And what would be the purpose of including a URL? Sorry for my naïve question. ?On 2/7/18, 10:59 PM, "

So, understandably, in a DocumentStatus instance I want to return status information about a particular document. I have a status value, I have the UUID that I know is found inside the document, and I need to point to the document using a URI. I want to return those three things in a DocumentStatus instance. In which BBIE do I put that URI? In the ticket
https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-168 I posited that UBL 2.1 line 677 was incorrectly documented as "an identifier for the referenced document" and I based this on column U of the model where an example given for the ID is "PO-001":
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.1/mod/summary/reports/UBL-AllDocuments-2.1.html#Table_DocumentReference.Details That example value, and the other one "3333-44-123", both led me to believe that the ID is the value transcribed from the document being referenced. And so I argued for the "clarification" of the definition to be about the ID that is found. But now I'm lost regarding where I put a URI that points to my document. If I want to report on the status of a document found at, say,
http://myCompany.com/docStore/invoices/invoice-1234.xml ... where do I put that URI in the document reference? If the example is wrong and I am supposed to use the ID as the *pointer* to the referenced document, then the original definition is correct. And if the original definition is correct, then the UUID is not necessarily the UUID of the referenced document, it could very well be (somehow?) a UUID of this ABIE that is the document reference. That seems really weird to me, so perhaps it is supposed to be the UUID from the referenced document and is documented wrong. I'm back to being confused. And I still cannot make sense of the definition for row 684 XPath: "A reference to another place in the same XML document instance in which DocumentReference appears." ... because the document reference is appearing right there in the same document with the XPath BBIE ... not the document being referenced. Anyway ... Jon was very right to question what I was doing with "clarifying" the definitions. I'm now thinking I was way off on a tangent, yet nobody could see that I had arrived in such an errant state. Mea culpa. So I'm proposing we postpone ticket 168 until we consider changes for 2.3 and we consider how to define these constructs so that users are not as confused as I am. Meanwhile, can someone please guide me where in a DocumentStatus document I am supposed to put the URI to the document I'm reporting the status of? Thank you for any help you can be. . . . . . .
