I will be working with the file dated 2008-08-26 and including the following items: TRACKING ITEMS We need to add a section on code list metadata; see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200803/msg00001.html Note on order of BBIEs and ASBIEs See minutes of Pacific call 1 July 2008. Questions regarding these two items have been sent to the NDR team and will also be put on the agenda for TC calls next week. ACTION: JB to make changes to the .xml after the questions outstanding have been addressed, then to BH for a respin, then JB to check for formatting problems. BH: Regarding the NIST schema checking facility: Zack at UCB is now working on the UBL rules. JB: There's some question how efforts other than UBL are supposed to use certain UBL-specific NDRs. BH: As well as rules that can't be tested programatically (e.g., the rule that spelling has to conform to the OED). Zack will distinguish between testable and nontestable rules. JB: We need a list of issues for this NDR cycle so that they don't get away from us. BH: We will take the Navy spreadsheets and pinpoint the problem cases. ACTION: Put on the Atlantic agenda for next week.
