[edit] Event Log

27 June 2007

Discussion with Renzo, Tanya and Tim to change usage of xs:annotation element in schema file:

Proposal:

• use documentation element for internal definition/description
• use xs:appinfo element for application specific info, e.g. GCat, GenCat input forms

This follows the intention of XML Schema developers, where xs:documentation element is used for human-readable description, and xs:appinfo is used for application-specific extension information.

Example:

<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>
internal description
</xs:documentation>
<xs:appinfo>
<gencat>
<report>
 <definition>text for mouse over tool tip</definition>
 <description>text for mouse click e.g. pop-up window</description>

<input>
 <type>text|password|textarea|radio|singleselectbox|combobox|autocomplete|checkbox|list|upload</type>
 <size></size>
 <maxlength></maxlength>
<autocomplete></autocomplete>
 <rows></rows>
 <cols></cols>
</input>

</report>
</gencat>
<xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>

Tim's requirements for GenCat and his instance of it, is to be able to define input fields types/styling for elements,
