SCHEDULE REVIEW

See

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201002/msg00016.html

TSC

AS: Reached closure on outstanding issues.  A final few

fine-tuning operations will be completed this week and

confirmed in email.

ACTION: TM to consult with PLB to confirm that TSC

changes cause no problems.

PSC

TM: Similar to TSC; a couple of tweaks are in process, which

Arianna will complete tomorrow, so expect completion this

weekend.  Note that spreadsheets are not being used as the

inputs to eDoCreator now; all the remaining changes

(cardinality, spelling, etc.) are being done by working

directly with the tool.  Spreadsheets generated by the tool

will remain normative documentation for the data model.

Martin and Audun have discovered it to be easy to import

these spreadsheets into Enterprise Architect for UML

modeling.

CODE LIST IDENTIFICATION

AS: Discussed this in the TSC meeting and concluded that

there are a few code lists that may be unique to

implementations.  There is one (party role) that must be

discussed with PSC.  There will probably be one or two for

generic templates and another one or two from CEFACT or

industry; we are still trying to identify these.

TM: PSC is also finding that there will not be that many new

code lists.  There may be a few for the "special-purpose"

category.

JB: How about the lists in 2.0?

AS: Some have been revised, e.g., one of the transport

lists, and Units of Measure.

ACTION: TM to send TonyC a list of pointers to current

UNECE recommendations together with a list of the

genericode types referenced by UBL; TonyC to review and

identify changes.

DOCUMENTATION

JB: Concerned that we won't be able to put the documentation

together on time if the pieces all come in at the last

minute.

ACTION: TM to contact Martin and Audun to get diagrams

for delivery by next week's call.

ACTION: TM to work on getting prose drafts together and

perform first pass on edit.

MEMBER AVAILABILITY

TM will be unable to call in for the next three weeks, so will

send progress reports to JB in advance of each meeting instead.

MC will be unavailable in meetings for the next three weeks but

will contact MG offline to begin work on the NDR items.

AS begins Leave of Absence today; expects to be back mid-March.
