Hi Folks, Thanks Ken, Betty, Juerg, DW, and Tony for your excellent
inputs! Here's what I learned about who is using Genericode: OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) uses Genericode
and you can find all the Genericode files here (click on any of the folders to
see lots of Genericode files): http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.0-update/cl/gc/
The National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) uses
Genericode and you can find a description of how they are using it here: http://www.balisage.net/Proceedings/vol3/html/Harvey01/BalisageVol3-Harvey01.html
The New Zealand Education Sector is using Genericode. (Juerg
can you provide a URL to where people can get more information?) There is a community developer list for users of
Genericode at: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/clr-dev/
http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/
I looked through some of the list posts. Here are a few posts
from people using Genericode: Paul Spencer writes: I have implemented over 50 bi-lingual
(English / Arabic) code lists for a government using
genericode. Linda van den Brink writes: The Cadastre in the Netherlands is
using Genericode Jan Dvorak writes: We just finished basic support for
Genericode in the DataSink project ( http://sf.net/projects/datasink/ ).
Given a JDBC ResultSet, DataSink saves it as a
Genericode code list. It can take several such ResultSets and put
them as Genericode XML files in a zip archive. In an email to me, Tony Coates reports that FpML and by
UN/CEFACT uses Genericode. (Tony can you provide URLs to where people can get
more information?) The current specification of OASIS Genericode 1.0 is at: http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/
