Tim, I second Ken's e-mail below regarding UBL, and provide additional information: UBL is based on the UN/CEFACT ebXML Core Components data modeling methodology - you'll see ubiquitous references within UBL to entities such as Core Components, Business Information Entities (BIEs), etc. If you'd like more background on the Core Components methodology, here are some presentations I gave last year on Core Components [1][2] (same presentation, different formats). I'm leading the effort to "Core Component enable" the OASIS/ebXML Registry architecture to inherently recognize and handle Core Components and their associated entities. Hope this helps.
