SCHEDULE REVIEW

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200906/msg00026.html

TSC (AS): Held meeting last week and continued discussion of

Freightwise data models.  Expect to hold another work session

this week, including a discussion of requirements for new code

lists.

ACTION: AS to keep TonyC in the loop regarding code list

issues.

GKH: Spreadsheets?

ACTION: JB to ping TM.

AS: TSC will not have ss in time for Montréal.

GKH: We need summary of the new doc types.

ACTION: JB to review current 2.1 doc draft to see what we

have.  We know that not all doc types have been identified

yet.

AGREED that we need to add a row in the schedule below current

row 15 for "UBL 2.1 Implementation Guidelines."  We will need

resources to actually accomplish this.

ACTION (6/30): TM to circulate a draft CCTS 2.01 DMR to the

TC for review.

Pending.

UBL LATAMLSC FORMATION

JB: Have been in correspondence with Kenneth; he will be

sending a draft charter for further discussion.

UBL 2.1 DOCUMENTATION

JB: Will need help setting up the PDF production environment

(this is already scheduled for the F2F).

CONCEPT OF CODE LIST TEMPLATES FOR UBL 2.1

See

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200907/msg00021.html

AGREED that we will include the metadata-only gc files in a

separate "templates" directory in the 2.1 package along with an

explanation of their possible use.  These will not be pointed

to from the CVA because they are not participating in

validation.  This means that for every code list item, there

will either be sets of actual codes in the default directory or

metadata-only files in the templates directory.  (In essence,

we are agreeing to GKH's suggestions in the message referenced

above with the exception of his suggestion #2, deciding instead

to include these files rather than omit them.)  The

metadata-only files will use the same internal structure used

in 2.0, but will be separated into the templates folder rather

than mixed in with the others.  The location URI will reflect

their location in the distribution set.  The CEFACT codelists

will be moved into the default directory.

MONTRÉAL MEETING 17-21 AUGUST 2009

The meeting will be held in the downstairs lounge of the Hotel

Europa in Montréal during the week following the Balisage

markup conference (http://www.balisage.net/) in the same

location.  The opening plenary will take place at 09:15

Montréal time Monday 17 August 2009.  Call-in information is

the same as used for weekly UBL TC calls (see any TC agenda).

GKH will host a Yugma session on his machine; an ID will be

provided by email at the start of the call.

The Montréal meeting marks the completion of outstanding issues

and closure of the door to any data model changes till the next

public review cycle.
