Hello UBL TC,
I have posted the concrete proposal to UBL TC regarding this subject on May
21, 2005.
I have attached this proposal in this e-mail. Please review this proposal.

I think that the resolution regarding this proposal has the following 3
options.
Please examine this observational comments for UBL TC decision.

1. Option 1: Adopt my proposal completely.
(1) Merit
This architecture is desirable one.
The UBL library will grow up in the near future. For example: Add new
document types like pre-order documents and the three new post-invoice
documents.
The library will be categorized desirably. and UBL users will be easy to
refer the library.
(2) Demerit
This option has considerable influences to the current UBL library. For
example: Change the structures of XML Schema, change the structures of Small
Subset library, and others.
(3) My consideration
This option require some additional resources and working. If the related
UBL members will agree this working, this option will be possible.

2. Option 2: Remain the current Reusable as the current structure like UBL
Core BIEs, but create the new group Reusable BIEs for the additional
document types.
(2) Merit
There is no necessity to change the current Reusable structures.
The UBL users will be easy to understand and reuse the UBL library including
Reusable.
(3) Demerit
This option is not the best solution at the view point of classification of
the UBL library.
(4) My consideration
If almost UBL members will agree this option, this option will be realistic
solution.

3. Option 3: Remain the current Reusable as the current structure, and add
the additional reusable BIEs for the additional document types to the
current Reusable.
(1) Merit
There is no necessity to change the current Reusable structures.
(2) Demerit
As you know, the current UBL Reusable library has 60 ABIEs. The contents has
431 contents (BBIE and ASBIE). This Reusable is huge to handle not only for
UBL Users but also UBL TC members already.
If the additional Reusable contents for the additional document types would
be added to this Reusable library, it would become much troublesome to
handle.
(3) My consideration
This option  is bad selection.

Best Regards,
Yukinori Saito
