Great
work Gunther. And fast! I see (XML Spy 5 sees) these bugs in the
schema:
Element ForeignExchangeContract is undefined (ref'd from
ExchangeRateDetailsType)
I
pondered and investigated why your scripts failed to stumble on the collisions I
had predicted (previous post). I had been looking solely at the property
terms and qualifiers and not appending the representation terms. Doing so
disambiguates all the ambiguous cases I had uncovered. Makes sense to me
at least.
to
point (a) below: I'd opt for putting the documentation/annotation with the type
rather than the element
to
point (b) below. Yes it is possible. And in fact your schemas (e.g.
UBL_Reusable_05.xsd) has annotations on the local elements.
I
don't understand (c). and (d) is a genuine collision -- LCSC -- can you
repair to your satisfaction?
Also,
putting on my XML technologist hat -- is anyone else uncomfortable with all the
noise in our our complex type names... isn't FooDetailsType a bit much?
FooType was bad enough! (recall XSD has different namespaces for elements
and types -- but I digress).

Subject: [ubl-ndrsc] XML Schema
with Global Defined Elements.
Hello all,
I changed my Perl-Script now according the NDRSC
definitions of Burlington. It generates all BIEs as global defined elements
now. You'll find the complete package as an attached zip file.
Due to problems with Tims Excel spreadsheet
"UBL_Library_0p70_Reusable.xls", I still used the Excel spreadsheet
"UBL_Reusable_04.xls". I renamed it in ""UBL_Reusable_05.xls", now.
There are still some problems with global defined
elements:
a.) Where I put the annotation of
all BIEs? Within the complexType, or within each global defined element?
b.) Is it possible to put an annotation within an
defined element, which refers to a global defined element?
c.) There does not existing an global defined
annotation of generic (reusable) BBIEs, which are defined as global defined
elements. My perl script taking always the annotations from the last defined
BBIE.
d.) There existing the tag name "PaymentTerms"
twice. One for "Payment Terms. Details" and the other for "Payment Terms.
Text". Both is correct, because we decided that we can eliminate the
representation terms "Text" and "Details". I changed the "PaymentTerms" of
"Payment Terms. Text" into "PaymentTermsPaymentTerms". But this looks not very
nice. I guess, we will get this problem very often.
Kind regards,
Gunther
