The Danish government on Wednesday announced that it has formally adopted a beta version of the Universal Business Language (UBL) as a standard for e-commerce in the public sector.
Following a 30-day public hearing, the Danish XML Committee decided to use UBL 0.7 to enable integration between systems controlled by state authorities and a newly implemented portal for public procurement. Both private and public purchasers and their suppliers have access to the portal, whose functionality, interface, security and transaction costs are regulated by the public sector.
UBL provides an XML library of common business data components together with
a set of standard business documents such as purchase orders and invoices
that are assembled from the component library. UBL is the product of an
international technical committee of the Organization for the Advancement of
Structured Information Standards (OASIS) consortium. Currently in beta version 1.0, UBL is royalty-free, according to OASIS.
