Review of Atlantic call minutes
No comments.  UBL 2.1 STATUS
Security (JB): Materials received; it will take some time to
process the documentation.
TSC (AS): We have received materials from Audun documenting the
two new intermodal freight management doctypes along with
updates to the doctypes in PRD1.  It's been proposed that the
name of one of the PRD1 documents, TransportOperationStatus, be
changed to TransportProgressStatus.
GKH: Schemas ready this week like PSC?
AS: Not likely.
JB: Despite what was recorded in the minutes, my impression is
that PSC was estimating that the models would be ready for
schema generation -- not necessarily that we would have schemas
by this week.
GKH: Note that I am in the critical path for schema processing
and that I will be on leave of absence starting 23 February
through the end of March.
JB: We hope that the PRD2 schemas can be generated in time for
GKH to process them before leaving.  MESSAGE ENVELOPE
GKH has volunteered to co-chair the task group, but he wants a
co-chair to handle business requirements.
ACTION: JB to seek a co-chair.  TAG STATEMENT OF USE
Consideration of a request from the OASIS TAG TC for UBL to
issue a statement of use for the Test Assertion Markup Language
and the Test Assertions Model for UBL calculation model test
assertions.
TM: This is a request from the Test Assertions Guidelines (TAG)

TC.  Recall that Stephen Green has prepared examples of a UBL
calculation model using the Test Assertions Markup Language
(TAML).  The TAG TC have just finalized their specifications;
they already have the required three implementation
verifications but are seeking further proofs of concept.  We
are being asked whether TAML is appropriate for business use.
Our position is that you can indeed use TAML for this, though
we are assuming that the work belongs to customizations.
AGREED (pending agreement in the Atlantic call) that the UBL
TC finds that TAML is a suitable language for implementers
of UBL to use in expressing business constraints.  TC CONCALL SCHEDULE
