Exchange Summit Americas: Introduction to Universal Business Language (UBL)

Workshop Objectives

Attendees of the Introduction to UBL workshop will learn the role of the OASIS Universal Business Language, internationally standardized as ISO/IEC 19845 and adopted by countries and companies worldwide. Used for procurement, E-Invoicing and transportation logistics, this open and free-to-use XML vocabulary can be embraced by any organization to satisfy an electronic format for important business documents.

There are many artefacts found and methodologies described in the Universal Business Language (UBL) deliverables. Without an awareness of the roles played by these, UBL can be perceived more complex or considered "too hard" to tackle successfully. This technically-oriented workshop is written for both the user of UBL and technical manager. For the implementer and specifying authority it is important to understand candidate opportunities to work with the artefacts and to gain hands-on experience in their use and applicability in the context of the documented methodologies and deployment strategies.

The following topics are covered through the workshop:

Introduction to UBL

- Parties, document types and profiles - use case and business documents

- Information items - data description spreadsheets o model conventions - naming and design rules

- Model semantics - data dictionary

- Documents and document models o reference to methodology for code list and value validation
