Hello, I am interested in this topic. I would like to make sure I understand what the scope of this activity is. In particular, am I correct to interpret this as an XML representation that could serve as an alternative for the Excel sheets as used in UBL CEFACT to encode Core Components or BIEs, or does it have a different purpose ? Would it be just an interchange representation, or would it also support authoring (data definition)? My interest is the following: in a project (on interchange of data across government agencies) I am involved in we have about 400 BIEs defined in a 150 page Word document that serves as specification for a collection of XML schemas for interchange documents. To alleviate maintenance, our plan is to transform the Word document to an XML document from which we can generate the XML schema and documentation in a consistent way in the next couple of weeks, a bit like the UBL XLS to XSD Perl script but then using XSLT. It seems that an XML schema corresponding to the UBL worksheets would be a fairly simple schema. In our case we would need to extend it in a number of areas (metadata, documentation elements). We will do this ourselves, but if there is some starting point, in ATG2 or by other initiatives (like Duane's) we could use (to facilitate migration to some future standard format), that would be great. Could you give me an update on the current state of this work? Are there other similar actvities I should be aware of?
