Documentation ### Copyright © TDWG (Taxonomic Databases Working Group, www. tdwg.org), 2004. This file is a special version of the Unified Biosciences Information Frameword (UBIF) XML schema. It may be used only for viewing convenience and may not be distributed independently from the primary schema files (UBIF.xsd, UBIF_TypeLib.xsd, etc.). The inclusion of all parts starts below: !###

<p> Unified Biosciences Information Frameword (UBIF) XML schema for data exchange and integration across knowledge domains. The schema has been design for biological data, but is applicable to other knowledge areas as well. It is based on work of the TDWG SDD and ABCD subgroups and currently jointly authored by the SDD, ABCD, TaxonName subgroups and by GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility). The framework may be used without changes for new schemata, no registration is necessary. Its main features are:<br/> * A foundation of shared simple and complex types, including some enumerations to simplify world-wide data integration and interoperability across language barriers. * A top-level structure of Datasets collections containing independent Dataset objects. The collection is purposely semantically neutral; relations between Dataset have to be discovered by the data consumer or are assumed to be implicit in the protocol requesting the data.<br/> * Derivation metadata that support tracing and debugging the online transformation history data. They provide important technical information about access providers and the path of potentially multiple portals involved.<br/> * Metadata describing the principal data collection from which the dataset was derived. The dataset may represent the entire source dataset or it may be filtered, normalized, or enriched with secondary information. A dataset is never an aggregation of multiple data collection sources with different authorship, copyright, or other IPR; these are assumed to be delivered as separate datasets. Note: Derivation and content/source metadata together provide all necessary information for UDDI support.<br/> * External data interface (EDI) providing a standard mechanism to link to external data providers for knowledge domains outside of the scope of the current dataset. This includes a collection of supported object linking mechanisms involving globally unique identifiers and resolving mechanisms. Proxy objects can replace a links in cases where a specific object is (perhaps not yet) available in an external data source, and they cache a minimalized data interface on the assumption that access is asynchronous, slow, or may be temporarily unavailable. Furthermore, these cached data provide semantic information to human readers, preserving the semantics of a link even if it has become permanently broken.<br/> * A single "payload" element which must come from a different namespace. Note that within a Datasets collection each Dataset object may have a payload from a different external schema. It is the responsibility of the consumer to decide which dataset payload it is interested in or can process.</p> <p> Conventions: Element or attribute names starting with underscores (__) are present in the schema for discussion purposes only and should be only experimentally used. Annotations containing @ indicate unfinished points of discussion.<br/> Note: blockDefault="#all" in xs:schema prevents that in instance documents derived types can be used in elements typed to the base type (which otherwise is possible using xsi:type=""). - finalDefault is not set, further type derivation is currently not considered problematic. Please contact us if you believe otherwise. Note that according to the w3c discussion forum, the developers of xml Schema consider to drop the final attribute in the upcoming XML Schema version 1.1. - Nillable: xsi:null is not supported in UBIF documents (schema declaration nillable="false" is default, not explicitly stated).</p> <p> Copyright © TDWG (Taxonomic Databases Working Group, www. tdwg.org), 20.

The Datasets collection is the only root element allowed in UBIF:

=== Data derivation, transformation, and derivation history:

=== Meta data about the entire data collection from which the data set was derived:

=== Proxy data objects (representing external resources) and references to these objects:

=== Class names (biology: taxon names):

=== Class hierarchy (biology: taxon concepts):

=== Units (biology: specimen, 'Objects' in earlier versions of SDD):

=== Publications, references, and citations:

--- The following types build on the PublicationProxy infrastructure:

=== Agents (persons, organization, software agent):

--- The following types build on the AgentProxy infrastructure:

--- Note: A modeling problem is that in instance documents Agents within a role are usually ordered (sequence), but different roles not (authors+editors = editors+authors). UBIF 1.0 until beta 14 (available on WIKI!), attempted to solve the problem by introducing a 2-layer collection with Creators/AgentRole[@role='aut']/Agent[@ref]. Now this has been abandoned because it introduced too much complexity.

--- types related to Agent references:

=== Geography:

=== Media (especially images, audio/video):

=== Measurement units:

=== Public objects carrying a key also generally provide for developer annotations/comments (undefined language), version extensions for future versions of UBIF, and custom extensions (= "application annotations").

=== Key/ref infrastructure for linking within a data set:

Note: the use of attribute groups instead of globally defined and referred attributes is a work-around for problems occurring with attribute definitions in included library schemata. The use of global attributes by ref caused validation or namespace problems, even though this library has no target namespace (chameleon pattern); Spy 2004.4 says, e. g., ... attributes that need to be qualified because your schema uses attributeForm = qualified or global attributes. You must specify a prefix for your schema namespace.

=== Options to link using URLs or GUID + resolving mechanisms (used especially for UBIF data proxies):

=== Basic type library: ===

Basic generic types

Derived string type with restricting patterns

=== The following Range, Date, and Coordinate types describe frequently recurring simple type combinations in a element with attributes

-- Element with 2 attributes to define a range:

-- Types for composite gregorian calendar date/time (points in time where parts may be missing; following the seven property model described, e. g., in xml Schema 1.1 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xmlschema11-2-20040716/#theSevenPropertyModel). Instead of gYear, gMonth, gDay integer types with constraining facets are used for two reasons: a) each of them may have a timezone, which may lead to inconsistent data with multiple timezones; b) the lexical representation seems to be occasionally poorly implemented (e.g. where '31', or '---5' are accepted, whereas valid examples are '---31', '---05', and '---05+02:00'). In addition to the seven property model additional text attributes for either unsharp additions or complete verbatim dates are added. Note that incomplete dates in most cases are calendar specific and incomplete non-gregorian dates can not be expressed. Furthermore, for complete dates it may be unclear whether a reformed or unreformed date has been used (e.g. in Russia in the 19th century).

-- Types for geographical coordinates

=== Various complex types

=== Extension of xs:language and a reference element using Language

Complex types that add attributes 'language' or 'preferred' to the simple types String, String255, anyURI:

Note: the use of attribute groups instead of globally defined and referred attributes is a work-around for problems occurring with attribute definitions in included library schemata.

Note on current usage: these types are used by ABCD and UBIF, but not by SDD (which uses mostly audiences instead of language)

=== Some text data support limited xhtml. (Could appropriate elements from xhtml be imported and encapsulated here?)

=== Statements are a special form of complex text expressions

=== The following types are currently unused (August 2004), but may be used in the future or by other standards.

=== Enumerations to support interoperability. THE ANNOTATIONS ARE HERE REMOVED, please open the full files or see the provided html documentation!

Internal formatting note: Annotations of individual enumerated values should be written as ^"short label" + " - " + "detailed information". An xslt transforms such schema annotations into a data document that can directly be used in user interfaces.

However, note that simply splitting into taxon name and authors does not work, because authors may be in the middle of the parts of the taxon name (e. g. in botanical autonyms). Currently the development of the TDWG taxon names standard should be awaited first.

Documentation Describes the providers and application/ script(s) that produced the current data set, plus a derivation history of all automatic or semi-automatic transformation with negligable or automated content changes. Derivation examples: a) Generation of file from a database, b) Adding/removing data to/from an existing UBIF xml file, c) Passing data through a portal without intentionally changing any data. The information provided here is intended to a) facilitate debugging b) react to known deficits of generators, esp. if generators produce syntactically correct but semantically faulty data (misapplication of data elements, etc.) c) evaluate the quality and scope of archived data, especially whether the data contained in the document are complete or an excerpt from a larger data set. d) inform about options to update/refresh data [ATTR: datetime (= When was it done?)] = Date and time (UTC or local time with timezone information) at which the current document or data stream was created by the generator. Using UTC (Universal time coordinates = Greenwich mean time) is recommended. [ATTR: gooduntil (= information about expiration of validity for caching purposes.]

Glossary

Abstract (Applies to complex type definitions and element declarations). An abstract element or complex type cannot used to validate an element instance. If there is a reference to an abstract element, only element declarations that can substitute the abstract element can be used to validate the instance. For references to abstract type definitions, only derived types can be used.

All Model Group Child elements can be provided in any order in instances. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#element-all.

Choice Model Group Only one from the list of child elements and model groups can be provided in instances. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#element-choice.

Collapse Whitespace Policy Replace tab, line feed, and carriage return characters with space character (Unicode character 32). Then, collapse contiguous sequences of space characters into single space character, and remove leading and trailing space characters.

Key Constraint Like Uniqueness Constraint, but additionally requires that the specified value(s) must be provided. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cIdentity-constraint_Definitions.

Key Reference Constraint Ensures that the specified value(s) must match value(s) from a Key Constraint or Uniqueness Constraint. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cIdentity-constraint_Definitions.

Model Group Groups together element content, specifying the order in which the element content can occur and the number of times the group of element content may be repeated. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Model_Groups.

Nillable (Applies to element declarations). If an element declaration is nillable, instances can use the xsi:nil attribute. The xsi:nil attribute is the boolean attribute, nil, from the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace. If an element instance has an xsi:nil attribute set to true, it can be left empty, even though its element declaration may have required content.

Preserve Whitespace Policy Preserve whitespaces exactly as they appear in instances.

Prohibited Derivations (Applies to type definitions). Derivation methods that cannot be used to create sub-types from a given type definition.

Replace Whitespace Policy Replace tab, line feed, and carriage return characters with space character (Unicode character 32).

Sequence Model Group Child elements and model groups must be provided in the specified order in instances. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#element-sequence.

Substitution Group Elements that are members of a substitution group can be used wherever the head element of the substitution group is referenced.

Substitution Group Exclusions (Applies to element declarations). Prohibits element declarations from nominating themselves as being able to substitute a given element declaration, if they have types that are derived from the original element's type using the specified derivation methods.

Target Namespace The target namespace identifies the namespace that components in this schema belongs to. If no target namespace is provided, then the schema components do not belong to any namespace.

Uniqueness Constraint Ensures uniqueness of an element/attribute value, or a combination of values, within a specified scope. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cIdentity-constraint_Definitions.
