Annex B

(normative)

ATML Common Element Schemas

Should the reader not have a general understanding of XML schemas, a XML Schema Tutorial [B26] is

available for reference. This tutorial will help with the understanding of the contents of this Annex, as well

as the Common.xsd and HardwareCommon.xsd schemas that this Annex is defining the elements of.

These common element schemas utilize IEEE 1641 (STD) for all signal descriptions. Therefor IEEE 1641

is a normative reference (as described in Clause 2) to the understanding of the common element schemas

and the implementation of any ATML componment standard which includes one or more of the common

element schemas.

single root element. The Common schema is a reference schema containing only type definitions that may

be used in other schemas. It has no root element and there will be no instance documents directly validated

against the Common schema.

B.1.3.11 StandardUnit


This type is defined only as a convenience. The StandardUnit type shall be used by any schema attribute or

element that contains the unit of measure for a numerical value (i.e., „volts‟, „ohms‟, „MHz‟, etc.). The

contents of this attribute shall be compliant with IEEE Std 260.1TM

[B5].

B.1.3.12 Uuid


Pattern: [A-Fa-f0-9]{32}|(\{|\()?[A-Fa-f0-9]{8}-([A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-){3}[A-Fa-f0-9]{12}(\}|\))?

This type is used by other schema attributes or elements that will hold a “universal unique identifier”,

commonly known as either a GUID or UUID. The regular expression defined limits the contents of an

attribute to either a single 32-digit hexadecimal string or a 32-digit hex string patterned as [8]-[4]-[4]-[4]-

[12] digits.

B.1.4 Attribute Groups

B.1.4.1 DocumentRootAttributes

In accordance with Annex A, this attribute group shall be used at the root element of all XML schemas

developed as part of the family of schemas.



securityClassification c:NonBlankString A use-case determined string declaring the

security classification level of the element

containing this attribute and the subordinate

branch of the XML document.

identifier for the element containing this

attribute.

Required

B.1.4.2 UnitAttributes

Used within this schema by complexTypes: c:DatumType, c:IndexedArrayType.

In nearly all ATS use cases, strictly limiting units of measure to SI or English units is restrictive. There are

numerous cases where it is desirable to qualify a unit with an additional text string e.g., “peak to peak” or

“rms” for voltage measurements. This attribute group provides for the inclusion of a standard SI unit of

measure (as defined in IEEE Std 260.1TM

), a non-standard unit of measure and a qualifier thereto.



nonStandardUnit c:NonBlankString Any non-standard unit, not already defined in

IEEE Std 260.1TM

Optional

standardUnit c:StandardUnit When used, this attribute shall only contain a unit

of measure as defined in IEEE Std 260.1TM

Optional

unitQualifier c:NonBlankString A textual qualifier that is to be applied to the

attribute of either the standardUnit or

nonStandardUnit. Examples include “rms” or

“peak-to-peak” for a standardUnit of “volts”.

Optional
