Better your supply-chain or transportation document processing (invoices, purchase orders, transportation status, etc.) by:
- improving the timeliness of sending, receiving and responding to business documents by reducing human interaction;
- improving the accuracy of information in business documents by using an electronic representation;
- improving the return on investment in electronic document technology by using international standards; and
- improving the impact on the environment by removing the reliance on using paper.
OASIS UBL is an internationally-standardized specification for a suite of common business documents (invoices, purchase orders, waybills, etc.) and a concrete XML syntax for expressing those documents in a machine-readable format. It is flexible enough to include your own business objects and XML syntax as extensions. It is structured in such a way that you can make your own business documents utilizing a common library of business objects.
OASIS UBL is not owned by any application vendor, it is owned by the not-for-profit consortium Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
and developed by the Universal Business Language Technical Committee. OASIS UBL can be downloaded for free and without encumbrances and without having to register in advance or even notify OASIS of its use. It can be used by commercial products. It can be used by private projects, internal or public. The two normative parts of UBL are the semantic definitions of the components and the W3C Schema expressions.As a reassurance to users and to developers that UBL can be used safely and without future obligation, the OASIS copyright expressly states "The limited permissions granted above are perpetual and will not be revoked by OASIS or its successors or assigns." Please see the complete copyright text for further details.
