Minutes Small Business SC call 17th May 2005

The UBL Small Business Subcommittee met for 

(first) conference call on 17th May 2005

 

Attendees:

Micah Dubinko

Stephen Green

G. Ken Holman

 

This meetings was quorate

 

 

Agenda Item: UBL 1.0 Small Business Subset 1.0-beta 
Package

 

GKH: the Normative section includes both the RNC 
and the XSD schemas

- this may need correcting since the RNC schema is 
presently the normative 

one and the XSD is just informative

 

It was agreed that Ken would try to simplify the 
RNC schema so that

both schemas could define the subset specification 
XML documents

in the same way and therefore both be normative. 
This might require

changes to those documents. 

 

Initially it was considered that this would be a 
pre-cd review and that

the package would not yet be presented as a 
proposal for a committee

draft. However it was then decided that 
if the changes could be made as 

agreed (with SG making other editorial changes such 
as adding end-

slashes to links to subdirectories) then the SC 
could vote to present

the package as a proposed committee draft subject 
to TC decision and

public review.

 

Agreed: The package changes will be made by Ken and 
Steve and

posted to the SC list for an internal SC 
review

 

Agreed: Steve will then ask for an SC vote by post 
such that if there 

were no negative 
votes then the finished package would be submitted

to the TC as a proposed committee draft for public 
review and TC

acceptance (or otherwise).

 

Agreed: Schedule would be one or, if there were 
complications, 

perhaps two weeks to 
completion in the SC.

 

 

Other discussions: 

ebBPSS example fragment in the SBS index - 
this would suffice

for now but in future it might be feasible to 
provide a set of SBS ebBPSS's

and perhaps schematron versions of the SBS 
documents

 

HISC / additions of UNLayout-based human-readable 
labels to the

UBL spreadsheets. If these were included 
eventually in UBL schemas

then it might be feasible to include them 
in SBS XML specs too.

The value of such labels in the 
spreadsheets to HISC efforts was

welcomed as it might make it possible to generate 
HISC specs

automatically in the future. 

 

Ken and Micah would both be presenting at XTech 
next week.

 

The meeting was adjourned after an 
hour
