With many thanks to Andy Schoka for his feedback, I'm pleased to announce the first revision (after over a year) of the HTML reference reports for UBL 2 document models: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/ubl/index.htm#ubl2modelreport This revision incorporates a number of usability features, detailed help and descriptive information on the files themselves, additional "where-used" information for entities, the UBL 2.0 Update definitions and the latest International Data Dictionary definitions. The languages supported at this time are English, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. These extensively-hyperlinked reports are used in place of jumping back and forth between multiple spreadsheet files. Spreadsheet contents are copied into the single resource while being alphabetically indexed. "Walking" through the UBL models is done by clicking on entity names, while toggling back and forth between the summary and the tables is done by clicking on row numbers. Browser buttons "back" and "forward" easily take the user up and down the recently-traversed path through the document tree. The aggregate HTML report contains all entities and all tables for all document models. An individual document's HTML report contains only those common library entities used by the document type, eliding all entities not used. This reduces the "noise" by not having to scroll through common library entities that have no relationship with a particular document type. These reports form part of Crane's instructor-led training: "Practical Universal Business Language Deployment". More feedback is welcome! . . . . . . . . . . . . .
