ATTENDANCE

Tim McGrath (vice chair)

STANDING ITEMS

Additions to the calendar:

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

None.

Subcommittee report: PSC

A meeting has been called for 17 September.

Subcommittee report: TSC

AS: Working constructively on Danish transportation

requirements.  TM has prepared and posted some material for

review showing how info items added to the shipment and

consignment object classes can move us from the current UBL

model of one shipment equals one consignment to a model that

supports one-to-many in both directions.

In answer to a question from AS, GKH demonstrated how google

spreadsheets can be used to support real-time distributed

editing of the data models.  The service is free and appears

to work extremely well.  It was agreed that this is a real

breakthrough in enabling collaborative review of proposed

data models during conference calls without the overhead of

webex sessions.

Review of Atlantic call

GKH: WRT the namespace proposal:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200709/msg00004.html

The biggest argument against both name- and namespace-based

filtering is changes in cardinality.

No other comments.

Support page submissions

No external submissions this week.

ACTION: GKH to submit a revised description of the Crane

resources, JB to update Support Page accordingly.

UBL TC MEETING IN STOCKHOLM 24-28 SEPTEMBER 2007

A placeholder for updates to the draft agenda:

2008 TC WORK SCHEDULE

(Was: ACTION (8/14): JB to make a timeline that fits the work into

the OASIS TC process.)

A discussion concluded that we have so much new material for

UBL 2.1 that we might as well go ahead and roll the Update

Package into that release.

AGREED to set the Manhattan TC meeting (2008.01.28-02.01) as

the target for the first draft of 2.1 spreadsheets and updates,

with the intention of reviewing the drafts at that meeting and

coming out of it ready to begin initial schema production using

Ubler.

ACTION: JB to deliver project timeline (including the former

pieces of the Update Package) by COB 21 September.

UPDATE PACKAGE

All items relating to the Update Package are now part of 2.1.

UPDATE ITEM FROM MANHATTAN

Moved here from the Atlantic agenda.

ACTION: GKH to write up the "Candidate Decision Regarding Code

List Support" as amended 10 May 2007.

AGREED that this document appears to be irrelevant in the

current cycle given the decision to roll the update into 2.1.

However, it will need to be revisited for interim updates

following the release of 2.1.

CL TRANSFER (TRACKING)

ACTION: JB to add to the update work list the items relating to

the CLR TC decision to take over the CL Methodology work.

Revised: Include these items in the 2.1 project matrix.

2008 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

28 Jan - 1 Feb 2008 in Manhattan (Hotel Bedford recommended)

This date has now been confirmed.  Participants can (and

probably should) begin making travel plans.  Note that hotel

rates will be substantially higher closer to the meeting date.

March 2008 in Rome (together with UBL International Day)

Discussion still in progress among the organizers of the ID.

August 2008 in Montr�al

Two possibilities: the week of 4 August or the week of 11

August, depending on the scheduling of the Extreme Markup

Languages conference the week before.

January 2009 in Fremantle

Still tentative.

PACIFIC ACTION ITEMS FROM MANHATTAN (TRACKING)

ACTION: PSC and TSC to provide feedback on UBL 2.0 SBS 2.0:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23873

Pending.

ACTION: PSC and TSC to summarize business rules that are (1)

wanted in UBL but not allowed by [i.e., capable of being

addressed by] the NDR (e.g., requirement to include one of

PartyName and PartyIdentifier but not both) and (2) data items

whose constraints are inherited from another standard (e.g.,

lengths of data items specified by UNTDED); the rules so

identified to become candidates for a list of schematron

assertions "recommended to be included" (final characterization

TBD).

AGREED that this is now of higher priority than the

preceding item and should be done as part of 2.1 model

specification (using the column "analyst's notes").

TC CONCALL SCHEDULE

before and after the next f2f.  Therefore, our concall schedule
