It has been proposed to change the definition of the existing XPath BBIE.
This is the example that was being discussed on the 2019-10-23 call:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Invoice> <ID>INV1234</ID> <Information> <DocumentReference> <ID>PO9876</ID> <IssueDate>2019-10-20</IssueDate> <DocumentTypeCode>PO</DocumentTypeCode> <VersionID>3</VersionID> <DocumentStatusCode>Approved</DocumentStatusCode> <DocumentDescription>The purchase order</DocumentDescription> </DocumentReference> </Information> <OtherInformation> <DocumentReference> <ID>PO9876</ID> <XPath>/Invoice/Information[1]/DocumentReference[1]</XPath> </DocumentReference> </OtherInformation> </Invoice> <!-- Current definition: A reference to another place in the same XML document instance in which \=============================================/ | ^ | | | `––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––' DocumentReference appears. Do we need an additional BBIE? ReferencedDocumentXPath - A reference to a place found within the referenced document. -->
It was noted in the meeting that the same result is effected by changing the document being referenced to be the self and changing the definition:
<OtherInformation> <DocumentReference> <ID>INV1234</ID> <XPath>/Invoice/Information[1]/DocumentReference[1]</XPath> </DocumentReference> </OtherInformation>
