News lets the community share announcements, press releases, and recommended news articles relevant to UBL. (Educational materials that are not time-sensitive are listed at Articles and white papers.)
This news article is the latest update on the Australian whole-of-economy eBusiness framework.
The officially specifications will be published in the next few weeks at http://digitalbusinesscouncil.com.au. The article omits the fact that the PEPPOL-developed OASIS standards for business discovery (SMP and SML) are also being used.
Several of the council’s members were already working on bringing the standards to life with an aggressive timeline as early as this coming September.
I'm very proud to announce that today the UBL TC was nominated for the second time in three years for the OASIS Open Standards Cup, this time for the Outstanding Approved Standard:

All committee members work hard for the UBL community and I am pleased to see their efforts recognized with this nomination.

"MSC Belgium selected the OASIS UBL (Universal Business Language) Invoice
XML standard which is widely gaining traction in national and
international contexts."
The CEN PC 434 publication "Electronic invoicing - Semantic data model of the core elements of an electronic invoice" has reached its Enquiry stage following the CEN standards development process.
The official press release from OASIS, ISO and IEC is now published at:
I sometimes wonder why I bother investing my time and energy in developing standards for eBusiness.
The returns seem so tenuous. The challenges are complex and the frustrations irritating.
I am not surprised that so many talented people lose patience and stop spending their time in endless teleconferences, reading unfathomable reports or dealing with childish egos and power politics.
Do you speak UBL?
Huh? UBL? This question aroused the curiosity of Dutch motorists this summer.
Dutch ERP company Yuki (https://www.yuki.nl) were so proud to announce their facility for electronic invoicing in the OASIS UBL format that they ran a two-week billboard campaign around the ten largest cities in the Netherlands.
The final ballot for OASIS Universal Business Language 2.1 to become the International Standard ISO/IEC 19845 is now in the hands of national bodies for their vote.
The votes are due June 22, 2015, at which point ISO/IEC will tally the support for this final document to be published as it is.
Country citizens and companies worldwide who are interested in UBL are encouraged to bring their own national body's attention to this important ballot, expressing their support for a vote of approval.
OASIS is pleased to announce the approval and publication of two OASIS Committee Notes by the members of the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) TC.
The first is a Committee Note describing the governance of the process to propose, accept and incorporate changes to the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) 2 specifications.
There is also a Committee Note defining the possible mappings of IFTM components to the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) version 2.1.
For details see the Committee Published Supporting Materials page
I have made available (via YouTube) a series of online video tutorials to assist in understanding UBL.
They are listed on the UBL Presentations page.
