    <xsd:enumeration value="ZZZ"></xsd:enumeration>
    </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:simpletype>



    In the past I was able to distill from the XSD the complete columnar
    information needed for the sample genericode files. This included the
    associated semantics for each of the coded values.

    While the updated schemas are sufficient for programmatic purposes,
    no longer are they useful for the distillation of all of the
    information we have used in the past.

    Since the code lists found in the UBL distribution are illustrative
    only, I propose we (I!) abandon trying to update the UBL 2.4 code
    lists to the most recent versions from UN/ECE, and just reuse the UBL
    2.4 code lists in UBL 2.5.

    If agreed, I will review the documentation of code lists and revise
    it accordingly.

    Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

    . . . . . . Ken

    I note that the new OASIS mail system has failed to escape my XSD
    angle brackets. If I look under "Show original" in my Gmail, I can
    see the code.

    Here is an attempt to escape the angle brackets for mailers to reveal
    the message content:

    I dug up the corresponding file we used for UBL 2.3, and it reads as
    follows, complete with the information needed for the genericode
    columns ... you can see that the most recent files I found for UBL
