MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING 00:30 - 02:30 UTC TUESDAY 29 AUGUST 2006 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) G. Ken Holman Tim McGrath (vice chair) Andy Schoka Kumar Sivaraman STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm TM: Add TM to UBL conference in Denmark; add PB and possibly ML to UN/CEFACT Forum in New Delhi. ACTION: TM and AS to confirm dates for the meeting in Singapore in this week's TSC meeting. (It is understood that TM will chair the meeting.) Liaison report: UN/CEFACT TM: See this report: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200608/msg00089.html The TBG1/UBL working group will meet again at the end of September to continue convergance upon a "third solution" -- a best-of-breed combination of UBL and TBG1 work. We need to talk about the resolutions adopted in the meeting, how to resolve differences in approach, the scope of the effort, design rules, etc., as well as the very aggressive schedule adopted by the group and the need for reporting to the TC and getting feedback from the TC. It's the desire of the group to put a proposal before the Forum in October. The TC needs to review the project plan. JB: Too much to do this week getting PRD3 ready. Will put this on the agenda for the Atlantic call next week. Liaison report: X12 KS: Attending the meeting in Boston at the end of next month. Subcommittee report: HISC Still on hold. Team report: Code Lists GKH: The new OASIS Code List TC held its inaugural meeting today. About eight people participated, and an almost equal number have signed up but couldn't attend this week due to holidays in Europe. Everyone is supportive of moving genericode 0.4 to OASIS standard as soon as possible. Genericode version 1.0 may even be ready in time for the first release of the UBL 2.0 Support Package. GKH is working of 0.7 of the UBL Code List Metholodogy. The revision does not affect the current defaultCodeList.xsl. Subcommittee report: PSC TM: Long call yesterday. Have been trying to clarify action items from the issues list and have added one -- just another spreadsheet edit for PB. Spent a lot of time rationalizing the AIs. It's not a sensible option to manually edit the PRD2 schemas. PB is confident that FX will be able to generate most of what's required. AGREED to revise the schema generation workflow arrived at in Montr�al as follows: PB generates PRD3 schemas; NDR editors review for NDR compliance. If further work needs to be done, then we will have MG and BR do separate updates and use ASN.1 (PT) to do the Q/A diff. Subcommittee report: TSC AS: Has not been meeting for the last few weeks; will meet this week. Review of Montr�al meeting minutes No comments. PRD3 status and planning TM: PB is finishing the spreadsheet edits; TM will review, then PB will create schemas Wednesday morning in Denmark. ACTION: TM to make sure someone close to the process reports in the Atlantic call. TM: The qDT spreadsheet is being updated to add the new transportation equipment type code. GKH: The genericode files have to be updated to corresp to qDT. Question: are we supposed to leave listURI blank? AGREED to populate the listURI value of each code list in qDT to point to the future home in the final (Standard) package of the gc file corresponding to that list. ACTION: GKH to ensure that those values (the absolute URLs of the files themselves) are used in the gc files and reflected in defaultCodeList.xsl. ACTION: JB to request the canonical final UBL 2.0 URL from OASIS and publish it to the list. GKH: Note that Issue 28 should reflect a change to defaultCodeList.xsl; that has to be updated after the new schemas have been generated. AGREED that we will switch the document format to Docbook during the 15 days that PRD3 is undergoing public review. ACTION: GKH to convert the draft presented to the TC for balloting next week to Docbook (so we will freeze all changes to the prose for the week while he is working on the conversion). JB: The PRD3 change log must also be finished next week so that we can submit PRD3 for public review. TM: Deadline for example docs? JB: 25 September. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
