Ken Holman Tim McGrath (vice chair) Andy Schoka STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ubl.xml.org/events GKH: UN/CEFACT Forum meeting has been proposed for 30 August - 3 September in Geneva (not final). TM: eChallenges e-2009 conference (sponsored by EC and IEEE) will be held October 2009 in Istanbul: http://echallenges.org/e2009/ 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.
