3. Status of oustanding Issues from last week

No more issues on the Transport component model, UML model is updated.

Gunther has generated schema from the Pearl script according to CCT and NDR, he will work with Mike who is working on the assembled document.

Gunther found several issues not addressed by NDR when generating the schema: The globally defined element is not very useful because BBIE in Aggregate CC uses the same object class. The use of complex type in Aggregate CC is not defined in NDR yet. How to express code list? And how to define namespace to describe code list?

Bill French has some feedback; he will organize a meeting with Ron Schuldt to answer some of the UDEF related questions for UBL. For example, what is the benefit of UDEF ID in comparison to the existing CC UID, which is more neutral? The strategic and technical issue of UDEF. Tim will email to Ron in the next couple days.

4. Analysis Team report  (Sue/Michael)

Made considerable progress on the comments received, updated the model using the SAP hierarchy view.

Some data element terms were discussed. I.e. Shipment vs. Order; Dispatch item vs. Line item etc. Tax is independent to any party. Stig has an email with Mike and Tim on this topic, Tim will sent it out to the team for comment.

5. Assembly Team report (Mike)

Mike is the only person working on this, he will have document for peer review next week. Sue thinks that a document like ‘implementation guideline’ needs to be created to describe the assembly process, how to use the structure, and show the tie between the trade model and the transport model. This document could be part of the scope statement.



6. QA Team report (Marion)

The next normalized model will be for publish. Anyone who assemble document will hand his or her model to the QA team for review. Marion will not be able to facilitate the conf. calls but he will support by email.


7. Review work plan and schedule

Tim will send out new updated schedule for the next release.


8. Reports on status of other UBL subcommittees 
* Tools and technique sc 
* Naming and design rules sc

NDR is doing a lot of editing of their documents. Namespace for every code list needs to be addressed. NDR release date needs to match the Library Content group’s release date; their deliverables also needs to be aligned. Marion suggested creating a packaging team; Tim, Lisa, and Bill will work on this.

9. Other Business

The UBL team truly appreciates Mike Adcock’s extra effort in this release. Tim said a bottle of wine is in the mail to recognize Mike’s contribution.

Next Meeting - Next Tuesday, same phone number and time.
