SCHEDULE REVIEW
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200909/msg00017.html
Schema creation process
AGREED as follows:
- We appoint TM, AS, and Peter Borresen as the Modeling
Integration Team for UBL 2.1 PRD1. TM will be in charge
of the editorial component. The team will be responsible
for reporting any issues needing resolution to the TC.
- The TC will resolve any issues raised by the MI Team, and
the Team will make the final changes to the spreadsheets.
- The PSC (specifically, Fulya) will then input the
spreadsheets to eDoCreator and generate the schemas. At
the same time, GKH and Oriol will generate a parallel set
of schemas using UBLer plus postprocessing; the two sets
of schemas will be compared for Q/C.
- The spreadsheets will also determine what the code lists
must contain; GKH will construct the CVA file, and TonyC
will create the genericode files.
Documentation
TM has this in process.
Scheduling per se
PSC (TM): Expect PRD1 TSC spreadsheets following next week's
PSC meeting.
TSC (AS/TM): Have been meeting weekly and think we're close
to closure on Freightwise requirements. The FW data models
are mature and include three new document types (working
names: Transport Execution Plan, Transport Execution Status,
and Transport Operation Status). TSC now returns to the
issues list for EFM and TBG3 requirements. We are probably
2-3 weeks away from TSC spreadsheet delivery to the MI Team.
AGREED that we will wait a week or two to revise the
schedule spreadsheet.
REPORT: CEN/BII WORKSHOP
TM: The BII Workshop closes next week with publication of the
Workshop Agreement (not a CEN Standard but rather an agreement
among the Workshop participants). This includes dozens of
document exchange profiles (information requirements for public
procurement).
REPORT: PEPPOL MEETING
TM/GKH/KB: Meeting attendance exceeded expectations: about 200
attendees on Business Day, 100 on Architecture day, 20 in Java
class. Probably more than half the attendees were from the
private sector. Focus till now has been on the messaging
transport infrastructure; attention turns now to engaging with
business applications. The EC has set a deadline of 1 May for
the exchange of test messages between real suppliers and real
government agencies. Mikkel Brun will be leaving NITA after
the PEPPOL meeting in February.
REPORT: MoU/MG MEETING
TM: The UBL report (including genericode) was well received, as
usual. The OAG report made it clear that OAG and SAP interest
in the UN/CEFACT work extends only to the methodology and not
to content (TBGs and harmonization); in fact, OAG is prevented
from participation in the content work due to IP
considerations. Consequently, the CC library will not include
submissions from OAG and SAP. Jamie Clarke of OASIS reported
that revision of Danish invoice legislation has been blocked by
France on the grounds that UBL is not an "international
standard," raising the issue of what is meant by "international
standard" and why OASIS Standards are excluded from this
designation. The MoU/MG committed to taking a position on
this. Was unable to attend the second day of the meeting to
discuss semantic interoperability.
UBL 2.0 NAMING AND DESIGN RULES
NDR PRD2 is hanging because we're not using the latest OASIS
document templates.
ACTION (10/20): GKH to provide updated DocBook stylesheets
by 3 November.
GKH: The stylesheets are done, working now on
documentation.
UBL 2.1 NAMING AND DESIGN RULES
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200909/msg00030.html
ACTION (9/30): MG and MC to start work on an initial draft of
the NDR 2.1 documentation; MG to send possible meeting times to
MC.
JB: This didn't happen, and Mavis is now offline for a few
months. Fortunately, we already have an approved checklist,
so this won't affect production of UBL 2.1.
AGREED that resumption of this work in about three months
will fit well with both NDR editor availability and initial
feedback from UBL 2.1 PRD1 implementers.
CCTS 2.01 DMR
ACTION (6/30): TM to circulate a draft CCTS 2.01 DMR to the
TC for review.
Pending.
UBL 2.0 NDR IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE WIKI
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/ubl/NDR_2.0_Implementation_Guide
JB: Work continues in the background; will probably resume in
earnest when work on 2.1 NDR documentation resumes.
2010 UBL TC MEETING SCHEDULE
February 2010 meeting in Copenhagen
AGREED for logistical reasons to move the February 2010
meeting one week earlier, to 2-5 February (Tuesday through
Friday). The Copenhagen venue is tentative; it may end up
in Malmö (in Sweden, but the way there is through
Copenhagen). TM to chair (as previously agreed).
TM: Anyone planning to come to the UBL F2F is encouraged to
stay the weekend and attend the PEPPOL conference the
following week.
(Preliminary) 9-13 August 2010 (the week following Balisage
2010) in Montreal or Ithaca.
