Folks In view of today's news http://www.hr-xml.org/blog/?p=128 I wondered (as I expect many have) whether there is more UBL can do now (or ATG2) to align as fully with OAGIS as HR-XML to create just one big bundle. UBL might be distinctive by its being strongly document-like and perhaps easier to implement in certain scenarios but even a common library might be a possibility. Are there political issues? How would it affect UBL / CEFACT convergence? Would HR-XML/OAGIS be seeking as much convergence with CEFACT as UBL? Could this all lead in some way to a single library? Maybe a removal of duplication? Alignment on the UDT library was one thing but presenting a united/common front and maybe even a common library might be very nice to see and help interoperability while still providing choice in which 'documents' to use - the OAGIS-like ones or the UBL-like ones. All the best Stephen Green
