Item Discussed

 

1. Code List Methodology

- Tim updated all that that in the new code list
methodology, the schema identifies where to find the value for the code list

- The genericode approach is being used in the new
code list methodology.

- Based on the wd9 version, the code list is found
in the \cl directory. The \gc subdirectory contains codelist for CEFACT, default
and special purpose. Code list based on the genericode has the .gc extension. This
is basically an XML instance

- Some of these code lists have been converted from xsd
to .gc. For example the CurrencyCodeContentType.gc, where the original content
is from CodeList_Currency_ISO_7_o4.xsd where enumeration is being used.

- The result is that application needs to employ a
two-pass approach to validate the XML instance

- Tim updated that a new TC will be created to further
promote this methodology

 

2. Sanity Check

- Tim updated that Jon is working to release the
final complete package 

- The meeting noted that Jon had sent it out to the
ubl list

- Andy noted that under Section 5 of the
documentation, the Transport Status message doesn’t seem to be mentioned

- Tim mentioned that it is covered under extension
of fulfillment but agreed that there need to be another section to cover this

- Andy also commented that implementers would most
likely that for a given document schema, be using a subset of the it, instead
of the complete schema, which can be quite overwhelming

- Tim updated that further editing of the
documentation can still be done. This would include an Idiot’s Guide to
the Code List methodology. He reiterated that the XSD schema is the most
important thing as far as the 2nd public review is concerned

 

3. UBL Extension Type

- Tim updated that the UBL Extension Type has made
it to the final package

- Kama commented
that the industry’s practical requirement will be for the Extension to be
in the ABIE instead of the document

- Tim responded that UBL TC had deliberated on this for
quite some time and decided to apply Extension at the document level

 

4. Sample Instance

- Andy noted that in the final package, most of the
sample instance was for the procurement and asked if any would be included from
the transport sector.

- Tim mentioned that he had previously worked out an
overall storyline, which will then determine the sample instance that would be
required

- Tim mentioned that there may be a need to have a
working group so that all parties would be synchronised, when they produce the
sample instance

 

5. UBL TC F2F Meeting in Montreal

- Andy asked if anyone from the TSC would be
attending the Montreal
meeting

- Tim would attend it over conference call

 

Action Item

1. Tim to send out to all, including PSC, the
overall storyline
