4 - Notes

When designing the XML Schema, the following guidelines have been followed.

• A complex type has been defined for each class of the model.
• To follow GovTalk guidelines the name of a complex type always terminates with "Structure".
• To follow GovTalk guidelines the name of a simple type always terminates with "Type".
• An element in the complex type has been defined for each attribute of a class.
• When relevant, the Dublin Core naming convention was followed for the elements.
• The XML Schema was defined under the namespace http://schemas.esd.org.uk/BS8723-5/XmlSchema/.
