STANDING ITEMS

Additions to the calendar:

http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm

AS: Will get dates for TBG3 meeting in July.

Liaison reports

TM: The CEN/ISSS workshop on public eprocurement appears to

have gone well.  UBL will form the basis for the

specifications to be developed by the project.

Subcommittee report: PSC

TM: The PSC has been focused on the convergence with TBG1.

Mark Leitch and Martin Forsberg have joined TBG1 to advance

this work.  The next TBG1 interim meeting will take place

5-8 June in Brussels.  TBG1 is now responsible for the

procurment parts of UNeDocs.

Subcommittee report: TSC

AS: Met last week.  The major topic was a debrief on the

transportation breakout session at the TC meeting in

Manhattan.  That session was very positive, and it was

agreed that the Danish representatives would join the 7 June

TSC meeting if approved by the Danish standards organization

with which they are associated.

Review of Atlantic call

No comments.

Support page submissions

None this week.

FIRST ITALIAN AND SPANISH SPREADSHEET REVIEW

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/24052/ubl20prd10es.zip

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/24053/ubl20prd10it.zip

AGREED to start the public review process.

GKH: We can capture all this in a genericode file.

JB: And I would be happy to call this the Dictionary per se.

DISPOSITION OF CODE LIST METHODOLOGY WORK

Should we transfer the code list methodology to the OASIS Code

List Representation TC?

GKH: The UBL label misleads some users into thinking that the

methodology is slanted toward UBL.

TM: It should be something like "Schematron-based code list

methodology."

GKH: We would continue to use UBL as the exemplar.  In

practice, the transition would simply mean changing the title

and the introductory section of the paper.  The namespaces

would have to change, but that's not a problem if we make the

transition before issuing the first of the code list snapshotes

we discussed at the meeting in Manhattan.

JB: This was the reasoning behind the transfer of genericode to

a separate TC.

TM: Viz., that it can be used with more than UBL.  We should

have a guideline that we encourage the adoption of the CL

methodology.

JB: Are both TCs operating under the same IPR mode?

GKH: Yes.

AGREED to transfer the CL methodology to the Code List

Representation TC (pending review in this week's Atlantic

call).

UBL TC MEETING IN EUROPE 24-28 SEPTEMBER 2007

TM: Nothing new; will check again on colocation with the

UN/CEFACT Forum meeting if no answer to a previous inquiry is

received this week.

guidelines.
