UBL 2.0 NDR EDITORIAL REVIEW

JB: Just now picking this up after focusing on Customization

Guidelines for the last couple of weeks.  I will be working

with the file dated 2008-08-26 and including the following

items:

TRACKING ITEMS

We need to add a section on code list metadata; see

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200803/msg00001.html

Note on order of BBIEs and ASBIEs

See minutes of Pacific call 1 July 2008.

Questions regarding these two items have been sent to the NDR

team and will also be put on the agenda for TC calls next week.

ACTION: JB to make changes to the .xml after the questions

outstanding have been addressed, then to BH for a respin, then

JB to check for formatting problems.

BH: Regarding the NIST schema checking facility: Zack at UCB is

now working on the UBL rules.

JB: There's some question how efforts other than UBL are

supposed to use certain UBL-specific NDRs.

BH: As well as rules that can't be tested programatically

(e.g., the rule that spelling has to conform to the OED).  Zack

will distinguish between testable and nontestable rules.

JB: We need a list of issues for this NDR cycle so that they

don't get away from us.

BH: We will take the Navy spreadsheets and pinpoint the problem

cases.

ACTION: Put on the Atlantic agenda for next week.

2009 TC MEETING SCHEDULE

This is on hold till after the upcoming UN/CEFACT Plenary.

April/May: East coast North America (probably in DC area or

possibly in Ottawa) has been suggested, but it's possible

that we will have an opportunity to meet with UN/CEFACT at

their 20-24 April 2009 Forum in Rome.

August: We are agreed on a preliminary plan to meet the week

before or the week after the Balisage conference in

Montréal; this would be 3-7 August or 10-14 August 2009,

depending on which is chosen for Balisage.  It's possible

that we will wish to hold a plenary in conjunction with the

UN/CEFACT Forum in Sapporo 28 September - 2 October, in

which case the Montréal meeting will be considered a working

session.

TC CONCALL SCHEDULE
