2001-04-26 T.D.Wason. IMS meta-data 1.2 XML-Schema. 2001-06-07 S.E.Thropp. Changed the multiplicity on all elements to match the Final 1.2 Binding Specification. Changed all elements that use the langstringType to a multiplicy of 1 or more Changed centity in the contribute element to have a multiplicity of 0 or more. Changed the requirement element to have a multiplicity of 0 or more. 2001-07-25 Schawn Thropp. Updates to bring the XSD up to speed with the W3C XML Schema Recommendation. The following changes were made: Change the namespace to reference the 5/2/2001 W3C XML Schema Recommendation,the base type for the durtimeType, simpleType, was changed from timeDuration to duration. Any attribute declarations that have use="default" had to change to use="optional" - attr.type. Any attribute declarations that have value ="somevalue" had to change to default = "somevalue" - attr.type (URI) 2001-09-04 Schawn Thropp Changed the targetNamespace and namespace of schema to reflect version change 2001-11-04 Chris Moffatt: 1. Changes to enable the schema to work with commercial XML Tools a. Refer to the xml namespace using the "x" abbreviation instead of "xml" b. Remove unecessary non-deterministic constructs from schema. i.e. change occurrences of "#any" to "#other" 2. Revert to original IMS MD version 1.2 namespace. i.e. "http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsmd_v1p2" This change done to support the decision to only change the XML namespace with major revisions of the specification ie. where the information model or binding changes (as opposed to addressing bugs or omissions). A stable namespace is necessary to the increasing number of implementors. 3. Changed name of schema file to "imsmd_v1p2p2.xsd" and version attribute to "IMS MD 1.2.3" to reflect minor version change 2005-08-26 Colin Smythe (IMS/GLC) 1. Added the IMS Copyright statement 2. Removed the x: prefix references and ensured the import statment uses the W3C namespace (http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace) and schemalocation (http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd). 3. Changed name of schema file to "imsmd_v1p2p4.xsd" and made sure the version attribute to "IMS MD 1.2.4" to reflect minor version change. 4. The multiplicity of 'taxon' in 'taxon' path has been changed from 0..1 to 0..*. This problem was identified in the IMS Maintenance Database as issue: 198. This is now consistent with IEEE LOM. 5. The recursive element of 'taxon' within 'taxon' has been removed. This problem was identified in the IMS Maintenance Database as issue: 198. This is now consistent with IEEE LOM. This is the version used for the IMS specification packages. Any namespaced element from any namespace may be used for an "any" element. The namespace for the imported element must be defined in the instance, and the schema must be imported.
