Liaison reports

Item: ISO TC 204 WG1 liaison

AS: WG1 has published a tech report on data harmonization of

ITS concepts that introduces the UN/CEFACT CC methodology.

WG1 is about to update it based on work in the UK by the

highways agency.  This could lead to approaches to

interoperability among data sets that are not completely

aligned.  We should see whether any TC members are

interested in helping WG1 formulate approaches to

harmonization or suggesting ways in which we can apply these

concepts.

ACTION: AS to circulate Cornwall paper to the TC and

invite UBL members to participate in the team currently

doing UBL/UN CC mapping.

TM: The UN/CEFACT Plenary originally scheduled for June 2009

has been moved back to November.  Our collaboration plan is

undergoing another round of review in CEFACT; we are

actively pursuing this and await feedback.

Subcommittee report: TSC

AS: We continue to meet on a regular basis.  The EU

Freightwise project has decided to implement their software

interface based on the UBL library and will be participating

in TSC calls.  This week's meeting will be shifted to the

morning to allow participation from Europe.  The TSC

continues to focus on mapping transportation CCs for

submission to TBG17.

TM: Procurement CC alignment is being picked up by PSC

through BII WG2.

Issues list updates

JB: FIRTG is working to complete a set of financial

requirements.

TM: To avoid duplication and confusion, we will wait until

the FIRTG input is complete before adding the requirements

to the issues list.

Review of Atlantic call minutes

GKH: Re NDR: The PDF has grown quite large.

JB: In order to provide high quality illustrations, we're

using a high DPI.  If necessary, the file size can be

reduced in Acrobat before we publish.

ACTION: JB to copy GKH on DocBook formatting discussions

with BH later in the week.

UBL 2.1 SCHEMA GENERATION

From 12/16:

"AGREED that schema output and tool issues will need to be

therefore, a task group should be sufficient.

JB: Wait until work ready to begin?

codelist-free UDT.

AGREED to go ahead with creation of the team.
