peppol-doctype-wildcard

The wildcard discovery scheme that simplifies PINT receiver registration.

Definition

Without wildcards, a receiver would need a separate SMP entry per jurisdiction specialisation. The wildcard scheme uses a trailing * so one registration matches many CustomizationID variants; the SMP resolution applies a best/longest-match algorithm. It complements, and is contrasted with, the exact-match busdox-docid-qns scheme.

Origin

Defined in the OpenPeppol 'Policy for use of Identifiers' (Peppol EDN) and the Peppol Service Metadata Publisher (SMP) specification, alongside the PINT rollout, published on docs.peppol.eu.

Example in context

peppol-doctype-wildcard::urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2::Invoice##urn:peppol:pint:billing-1@*::2.1

  • busdox-docid-qns — the exact-match counterpart scheme.
  • PINT — the model whose specialisations drove the wildcard scheme.
