Hello UBL TC,

      I send some comments on the UBL extension topic.

        - add
      an extension point at the beginning of *every*
      ABIE, not just the
      

            document ABIEs
    
    
I always hated extension, but I had to use them a few times.

    
I do not think that the requirement of having an extension point
      on every ABIE is to create complex data structures, but simple
      information items.

    
I also think that these small extension points should reference a
      document-level UBLExtension that should act as the main extension
      definition (e.g. for accounting purposes)

    
I now start calling this context-driven extension a
      LocalExtension, but it is just an example.

    
I would leave extensions based on other non-UBL namespaces at
      document-level using the actual UBLExtension, so I skipped this
      aspect here.

    

    
I drafted this LocalExtension as a very generic and simple
      business information extension as follows:

    

    
LocalExtension [0..n]

    

    
      
ID [0..1]    An identifier for the Local Extension assigned by
        the creator of the extension.

      
DocumentExtensionID [1..1]    An identifier to reference the
        Document-level Extension driving this Local Extension.

      
ExtensionName [1..1]    A meaninful business term describing
        this Local Extension.

      
ExtensionTypeCode [0..1]    A code for the type of Local
        Extension.

      
Percent [0..1]        A percent value that may be required by
        this Extension.

      
Amount [0..1]        An amount value that may be required by
        this Extension.

      
Quantity [0..1]        A quantity value that may be required
        by this Extension.

      
Value [0..1]        A textual value that may be required by
        this Extension.

      
DocumentReference [0..1]    A document reference that may be
        required by this Extension.

    
    
I hope it is enougth clear, I wil appreciate your comments.

    
Cheers,

    
Roberto
