MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING TUESDAY 24 FEBRUARY 2009 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) Anne Hendry G. Ken Holman Tim McGrath (vice chair) Andy Schoka STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ubl.xml.org/events GKH: Proposed dates for XML 2009: 30 September to 1 October 2009, Arlington, Virginia. Review of Atlantic call minutes No comments. Schedule review http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200902/msg00007.html UBL 2.1 (General) GKH: We need a row between 11 and 12 for production of the schema generation environment. AGREED to add this row to the schedule and aim to work on prototyping during the August TC meeting in Montréal, using the UBL 2.0 data models for test purposes. TM: Regarding this correspondence: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200902/msg00016.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200902/msg00018.html Stephen Green has found a couple of ambiguities in the UBL 2.0 Ordering Process diagram that will require correction in UBL 2.1. He has proposed a solution for these two issues that will be added to the list of 2.1 revisions. PSC (TM): Will be holding a joint kickoff meeting this week with members of the CPFR, Sales Report, Utility Statement, and eTendering teams. The Icelandic government is now engaged with the Utility work, and there will be a meeting next week in Denmark to review feedback coming out of the UBL TC meeting in Fremantle. TSC (AS): Met last week, had very positive discussion with Jan Tore Pedersen and Hans Westerheim of the Freightwise initiative, including a presentation from Jan. They will be working with us going forward. We used the Yugma SE plugin to Skype for sharing the screen; it performed well, and everyone was happy with it. This is proving a useful tool for sharing spreadsheets, presentations, and demos. There is no license fee for the Skype Edition (SE). It offers just basic functionality (no desktop sharing, only host desktop broadcast), but this is sufficient for our subcommittee meetings. The TSC meeting this week will take place later in the day, and we will concentrate on CC harmonization. FIRTG (JB): The team is OK with the 2009 schedule and is moving forward. NDR 2.0 (JB): In the final round of formatting issue resolution together with BH and GKH. Work last week was put aside to get a revision of the Customization Guidelines out for further editing. Will pick this up at the beginning of next week. Customization: See agenda item below. IDD Vol. 1 (JB/GKH): ESLSC is implementing the correction to an error found by GKH and appears to be done. ACTION: JB to begin wrapping this up for second (two-week) public review. XAdES (JB): Prospective members have been identified and are adding themselves to the TC. Expect formal constitution of the task group next week. UN/CEFACT convergence (TM): Status reviewed. Still no feedback on the collaboration proposal. Issues list updates: AGREED that with the newly instituted schedule review (above), we don't need this on the list as a separate Standing Agenda Item. ISO TC 204 WG1 ACTION (2/17): AS to circulate Cornwall paper to the TC and invite UBL members to participate in the team currently doing UBL/UN CC mapping. Pending. UBL 2.0 CUSTOMIZATION GUIDELINES Long discussion of the role of QDT and the difference between schema conformance and code list conformance. Result: there will need to be some architectural changes in 2.1, but these do not need to be addressed in the 2.0 guidelines. ACTION: TM to further revise the draft and copy to the editorial team working on this. UBL 2.1 SCHEMA GENERATION JB: Formation of the Schema Generation Task Group has been proposed to the TC: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200902/msg00019.html All TC members interested in participating in the SGTG are invited to contact Oriol. JB: Just now in receipt of a message from Mark Crawford regarding the reference to a "codelist-free UDT." It appears that sloppy wording has led to a misunderstanding of what's intended here; we are extending the UN/CEFACT UDT in a way that is completely compatible with the UN/CEFACT work, not departing from it. ACTION: JB to send a clarification. 2009 TC MEETING SCHEDULE 20-24 April 2009, colocated with the UN/CEFACT Forum in Rome if possible. TM: Nothing new to report. People planning to go should start making travel arrangements. 17-21 August 2009 in Montréal, colocated with Balisage the previous week. TC CONCALL SCHEDULE JB: Not traveling in March after all, so this is our schedule: Week of 2009.02.23: Regular schedule Week of 2009.03.02: Regular schedule Week of 2009.03.09: Regular schedule Week of 2009.03.16: Regular schedule Week of 2009.03.23: Regular schedule Week of 2009.03.30: Regular schedule OTHER BUSINESS Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
