There are 94 genericode files in the UBL distribution in: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.0/cl/gc/ Four of them are derived from the CEFACT schemas and 11 others are populated with values from the UBL committee ... the remainder are meta-data only without any values. I understand quantity does not reflect differentiation ... you won't see a lot of different uses of the code list document model in those 94 examples. Regarding "how to implement code lists", when thinking about validating XML documents using any XML vocabulary, the UBL TC is publishing a methodology that is not constrained only to UBL .. it works with *any* XML document by implementing a Schematron-based "second pass value validation" step that is run after XSD-based (or RELAX-NG, or DTD) structural/lexical validation. The latest version is at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=22591 When thinking about data entry and code lists, only last evening did I post to the UBL list a discussion of the use of the validation artefacts in a data entry tool to direct the user editing of controlled vocabulary information items: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200704/msg00025.html Both of the above work independent of UBL as there is nothing UBL-specific in the discussions. So, when you use the word "implement" do the above issues of validation and data entry cover your topic, or were you thinking of other aspects of implementing code lists? . . . . . . . . . .
