UBL FORMS TURKISH LOCALIZATION SUBCOMMITTEE

Hello ebxml-dev,

Turkish-speaking ecommerce implementers will be interested to know
that a UBL Turkish Localization Subcommittee (TRLSC) has been
formed under the direction of Professor Asuman Dogac of Middle
East Technical University in Ankara.  See

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/sc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl-trlsc

As with all OASIS technical committees, participation is open to
any OASIS member.  If you are interested in helping with
translation of the UBL Data Dictionary or promoting deployment of
UBL in Turkey, please contact Dr. Dogac at the address given on
the TRLSC page.

The TRLSC is one of eight UBL Localization Subcommittees.  For a

ABOUT UBL

UBL, the Universal Business Language, defines standard XML
business documents (purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices,
etc.) for a broad range of ordinary business processes, including
government procurement.  UBL 2.0, released as an OASIS Standard in
December 2006 and updated in May 2008, represents more than 10
years of continuous development in the creation of standard
international electronic business formats.  Like all OASIS
Standards, UBL is freely available, and it can be used by anyone
on a royalty-free basis.

The UBL developer community is supported by a public forum at
ubl.xml.org and by an open mail list, ubl-dev, which can be
subscribed to using the list manager at

Participation in the UBL Technical Committee is open to all OASIS
members.  For information on OASIS membership, see
