Hello UBL TC, Regarding this item from the UBL TC Pacific call minutes of 30 September: JB: Roberto Cisternino has requested that we consider the addition of a specification for the use of XAdES (developed by ETSI) for the advanced electronic signature of UBL documents. TM: ETSI have developed XAdES, a data encryption standard for electronic signatures in XML that is used in the financial community and other areas such as etendering. It appears that Oriol Bausà has implemented XAdES for UBL in Spain; this could serve as a model for others. Roberto has been asked by a member from ETSI to form a liaison for further work. AGREED that since the method uses UBL extension and a subset of UBL signature, it qualifies as a profile of UBL and should be so defined if resources can be found to do the work. We're now looking for UBL TC members interested in forming an XAdES Task Group to work on the formal definition of an XAdES UBL Profile. We're also looking for a UBL TC member to become a liaison to ETSI for this purpose. If you are a TC member willing to engage in this work, please contact me off the list ([email protected]). Jon
