TBG3 TransportTBG3 TransportAchievement highlights of the week (3) Resolution

Cooperation with UBL-TSC (Transportation Subcommittee)

TBG3 recognises that its comments regarding Transport related items to the UBL 2.0 draft release have been acknowledged by UBL in their public review. Considering that UBL have agreed to correct the noted discrepancies in order to comply with the TBG3 semantic inputs, TBG3 resolves to further cooperate with UBL-TSC in the second public review of UBL 2.0.

However, this collaboration needs to be considered within the overall framework of the current process to enable UBL activity to be included within UN/CEFACT.

Other tourist attractions in India(for details http://www.tourisminindia.com)

Jaipur imprints itself on your memory in the most vivid of colours. You could stay in one of its many palaces or mansions for a royal experience and wander off on elephant back to view the Amber Fort majestically located up on a hill. Do not miss the Hawa Mahal, the tall facade with delicately filigreed red sandstone. Beyond Jaipur, in Rajasthan are fabulous towns with magnificent forts and palaces that still reflect a feudal spirit Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Udaipur.

Mumbai, a major metropolis and the financial capital of India, is a logical start to your perambulations. The Gateway of India, built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to the Delhi Durbar, The Prince of Wales Museum, the Jehangir Art Gallery, the various churches, temples and shrines are worth a glimpse.

Goa is a fabulous getaway with its beautiful

We can recognize other organizationsProvided they adopt our semantics

We can recommend other implementationsAs long as we don’t have something ourselvesWe should work hard to produce deliverablesWe need to streamline our process

Semantic InteroperabilityIs the key issue everyone wants to solve

UN/CEFACT can be the platform to do thisThis will put us on the map like never beforeWe have to realize that this means we have to

accept different syntax implementationsThere are legacy implementations out thereThere are specific industry/Regional requirements

In the past we standardized UNSMs not Migs
