Validator: Status

[Jochen Staerk]

Hi,

In the past months there has been much work on a open source ZUGFeRD
(1+ZUGFeRD 2 public preview) validator which will be presented on
26./27.04. in Bielefeld http://www.zugferd-entwicklertage.de/ .

It will be a beta, probably the current release (0.4.3 available at
https://github.com/ZUGFeRD/ZUV/releases/). FeRDMC is working on a
prototype for a online validation (thanks).

Since July last year there were two important developments:
- the architecture had to be changed from ZUV being a VeraPDF (a open
source PDF/A validator) plugin, so VeraPDF embedding ZUV into ZUV
embedding VeraPDF and
- at least for one of the profiles of the upcoming ZUGFeRD 2.0, namely
the EN16931 profile, the CEN (thank you very much) released some open
source Schematron
(https://github.com/CenPC434/validation/tree/master/cii/schematron),
which is also used in the XRechnung validator
https://github.com/itplr-kosit/validator and which is now also used in
ZUV (short for ZUgferd+Verapdf).

Please feel free to try the 0.4.3 already and raise
feedback/comments/questions (ideally in this group) and let me know if
you're interested to contribute: We need Java and XSLT developers, e.g.
for a XMP check (java) or invoice total calculation (XSLT). And I wonder
if we should do another (free of charge) webinar workshop in the
beginning of may.

kind regards,
Jochen
