XSD Data File Information ------------------------- Author: CP1.2 Project Team Date: 31st October, 2006 Version: 2.0 Status: CM/DN Release Description: This is a normative representation of the IMS CP 1.2 Information Model for binding purposes. Read the corresponding IMS CP Information Model for the Platform Independent Model representation. History: This is version 1 of the IMS CP v1.2 XSD. It directly supercedes IMS CP v1.1.4 XSD. Note that the target namespace has NOT been changed. Apart from the functional additions, the main structural changes are: (1) All of the elements and attributes are defined as local to their host object; (2) Comments have been added to the complexType definitions.

While every attempt has been made to ensure that this tool auto-generates the XSDs correctly, users should be aware that this is an experimental tool. Permission is given to make use of this tool. IMS makes no claim on the materials created by third party users of this tool. Details on how to use this tool are contained in the IMS document: "IMS General Web Services: WSDL/XSD Binding Auto-generation" available at the IMS web-site. Tool Copyright: 2005 (c) IMS Global Learning Consortium Inc. All Rights Reserved. Any namespaced element from any namespace may be included within an "any" element. The namespace for the imported element must be defined in the instance, and the schema must be imported. The extension has a definition of "strict" i.e. they must have their own namespace. A manifest element is a container for data structures whose contents describe a semantically complete instance of the IMS Content Packaging Information Model. A manifest element may contain and reference child manifest elements in the same IMS Manifest document. The root manifest element defines an entire IMS Package. A child manifest element defines a semantically complete subset of that Package.

Represents a binding of the kinds of objects defined as children of ims-cp-imManifest : Manifest.[ ManifestMetadata, Organizations, Resources, Manifest, Extension ].

 An instance of the metadata element contains data structures that declare descriptive information about a metadata element's parent only. One or more different metadata models may be declared as child extensions of a metadata element.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects defined for ims-cp-imMetadata: Metadata.[ Extension ].

 The organizations element is a container for all data structures that describe the way or ways that information encapsulated by its parent manifest element is structured.

Represents of binding of the child objects of ims-cp-imOrganizations: Organizations.[ Organization, Extension ].

 The Resources element is a container for data structures containing references to one or more assets. Asset references may be grouped within a containing resources element in whatever manner seems best. The scope of referenced assets is specific to a resources element's parent manifest element only.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects defined for ims-cp-imResources: Resources.[ Resource, Extension ].

 An organization element is a container for all data structures relating to a particular way or view that information encapsulated by a grandparent manifest object is structured. Multiple organization elements within the same parent organizations element are equivalent in purpose: Each shows a different way for structuring the same information declared within a grandparent manifest object.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects defined for ims-cp-Organization: Organization[ Title, Item, Metadata, Extension ].

 A resource element is a container for a particular asset or collection of assets. A resource may contain references to assets that are all of the same type or different types (i.e., file formats). The scope or boundary of an IMS Package is defined by the asset references collected into all resources containers associated with the root manifest element, whether as a child, direcdt descendant, or externally linked descendant.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects defined for ims-cp-imResource: Resource.[ Metadata, File, Dependency, Extension ].

 An item element represents a structural node in a particular organization. An item element may be a parent or sibling of other Item elements, each one representing a unique structural node. An organization has no meaning unless it has at least one Item element.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects of ims-cp-imItem: Item.[ Title, Item, Metadata, Extension ].

 A file element declares a reference to a single asset. The reference may be relative to the Package containing the file element or absolute (external to the Package). A file element may contain child extensions declaring alternative references to the same asset as that referenced by the file element's href attribute.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects defined for ims-cp-imFile: File.[ Metadata, Extension ].

 A dependency element provides a way to associate another collection of asset references within the scope of the dependency element's parent resource element. This element allows the parsimonious declaration of asset references. Shared asset references can be declared once and associated many times through a Dependency element.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects defined for ims-cp-imDependency: Dependency.[ Extension ].

 This metadata element contains data structures that declare descriptive information about an entire Package. One or more different metadata models may be declared as child extensions of a metadata element. The schema and schemaversion children define the kind or collection of metadata models being used.

Represents a binding of the kinds of child objects defined for ims-cp-imManifestMetadata: ManifestMetadata.[ Schema, SchemaVersion, MetadataModel ]..
