Persistent identifier element addition to StationXML, schema modification for technical review
2015-07-27 18:41:26

Hello WG2,

The schema modification for the approved by WGII (www.fdsn.org/wgIII/V1.0-21Jul2014-DOIFDSN.pdf http://www.fdsn.org/wgIII/V1.0-21Jul2014-DOIFDSN.pdf) has been implemented and is ready for technical review.

Reinoud, I suggest a two week deadline for this review.

The Github pull request is here:

https://github.com/FDSN/StationXML/pull/3

A direct view of the changes is here:

https://github.com/FDSN/StationXML/pull/3/files

Modifications from the original proposal are as follows:

1) Remove prefix from Identifier value as requested by the authors of the proposal.
2) Fixed IdentifierElement => IdentifierType so consistent with example and other schema types.
3) Added an annotation to IdentifierType to describe usage:
<xs:documentation>A type to document persistent identifiers.
Identifier values should be specified without a URI scheme (prefix),
instead the identifer type is documented as an attribute.
</xs:documentation>
4) Added maxOccurs="unbounded" to the usage in BaseNodeType to allow more than one Identifier:
<xs:element name="Identifier" type="fsx:IdentifierType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

regards,
Chad
