Abstract

XML Schema: Datatypes is part 2 of the specification of the XML Schema language. It defines facilities for defining datatypes to be used in XML Schemas as well as other XML specifications. The datatype language, which is itself represented in XML 1.0, provides a superset of the capabilities found in XML 1.0 document type definitions (DTDs) for specifying datatypes on elements and attributes.

1 Introduction

next sub-section1.1 Purpose

The [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] specification defines limited facilities for applying datatypes to document content in that documents may contain or refer to DTDs that assign types to elements and attributes. However, document authors, including authors of traditional documents and those transporting data in XML, often require a higher degree of type checking to ensure robustness in document understanding and data interchange.

The table below offers two typical examples of XML instances in which datatypes are implicit: the instance on the left represents a billing invoice, the instance on the right a memo or perhaps an email message in XML.

    mailto:paul.v.biron@kp.org</email>

  </body>
</memo>

The invoice contains several dates and telephone numbers, the postal abbreviation for a state (which comes from an enumerated list of sanctioned values), and a ZIP code (which takes a definable regular form). The memo contains many of the same types of information: a date, telephone number, email address and an "importance" value (from an enumerated list, such as "low", "medium" or "high"). Applications which process invoices and memos need to raise exceptions if something that was supposed to be a date or telephone number does not conform to the rules for valid dates or telephone numbers.

In both cases, validity constraints exist on the content of the instances that are not expressible in XML DTDs. The limited datatyping facilities in XML have prevented validating XML processors from supplying the rigorous type checking required in these situations. The result has been that individual applications writers have had to implement type checking in an ad hoc manner. This specification addresses the need of both document authors and applications writers for a robust, extensible datatype system for XML which could be incorporated into XML processors. As discussed below, these datatypes could be used in other XML-related standards as well.

previous sub-section next sub-section1.2 Requirements

The [XML Schema Requirements] document spells out concrete requirements to be fulfilled by this specification, which state that the XML Schema Language must:

  1. provide for primitive data typing, including byte, date, integer, sequence, SQL and Java primitive datatypes, etc.;
  2. define a type system that is adequate for import/export from database systems (e.g., relational, object, OLAP);
  3. distinguish requirements relating to lexical data representation vs. those governing an underlying information set;
  4. allow creation of user-defined datatypes, such as datatypes that are derived from existing datatypes and which may constrain certain of its properties (e.g., range, precision, length, format).

previous sub-section next sub-section1.3 Scope

This portion of the XML Schema Language discusses datatypes that can be used in an XML Schema. These datatypes can be specified for element content that would be specified as #PCDATA and attribute values of various types in a DTD. It is the intention of this specification that it be usable outside of the context of XML Schemas for a wide range of other XML-related activities such as [XSL] and [RDF Schema].

previous sub-section next sub-section1.4 Terminology

The terminology used to describe XML Schema Datatypes is defined in the body of this specification. The terms defined in the following list are used in building those definitions and in describing the actions of a datatype processor:

[Definition:]   for compatibility
A feature of this specification included solely to ensure that schemas which use this feature remain compatible with [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]
[Definition:]  may
Conforming documents and processors are permitted to but need not behave as described.
[Definition:]  match
(Of strings or names:) Two strings or names being compared must be identical. Characters with multiple possible representations in ISO/IEC 10646 (e.g. characters with both precomposed and base+diacritic forms) match only if they have the same representation in both strings. No case folding is performed. (Of strings and rules in the grammar:) A string matches a grammatical production if it belongs to the language generated by that production.
[Definition:]  must
Conforming documents and processors are required to behave as described; otherwise they are in ·error·.
[Definition:]  error
A violation of the rules of this specification; results are undefined. Conforming software ·may· detect and report an error and ·may· recover from it.

previous sub-section 1.5 Constraints and Contributions

This specification provides three different kinds of normative statements about schema components, their representations in XML and their contribution to the schema-validation of information items:

[Definition:]   Constraint on Schemas
Constraints on the schema components themselves, i.e. conditions components ·must· satisfy to be components at all. Largely to be found in Datatype components (§4).
[Definition:]   Schema Representation Constraint
Constraints on the representation of schema components in XML. Some but not all of these are expressed in Schema for Datatype Definitions (normative) (§A) and DTD for Datatype Definitions (non-normative) (§B).
[Definition:]   Validation Rule
Constraints expressed by schema components which information items ·must· satisfy to be schema-valid. Largely to be found in Datatype components (§4).

2 Type System

This section describes the conceptual framework behind the type system defined in this specification. The framework has been influenced by the [ISO 11404] standard on language-independent datatypes as well as the datatypes for [SQL] and for programming languages such as Java.

The datatypes discussed in this specification are computer representations of well known abstract concepts such as integer and date. It is not the place of this specification to define these abstract concepts; many other publications provide excellent definitions.

next sub-section2.1 Datatype

[Definition:]  In this specification, a datatype is a 3-tuple, consisting of a) a set of distinct values, called its ·value space·, b) a set of lexical representations, called its ·lexical space·, and c) a set of ·facet·s that characterize properties of the ·value space·, individual values or lexical items.

previous sub-section next sub-section2.2 Value space

[Definition:]  A value space is the set of values for a given datatype. Each value in the value space of a datatype is denoted by one or more literals in its ·lexical space·.

The ·value space· of a given datatype can be defined in one of the following ways:

·value space·s have certain properties. For example, they always have the property of ·cardinality·, some definition of equality and might be ·ordered·, by which individual values within the ·value space· can be compared to one another. The properties of ·value space·s that are recognized by this specification are defined in Fundamental facets (§2.4.1).

previous sub-section next sub-section2.3 Lexical space

In addition to its ·value space·, each datatype also has a lexical space.

[Definition:]  A lexical space is the set of valid literals for a datatype.

For example, "100" and "1.0E2" are two different literals from the ·lexical space· of float which both denote the same value. The type system defined in this specification provides a mechanism for schema designers to control the set of values and the corresponding set of acceptable literals of those values for a datatype.

NOTE: The literals in the ·lexical space·s defined in this specification have the following characteristics:
Interoperability:
The number of literals for each value has been kept small; for many datatypes there is a one-to-one mapping between literals and values. This makes it easy to exchange the values between different systems. In many cases, conversion from locale-dependent representations will be required on both the originator and the recipient side, both for computer processing and for interaction with humans.
Basic readability:
Textual, rather than binary, literals are used. This makes hand editing, debugging, and similar activities possible.
Ease of parsing and serializing:
Where possible, literals correspond to those found in common programming languages and libraries.

2.3.1 Canonical Lexical Representation

While the datatypes defined in this specification have, for the most part, a single lexical representation i.e. each value in the datatype's ·value space· is denoted by a single literal in its ·lexical space·, this is not always the case. The example in the previous section showed two literals for the datatype float which denote the same value. Similarly, there ·may· be several literals for one of the date or time datatypes that denote the same value using different timezone indicators.

[Definition:]  A canonical lexical representation is a set of literals from among the valid set of literals for a datatype such that there is a one-to-one mapping between literals in the canonical lexical representation and values in the ·value space·.

previous sub-section next sub-section2.4 Facets

[Definition:]  A facet is a single defining aspect of a ·value space·. Generally speaking, each facet characterizes a ·value space· along independent axes or dimensions.

The facets of a datatype serve to distinguish those aspects of one datatype which differ from other datatypes. Rather than being defined solely in terms of a prose description the datatypes in this specification are defined in terms of the synthesis of facet values which together determine the ·value space· and properties of the datatype.

Facets are of two types: fundamental facets that define the datatype and non-fundamental or constraining facets that constrain the permitted values of a datatype.

2.4.1 Fundamental facets

[Definition:]   A fundamental facet is an abstract property which serves to semantically characterize the values in a ·value space·.

All fundamental facets are fully described in Fundamental Facets (§4.2).

2.4.2 Constraining or Non-fundamental facets

[Definition:]  A constraining facet is an optional property that can be applied to a datatype to constrain its ·value space·.

Constraining the ·value space· consequently constrains the ·lexical space·. Adding ·constraining facet·s to a ·base type· is described in Derivation by restriction (§4.1.2.1).

All constraining facets are fully described in Constraining Facets (§4.3).

previous sub-section 2.5 Datatype dichotomies

It is useful to categorize the datatypes defined in this specification along various dimensions, forming a set of characterization dichotomies.

2.5.1 Atomic vs. list vs. union datatypes

The first distinction to be made is that between ·atomic·, ·list· and ·union· datatypes.

For example, a single token which ·match·es Nmtoken from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] could be the value of an ·atomic· datatype (NMTOKEN); while a sequence of such tokens could be the value of a ·list· datatype (NMTOKENS).

2.5.1.1 Atomic datatypes

·atomic· datatypes can be either ·primitive· or ·derived·. The ·value space· of an ·atomic· datatype is a set of "atomic" values, which for the purposes of this specification, are not further decomposable. The ·lexical space· of an ·atomic· datatype is a set of literals whose internal structure is specific to the datatype in question.

2.5.1.2 List datatypes

Several type systems (such as the one described in [ISO 11404]) treat ·list· datatypes as special cases of the more general notions of aggregate or collection datatypes.

·list· datatypes are always ·derived·. The ·value space· of a ·list· datatype is a set of finite-length sequences of ·atomic· values. The ·lexical space· of a ·list· datatype is a set of literals whose internal structure is a white space separated sequence of literals of the ·atomic· datatype of the items in the ·list· (where whitespace ·match·es S in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]).

[Definition:]   The ·atomic· datatype that participates in the definition of a ·list· datatype is known as the itemType of that ·list· datatype.

Example
<simpleType name='sizes'>
  <list itemType='decimal'/>
</simpleType>
<cerealSizes xsi:type='sizes'> 8 10.5 12 </cerealSizes>

A ·list· datatype can be ·derived· from an ·atomic· datatype whose ·lexical space· allows whitespace (such as string or anyURI). In such a case, regardless of the input, list items will be separated at whitespace boundaries.

Example
<simpleType name='listOfString'>
  <list itemType='string'/>
</simpleType>
<someElement xsi:type='listOfString'>
this is not list item 1
this is not list item 2
this is not list item 3
</someElement>
In the above example, the value of the someElement element is not a ·list· of ·length· 3; rather, it is a ·list· of ·length· 18.

When a datatype is ·derived· from a ·list· datatype, the following ·constraining facet·s apply:

For each of ·length·, ·maxLength· and ·minLength·, the unit of length is measured in number of list items. The value of ·whiteSpace· is fixed to the value collapse.

The canonical-lexical-representation for the ·list· datatype is defined as the lexical form in which each item in the ·list· has the canonical lexical representation of its ·itemType·.

2.5.1.3 Union datatypes

The ·value space· and ·lexical space· of a ·union· datatype are the union of the ·value space·s and ·lexical space·s of its ·memberTypes·. ·union· datatypes are always ·derived·. Currently, there are no ·built-in· ·union· datatypes.

Example
A prototypical example of a ·union· type is the maxOccurs attribute on the element element in XML Schema itself: it is a union of nonNegativeInteger and an enumeration with the single member, the string "unbounded", as shown below.
  <attributeGroup name="occurs">
    <attribute name="minOccurs" type="nonNegativeInteger"
    	default="1"/>
    <attribute name="maxOccurs">
      <simpleType>
        <union>
          <simpleType>
            <restriction base='nonNegativeInteger'/>
          </simpleType>
          <simpleType>
            <restriction base='string'>
              <enumeration value='unbounded'/>
            </restriction>
          </simpleType>
        </union>
      </simpleType>
    </attribute>
  </attributeGroup>

Any number (greater than 1) of ·atomic· or ·list· ·datatype·s can participate in a ·union· type.

[Definition:]   The datatypes that participate in the definition of a ·union· datatype are known as the memberTypes of that ·union· datatype.

The order in which the ·memberTypes· are specified in the definition (that is, the order of the <simpleType> children of the <union> element, or the order of the QNames in the memberTypes attribute) is significant. During validation, an element or attribute's value is validated against the ·memberTypes· in the order in which they appear in the definition until a match is found. The evaluation order can be overridden with the use of xsi:type.

Example
For example, given the definition below, the first instance of the <size> element validates correctly as an integer (§3.3.13), the second and third as string (§3.2.1).
  <xsd:element name='size'>
    <xsd:simpleType>
      <xsd:union>
        <xsd:simpleType>
          <xsd:restriction base='integer'/>
        </xsd:simpleType>
        <xsd:simpleType>
          <xsd:restriction base='string'/>
        </xsd:simpleType>
      </xsd:union>
    </xsd:simpleType>
  </xsd:element>
  <size>1</size>
  <size>large</size>
  <size xsi:type='xsd:string'>1</size>

The canonical-lexical-representation for a ·union· datatype is defined as the lexical form in which the values have the canonical lexical representation of the appropriate ·memberTypes·.

NOTE: A datatype which is ·atomic· in this specification need not be an "atomic" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Likewise, a datatype which is a ·list· in this specification need not be a "list" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Furthermore, a datatype which is a ·union· in this specification need not be a "union" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification.

2.5.2 Primitive vs. derived datatypes

Next, we distinguish between ·primitive· and ·derived· datatypes.

  • [Definition:]  Primitive datatypes are those that are not defined in terms of other datatypes; they exist ab initio.
  • [Definition:]  Derived datatypes are those that are defined in terms of other datatypes.

For example, in this specification, float is a well-defined mathematical concept that cannot be defined in terms of other datatypes, while a integer is a special case of the more general datatype decimal.

[Definition:]   There exists a conceptual datatype, whose name is anySimpleType, that is the simple version of the ur-type definition from [XML Schema Part 1: Structures]. anySimpleType can be considered as the ·base type· of all ·primitive· types. The ·value space· of anySimpleType can be considered to be the ·union· of the ·value space·s of all ·primitive· datatypes.

The datatypes defined by this specification fall into both the ·primitive· and ·derived· categories. It is felt that a judiciously chosen set of ·primitive· datatypes will serve the widest possible audience by providing a set of convenient datatypes that can be used as is, as well as providing a rich enough base from which the variety of datatypes needed by schema designers can be ·derived·.

In the example above, integer is ·derived· from decimal.

NOTE: A datatype which is ·primitive· in this specification need not be a "primitive" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Likewise, a datatype which is ·derived· in this specification need not be a "derived" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification.

As described in more detail in XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components (§4.1.2), each ·user-derived· datatype ·must· be defined in terms of another datatype in one of three ways: 1) by assigning ·constraining facet·s which serve to restrict the ·value space· of the ·user-derived· datatype to a subset of that of the ·base type·; 2) by creating a ·list· datatype whose ·value space· consists of finite-length sequences of values of its ·itemType·; or 3) by creating a ·union· datatype whose ·value space· consists of the union of the ·value space· its ·memberTypes·.

2.5.2.1 Derived by restriction

[Definition:]  A datatype is said to be ·derived· by restriction from another datatype when values for zero or more ·constraining facet·s are specified that serve to constrain its ·value space· and/or its ·lexical space· to a subset of those of its ·base type·.

[Definition:]  Every datatype that is ·derived· by restriction is defined in terms of an existing datatype, referred to as its base type. base types can be either ·primitive· or ·derived·.

2.5.2.2 Derived by list

A ·list· datatype can be ·derived· from another datatype (its ·itemType·) by creating a ·value space· that consists of a finite-length sequence of values of its ·itemType·.

2.5.2.3 Derived by union

One datatype can be ·derived· from one or more datatypes by ·union·ing their ·value space·s and, consequently, their ·lexical space·s.

2.5.3 Built-in vs. user-derived datatypes

Conceptually there is no difference between the ·built-in· ·derived· datatypes included in this specification and the ·user-derived· datatypes which will be created by individual schema designers. The ·built-in· ·derived· datatypes are those which are believed to be so common that if they were not defined in this specification many schema designers would end up "reinventing" them. Furthermore, including these ·derived· datatypes in this specification serves to demonstrate the mechanics and utility of the datatype generation facilities of this specification.

NOTE: A datatype which is ·built-in· in this specification need not be a "built-in" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Likewise, a datatype which is ·user-derived· in this specification need not be a "user-derived" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification.

Each built-in datatype in this specification (both ·primitive· and ·derived·) can be uniquely addressed via a URI Reference constructed as follows:

  1. the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
  2. the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype

For example, to address the int datatype, the URI is:

Additionally, each facet definition element can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:

  1. the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
  2. the fragment identifier is the name of the facet

For example, to address the maxInclusive facet, the URI is:

Additionally, each facet usage in a built-in datatype definition can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:

  1. the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
  2. the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype, followed by a period (".") followed by the name of the facet

For example, to address the usage of the maxInclusive facet in the definition of int, the URI is:

next sub-section3.1 Namespace considerations

The ·built-in· datatypes defined by this specification are designed to be used with the XML Schema definition language as well as other XML specifications. To facilitate usage within the XML Schema definition language, the ·built-in· datatypes in this specification have the namespace name:

To facilitate usage in specifications other than the XML Schema definition language, such as those that do not want to know anything about aspects of the XML Schema definition language other than the datatypes, each ·built-in· datatype is also defined in the namespace whose URI is:

This applies to both ·built-in· ·primitive· and ·built-in· ·derived· datatypes.

Each ·user-derived· datatype is also associated with a unique namespace. However, ·user-derived· datatypes do not come from the namespace defined by this specification; rather, they come from the namespace of the schema in which they are defined (see XML Representation of Schemas in [XML Schema Part 1: Structures]).

The ·primitive· datatypes defined by this specification are described below. For each datatype, the ·value space· and ·lexical space· are defined, ·constraining facet·s which apply to the datatype are listed and any datatypes ·derived· from this datatype are specified.

·primitive· datatypes can only be added by revisions to this specification.

3.2.1 string

[Definition:]  The string datatype represents character strings in XML. The ·value space· of string is the set of finite-length sequences of characters (as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]) that ·match· the Char production from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. A character is an atomic unit of communication; it is not further specified except to note that every character has a corresponding Universal Character Set code point, which is an integer.

NOTE: Many human languages have writing systems that require child elements for control of aspects such as bidirectional formating or ruby annotation (see [Ruby] and Section 8.2.4 Overriding the bidirectional algorithm: the BDO element of [HTML 4.01]). Thus, string, as a simple type that can contain only characters but not child elements, is often not suitable for representing text. In such situations, a complex type that allows mixed content should be considered. For more information, see Section 5.5 Any Element, Any Attribute of [XML Schema Language: Part 2 Primer].
NOTE: As noted in ordered, the fact that this specification does not specify an ·order-relation· for ·string· does not preclude other applications from treating strings as being ordered.
3.2.1.1 Constraining facets

string has the following ·constraining facets·:

3.2.1.2 Derived datatypes

The following ·built-in· datatypes are ·derived· from string:

3.2.2 boolean

[Definition:]  boolean has the ·value space· required to support the mathematical concept of binary-valued logic: {true, false}.

3.2.2.1 Lexical representation

An instance of a datatype that is defined as ·boolean· can have the following legal literals {true, false, 1, 0}.

3.2.2.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for boolean is the set of literals {true, false}.

3.2.2.3 Constraining facets

boolean has the following ·constraining facets·:

3.2.3 decimal

[Definition:]  decimal represents arbitrary precision decimal numbers. The ·value space· of decimal is the set of the values i × 10^-n, where i and n are integers such that n >= 0. The ·order-relation· on decimal is: x < y iff y - x is positive.

[Definition:]   The ·value space· of types derived from decimal with a value for ·totalDigits· of p is the set of values i × 10^-n, where n and i are integers such that p >= n >= 0 and the number of significant decimal digits in i is less than or equal to p.

[Definition:]   The ·value space· of types derived from decimal with a value for ·fractionDigits· of s is the set of values i × 10^-n, where i and n are integers such that 0 <= n <= s.

NOTE: All ·minimally conforming· processors ·must· support decimal numbers with a minimum of 18 decimal digits (i.e., with a ·totalDigits· of 18). However, ·minimally conforming· processors ·may· set an application-defined limit on the maximum number of decimal digits they are prepared to support, in which case that application-defined maximum number ·must· be clearly documented.
3.2.3.1 Lexical representation

decimal has a lexical representation consisting of a finite-length sequence of decimal digits (#x30-#x39) separated by a period as a decimal indicator. If ·totalDigits· is specified, the number of digits must be less than or equal to ·totalDigits·. If ·fractionDigits· is specified, the number of digits following the decimal point must be less than or equal to the ·fractionDigits·. An optional leading sign is allowed. If the sign is omitted, "+" is assumed. Leading and trailing zeroes are optional. If the fractional part is zero, the period and following zero(es) can be omitted. For example: -1.23, 12678967.543233, +100000.00, 210.

3.2.3.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for decimal is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.3.1). Specifically, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited. The decimal point is required. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: there must be at least one digit to the right and to the left of the decimal point which may be a zero.

3.2.3.4 Derived datatypes

The following ·built-in· datatypes are ·derived· from decimal:

3.2.4 float

[Definition:]  float corresponds to the IEEE single-precision 32-bit floating point type [IEEE 754-1985]. The basic ·value space· of float consists of the values m × 2^e, where m is an integer whose absolute value is less than 2^24, and e is an integer between -149 and 104, inclusive. In addition to the basic ·value space· described above, the ·value space· of float also contains the following special values: positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number. The ·order-relation· on float is: x < y iff y - x is positive. Positive zero is greater than negative zero. Not-a-number equals itself and is greater than all float values including positive infinity.

A literal in the ·lexical space· representing a decimal number d maps to the normalized value in the ·value space· of float that is closest to d in the sense defined by [Clinger, WD (1990)]; if d is exactly halfway between two such values then the even value is chosen.

3.2.4.1 Lexical representation

float values have a lexical representation consisting of a mantissa followed, optionally, by the character "E" or "e", followed by an exponent. The exponent ·must· be an integer. The mantissa must be a decimal number. The representations for exponent and mantissa must follow the lexical rules for integer and decimal. If the "E" or "e" and the following exponent are omitted, an exponent value of 0 is assumed.

The special values positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number have lexical representations 0, -0, INF, -INF and NaN, respectively.

For example, -1E4, 1267.43233E12, 12.78e-2, 12 and INF are all legal literals for float.

3.2.4.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for float is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.4.1). Specifically, the exponent must be indicated by "E". Leading zeroes and the preceding optional "+" sign are prohibited in the exponent. For the mantissa, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited and the decimal point is required. For the exponent, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: number representations must be normalized such that there is a single digit to the left of the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the decimal point.

3.2.5 double

[Definition:]  The double datatype corresponds to IEEE double-precision 64-bit floating point type [IEEE 754-1985]. The basic ·value space· of double consists of the values m × 2^e, where m is an integer whose absolute value is less than 2^53, and e is an integer between -1075 and 970, inclusive. In addition to the basic ·value space· described above, the ·value space· of double also contains the following special values: positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number. The ·order-relation· on double is: x < y iff y - x is positive. Positive zero is greater than negative zero. Not-a-number equals itself and is greater than all double values including positive infinity.

A literal in the ·lexical space· representing a decimal number d maps to the normalized value in the ·value space· of double that is closest to d; if d is exactly halfway between two such values then the even value is chosen. This is the best approximation of d ([Clinger, WD (1990)], [Gay, DM (1990)]), which is more accurate than the mapping required by [IEEE 754-1985].

3.2.5.1 Lexical representation

double values have a lexical representation consisting of a mantissa followed, optionally, by the character "E" or "e", followed by an exponent. The exponent ·must· be an integer. The mantissa must be a decimal number. The representations for exponent and mantissa must follow the lexical rules for integer and decimal. If the "E" or "e" and the following exponent are omitted, an exponent value of 0 is assumed.

The special values positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number have lexical representations 0, -0, INF, -INF and NaN, respectively.

For example, -1E4, 1267.43233E12, 12.78e-2, 12 and INF are all legal literals for double.

3.2.5.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for double is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.5.1). Specifically, the exponent must be indicated by "E". Leading zeroes and the preceding optional "+" sign are prohibited in the exponent. For the mantissa, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited and the decimal point is required. For the exponent, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: number representations must be normalized such that there is a single digit to the left of the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the decimal point.

3.2.6 duration

[Definition:]   duration represents a duration of time. The ·value space· of duration is a six-dimensional space where the coordinates designate the Gregorian year, month, day, hour, minute, and second components defined in § 5.5.3.2 of [ISO 8601], respectively. These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

3.2.6.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for duration is the [ISO 8601] extended format PnYn MnDTnH nMnS, where nY represents the number of years, nM the number of months, nD the number of days, 'T' is the date/time separator, nH the number of hours, nM the number of minutes and nS the number of seconds. The number of seconds can include decimal digits to arbitrary precision.

The values of the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minutes components are not restricted but allow an arbitrary integer. Similarly, the value of the Seconds component allows an arbitrary decimal. Thus, the lexical representation of duration does not follow the alternative format of § 5.5.3.2.1 of [ISO 8601].

An optional preceding minus sign ('-') is allowed, to indicate a negative duration. If the sign is omitted a positive duration is indicated. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

For example, to indicate a duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, 10 hours, and 30 minutes, one would write: P1Y2M3DT10H30M. One could also indicate a duration of minus 120 days as: -P120D.

Reduced precision and truncated representations of this format are allowed provided they conform to the following:

  • If the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes, or seconds in any expression equals zero, the number and its corresponding designator ·may· be omitted. However, at least one number and its designator ·must· be present.
  • The seconds part ·may· have a decimal fraction.
  • The designator 'T' shall be absent if all of the time items are absent. The designator 'P' must always be present.

For example, P1347Y, P1347M and P1Y2MT2H are all allowed; P0Y1347M and P0Y1347M0D are allowed. P-1347M is not allowed although -P1347M is allowed. P1Y2MT is not allowed.

3.2.6.2 Order relation on duration

In general, the ·order-relation· on duration is a partial order since there is no determinate relationship between certain durations such as one month (P1M) and 30 days (P30D). The ·order-relation· of two duration values x and y is x < y iff s+x < s+y for each qualified dateTime s in the list below. These values for s cause the greatest deviations in the addition of dateTimes and durations. Addition of durations to time instants is defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (§E).

  • 1696-09-01T00:00:00Z
  • 1697-02-01T00:00:00Z
  • 1903-03-01T00:00:00Z
  • 1903-07-01T00:00:00Z

The following table shows the strongest relationship that can be determined between example durations. The symbol <> means that the order relation is indeterminate. Note that because of leap-seconds, a seconds field can vary from 59 to 60. However, because of the way that addition is defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (§E), they are still totally ordered.

  Relation
P1Y > P364D <> P365D   <> P366D < P367D
P1M > P27D <> P28D <> P29D <> P30D <> P31D < P32D
P5M > P149D <> P150D <> P151D <> P152D <> P153D < P154D

Implementations are free to optimize the computation of the ordering relationship. For example, the following table can be used to compare durations of a small number of months against days.

  Months 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
Days Minimum 28 59 89 120 150 181 212 242 273 303 334 365 393 ...
Maximum 31 62 92 123 153 184 215 245 276 306 337 366 397 ...
3.2.6.3 Facet Comparison for durations

In comparing duration values with minInclusive, minExclusive, maxInclusive and maxExclusive facet values indeterminate comparisons should be considered as "false".

3.2.6.4 Totally ordered durations

Certain derived datatypes of durations can be guaranteed have a total order. For this, they must have fields from only one row in the list below and the time zone must either be required or prohibited.

  • year, month
  • day, hour, minute, second

For example, a datatype could be defined to correspond to the [SQL] datatype Year-Month interval that required a four digit year field and a two digit month field but required all other fields to be unspecified. This datatype could be defined as below and would have a total order.

<simpleType name='SQL-Year-Month-Interval'>
    <restriction base='duration'>
      <pattern value='P\p{Nd}{4}Y\p{Nd}{2}M'/>
    </restriction>
</simpleType>

3.2.7 dateTime

[Definition:]   dateTime represents a specific instant of time. The ·value space· of dateTime is the space of Combinations of date and time of day values as defined in § 5.4 of [ISO 8601].

3.2.7.1 Lexical representation

A single lexical representation, which is a subset of the lexical representations allowed by [ISO 8601], is allowed for dateTime. This lexical representation is the [ISO 8601] extended format CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss where "CC" represents the century, "YY" the year, "MM" the month and "DD" the day, preceded by an optional leading "-" sign to indicate a negative number. If the sign is omitted, "+" is assumed. The letter "T" is the date/time separator and "hh", "mm", "ss" represent hour, minute and second respectively. Additional digits can be used to increase the precision of fractional seconds if desired i.e the format ss.ss... with any number of digits after the decimal point is supported. The fractional seconds part is optional; other parts of the lexical form are not optional. To accommodate year values greater than 9999 additional digits can be added to the left of this representation. Leading zeros are required if the year value would otherwise have fewer than four digits; otherwise they are forbidden. The year 0000 is prohibited.

The CCYY field must have at least four digits, the MM, DD, SS, hh, mm and ss fields exactly two digits each (not counting fractional seconds); leading zeroes must be used if the field would otherwise have too few digits.

This representation may be immediately followed by a "Z" to indicate Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or, to indicate the time zone, i.e. the difference between the local time and Coordinated Universal Time, immediately followed by a sign, + or -, followed by the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm (note: the minutes part is required). See ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D) for details about legal values in the various fields. If the time zone is included, both hours and minutes must be present.

For example, to indicate 1:20 pm on May the 31st, 1999 for Eastern Standard Time which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), one would write: 1999-05-31T13:20:00-05:00.

3.2.7.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for dateTime is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.7.1). Specifically, either the time zone must be omitted or, if present, the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) indicated by a "Z".

3.2.7.3 Order relation on dateTime

In general, the ·order-relation· on dateTime is a partial order since there is no determinate relationship between certain instants. For example, there is no determinate ordering between (a) 2000-01-20T12:00:00 and (b) 2000-01-20T12:00:00Z. Based on timezones currently in use, (c) could vary from 2000-01-20T12:00:00+12:00 to 2000-01-20T12:00:00-13:00. It is, however, possible for this range to expand or contract in the future, based on local laws. Because of this, the following definition uses a somewhat broader range of indeterminate values: +14:00..-14:00.

The following definition uses the notation S[year] to represent the year field of S, S[month] to represent the month field, and so on. The notation (Q & "-14:00") means adding the timezone -14:00 to Q, where Q did not already have a timezone. This is a logical explanation of the process. Actual implementations are free to optimize as long as they produce the same results.

The ordering between two dateTimes P and Q is defined by the following algorithm:

A.Normalize P and Q. That is, if there is a timezone present, but it is not Z, convert it to Z using the addition operation defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (§E)

  • Thus 2000-03-04T23:00:00+03:00 normalizes to 2000-03-04T20:00:00Z

B. If P and Q either both have a time zone or both do not have a time zone, compare P and Q field by field from the year field down to the second field, and return a result as soon as it can be determined. That is:

  1. For each i in {year, month, day, hour, minute, second}
    1. If P[i] and Q[i] are both not specified, continue to the next i
    2. If P[i] is not specified and Q[i] is, or vice versa, stop and return P <> Q
    3. If P[i] < Q[i], stop and return P < Q
    4. If P[i] > Q[i], stop and return P > Q
  2. Stop and return P = Q

C.Otherwise, if P contains a time zone and Q does not, compare as follows:

  1. P < Q if P < (Q with time zone +14:00)
  2. P > Q if P > (Q with time zone -14:00)
  3. P <> Q otherwise, that is, if (Q with time zone +14:00) < P < (Q with time zone -14:00)

D. Otherwise, if P does not contain a time zone and Q does, compare as follows:

  1. P < Q if (P with time zone -14:00) < Q.
  2. P > Q if (P with time zone +14:00) > Q.
  3. P <> Q otherwise, that is, if (P with time zone +14:00) < Q < (P with time zone -14:00)

Examples:

Determinate Indeterminate
2000-01-15T00:00:00 < 2000-02-15T00:00:00 2000-01-01T12:00:00 <> 1999-12-31T23:00:00Z
2000-01-15T12:00:00 < 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z 2000-01-16T12:00:00 <> 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z
  2000-01-16T00:00:00 <> 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z
3.2.7.4 Totally ordered dateTimes

Certain derived types from dateTime can be guaranteed have a total order. To do so, they must require that a specific set of fields are always specified, and that remaining fields (if any) are always unspecified. For example, the date datatype without time zone is defined to contain exactly year, month, and day. Thus dates without time zone have a total order among themselves.

3.2.8 time

[Definition:]  time represents an instant of time that recurs every day. The ·value space· of time is the space of time of day values as defined in § 5.3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of zero-duration daily time instances.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, time values are partially ordered because it may not be able to determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. The order relation on time values is the Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3) using an arbitrary date. See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of time values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

3.2.8.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for time is the left truncated lexical representation for dateTime: hh:mm:ss.sss with optional following time zone indicator. For example, to indicate 1:20 pm for Eastern Standard Time which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), one would write: 13:20:00-05:00. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

3.2.8.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for time is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.8.1). Specifically, either the time zone must be omitted or, if present, the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) indicated by a "Z". Additionally, the canonical representation for midnight is 00:00:00.

3.2.9 date

[Definition:]  date represents a calendar date. The ·value space· of date is the set of Gregorian calendar dates as defined in § 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, non-periodic instances e.g. lexical 1999-10-26 to represent the calendar date 1999-10-26, independent of how many hours this day has.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, date values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If date values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on date values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of date values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

3.2.9.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for date is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY-MM-DD. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for dateTime. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.

For example, to indicate May the 31st, 1999, one would write: 1999-05-31. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

3.2.10 gYearMonth

[Definition:]   gYearMonth represents a specific gregorian month in a specific gregorian year. The ·value space· of gYearMonth is the set of Gregorian calendar months as defined in § 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-month long, non-periodic instances e.g. 1999-10 to represent the whole month of 1999-10, independent of how many days this month has.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gYearMonth values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gYearMonth values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gYearMonth values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gYearMonth values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

NOTE: Because month/year combinations in one calendar only rarely correspond to month/year combinations in other calendars, values of this type are not, in general, convertible to simple values corresponding to month/year combinations in other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
3.2.10.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for gYearMonth is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY-MM. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.

For example, to indicate the month of May 1999, one would write: 1999-05. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

3.2.10.2 Constraining facets

gYearMonth has the following ·constraining facets·:

3.2.11 gYear

[Definition:]   gYear represents a gregorian calendar year. The ·value space· of gYear is the set of Gregorian calendar years as defined in § 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-year long, non-periodic instances e.g. lexical 1999 to represent the whole year 1999, independent of how many months and days this year has.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gYear values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gYear values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gYear values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gYear values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

NOTE: Because years in one calendar only rarely correspond to years in other calendars, values of this type are not, in general, convertible to simple values corresponding to years in other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
3.2.11.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for gYear is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for dateTime. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.

For example, to indicate 1999, one would write: 1999. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

3.2.12 gMonthDay

[Definition:]   gMonthDay is a gregorian date that recurs, specifically a day of the year such as the third of May. Arbitrary recurring dates are not supported by this datatype. The ·value space· of gMonthDay is the set of calendar dates, as defined in § 3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, annually periodic instances.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gMonthDay values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gMonthDay values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gMonthDay values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gMonthDay values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

NOTE: Because day/month combinations in one calendar only rarely correspond to day/month combinations in other calendars, values of this type do not, in general, have any straightforward or intuitive representation in terms of most other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
3.2.12.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for gMonthDay is the left truncated lexical representation for date: --MM-DD. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

This datatype can be used to represent a specific day in a month. To say, for example, that my birthday occurs on the 14th of September ever year.

3.2.12.2 Constraining facets

gMonthDay has the following ·constraining facets·:

3.2.13 gDay

[Definition:]   gDay is a gregorian day that recurs, specifically a day of the month such as the 5th of the month. Arbitrary recurring days are not supported by this datatype. The ·value space· of gDay is the space of a set of calendar dates as defined in § 3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, monthly periodic instances.

This datatype can be used to represent a specific day of the month. To say, for example, that I get my paycheck on the 15th of each month.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gDay values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gDay values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gDay values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gDay values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

NOTE: Because days in one calendar only rarely correspond to days in other calendars, values of this type do not, in general, have any straightforward or intuitive representation in terms of most other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
3.2.13.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for gDay is the left truncated lexical representation for date: ---DD . An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

3.2.14 gMonth

[Definition:]   gMonth is a gregorian month that recurs every year. The ·value space· of gMonth is the space of a set of calendar months as defined in § 3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-month long, yearly periodic instances.

This datatype can be used to represent a specific month. To say, for example, that Thanksgiving falls in the month of November.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gMonth values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gMonth values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gMonth is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3).

NOTE: Because months in one calendar only rarely correspond to months in other calendars, values of this type do not, in general, have any straightforward or intuitive representation in terms of most other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
3.2.14.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for gMonth is the left and right truncated lexical representation for date: --MM--. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

3.2.15 hexBinary

[Definition:]   hexBinary represents arbitrary hex-encoded binary data. The ·value space· of hexBinary is the set of finite-length sequences of binary octets.

3.2.15.1 Lexical Representation

hexBinary has a lexical representation where each binary octet is encoded as a character tuple, consisting of two hexadecimal digits ([0-9a-fA-F]) representing the octet code. For example, "0FB7" is a hex encoding for the 16-bit integer 4023 (whose binary representation is 111110110111).

3.2.15.2 Canonical Rrepresentation

The canonical representation for hexBinary is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical Representation (§3.2.15.1). Specifically, the lower case hexadecimal digits ([a-f]) are not allowed.

3.2.15.3 Constraining facets

hexBinary has the following ·constraining facets·:

3.2.16 base64Binary

[Definition:]   base64Binary represents Base64-encoded arbitrary binary data. The ·value space· of base64Binary is the set of finite-length sequences of binary octets. For base64Binary data the entire binary stream is encoded using the Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding defined in Section 6.8 of [RFC 2045].

3.2.16.1 Constraining facets

base64Binary has the following ·constraining facets·:

3.2.17 anyURI

[Definition:]   anyURI represents a Uniform Resource Identifier Reference (URI). An anyURI value can be absolute or relative, and may have an optional fragment identifier (i.e., it may be a URI Reference). This type should be used to specify the intention that the value fulfills the role of a URI as defined by [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732].

The mapping from anyURI values to URIs is as defined in Section 5.4 Locator Attribute of [XML Linking Language] (see also Section 8 Character Encoding in URI References of [Character Model]). This means that a wide range of internationalized resource identifiers can be specified when an anyURI is called for, and still be understood as URIs per [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732], where appropriate to identify resources.

NOTE: Each URI scheme imposes specialized syntax rules for URIs in that scheme, including restrictions on the syntax of allowed fragement identifiers. Because it is impractical for processors to check that a value is a context-appropriate URI reference, this specification follows the lead of [RFC 2396] (as amended by [RFC 2732]) in this matter: such rules and restrictions are not part of type validity and are not checked by ·minimally conforming· processors. Thus in practice the above definition imposes only very modest obligations on ·minimally conforming· processors.
3.2.17.1 Lexical representation

The ·lexical space· of anyURI is finite-length character sequences which, when the algorithm defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language] is applied to them, result in strings which are legal URIs according to [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732].

NOTE: Spaces are, in principle, allowed in the ·lexical space· of anyURI, however, their use is highly discouraged (unless they are encoded by %20).
3.2.17.2 Constraining facets

4 Datatype components

The following sections provide full details on the properties and significance of each kind of schema component involved in datatype definitions. For each property, the kinds of values it is allowed to have is specified. Any property not identified as optional is required to be present; optional properties which are not present have absent as their value. Any property identified as a having a set, subset or ·list· value may have an empty value unless this is explicitly ruled out: this is not the same as absent. Any property value identified as a superset or a subset of some set may be equal to that set, unless a proper superset or subset is explicitly called for.

For more information on the notion of datatype (schema) components, see Schema Component Details of [XML Schema Part 1: Structures].

next sub-section4.1 Simple Type Definition

Simple Type definitions provide for:

4.1.1 The Simple Type Definition Schema Component

The Simple Type Definition schema component has the following properties:

Schema ComponentSimple Type Definition
{name}
Optional. An NCName as defined by [Namespaces in XML].
{target namespace}
Either absent or a namespace name, as defined in [Namespaces in XML].
{variety}
One of {atomic, list, union}. Depending on the value of {variety}, further properties are defined as follows:
atomic
{primitive type definition}
A ·built-in· ·primitive· datatype definition (or the simple ur-type definition).
list
{item type definition}
An ·atomic· or ·union· simple type definition.
union
{member type definitions}
A non-empty sequence of simple type definitions.
{facets}
A possibly empty set of Facets (§2.4).
{fundamental facets}
A set of Fundamental facets (§2.4.1)
{base type definition}
If the datatype has been ·derived· by ·restriction· then the Simple Type Definition component from which it is ·derived·, otherwise the Simple Type Definition for anySimpleType (§4.1.6).
{final}
A subset of {restriction, list, union}.
{annotation}
Optional. An annotation.

Datatypes are identified by their {name} and {target namespace}. Except for anonymous datatypes (those with no {name}), datatype definitions ·must· be uniquely identified within a schema.

If {variety} is ·atomic· then the ·value space· of the datatype defined will be a subset of the ·value space· of {base type definition} (which is a subset of the ·value space· of {primitive type definition}). If {variety} is ·list· then the ·value space· of the datatype defined will be the set of finite-length sequence of values from the ·value space· of {item type definition}. If {variety} is ·union· then the ·value space· of the datatype defined will be the union of the ·value space·s of each datatype in {member type definitions}.

If {variety} is ·atomic· then the {variety} of {base type definition} must be ·atomic·. If {variety} is ·list· then the {variety} of {item type definition} must be either ·atomic· or ·union·. If {variety} is ·union· then {member type definitions} must be a list of datatype definitions.

The value of {facets} consists of the set of ·facet·s specified directly in the datatype definition unioned with the possibly empty set of {facets} of {base type definition}.

The value of {fundamental facets} consists of the set of ·fundamental facet·s and their values.

If {final} is the empty set then the type can be used in deriving other types; the explicit values restriction, list and union prevent further derivations by ·restriction·, ·list· and ·union· respectively.

4.1.2 XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components

The XML representation for a Simple Type Definition schema component is a <simpleType> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation SummarysimpleType Element Information Item

<simpleType
  final = (#all | (list | union | restriction))
  id = ID
  name = NCName
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (restriction | list | union))
</simpleType>

Datatype Definition Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{name} The actual value of the name   [attribute], if present, otherwise null
{final} A set corresponding to the actual value of the final   [attribute], if present, otherwise of the actual value of the finalDefault   [attribute] the ancestor schema element information item, if present, otherwise the empty string, as follows:
the empty string
the empty set;
#all
{restriction, list, union};
otherwise
a set with members drawn from the set above, each being present or absent depending on whether the string contains an equivalently named space-delimited substring.
NOTE: Although the finalDefault   [attribute] of schema may include values other than restriction, list or union, those values are ignored in the determination of {final}
{target namespace} The actual value of the targetNamespace   [attribute] of the parent schema element information item.
{annotation} The annotation corresponding to the <annotation> element information item in the  [children], if present, otherwise null

A ·derived· datatype can be ·derived· from a ·primitive· datatype or another ·derived· datatype by one of three means: by restriction, by list or by union.

4.1.2.1 Derivation by restriction
XML Representation Summaryrestriction Element Information Item

<restriction
  base = QName
  id = ID
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (simpleType?, (minExclusive | minInclusive | maxExclusive | maxInclusive | totalDigits | fractionDigits | length | minLength | maxLength | enumeration | whiteSpace | pattern)*))
</restriction>

Simple Type Definition Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{variety} The actual value of {variety} of {base type definition}
{facets} The union of the set of Facets (§2.4) components resolved to by the facet  [children] merged with {facets} from {base type definition}, subject to the Facet Restriction Valid constraints specified in Facets (§2.4).
{base type definition} The Simple Type Definition component resolved to by the actual value of the base   [attribute] or the <simpleType>  [children], whichever is present.
Example
An electronic commerce schema might define a datatype called Sku (the barcode number that appears on products) from the ·built-in· datatype string by supplying a value for the ·pattern· facet.
<simpleType name='Sku'>
    <restriction base='string'>
      <pattern value='\d{3}-[A-Z]{2}'/>
    </restriction>
</simpleType>
In this case, Sku is the name of the new ·user-derived· datatype, string is its ·base type· and ·pattern· is the facet.
4.1.2.2 Derivation by list
XML Representation Summarylist Element Information Item

<list
  id = ID
  itemType = QName
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (simpleType?))
</list>

Simple Type Definition Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{variety} list
{item type definition} The Simple Type Definition component resolved to by the actual value of the itemType   [attribute] or the <simpleType>  [children], whichever is present.

A ·list· datatype must be ·derived· from an ·atomic· or a ·union· datatype, known as the ·itemType· of the ·list· datatype. This yields a datatype whose ·value space· is composed of finite-length sequences of values from the ·value space· of the ·itemType· and whose ·lexical space· is composed of white space separated lists of literals of the ·itemType·.

Example
A system might want to store lists of floating point values.
<simpleType name='listOfFloat'>
  <list itemType='float'/>
</simpleType>
In this case, listOfFloat is the name of the new ·user-derived· datatype, float is its ·itemType· and ·list· is the derivation method.

As mentioned in List datatypes (§2.5.1.2), when a datatype is ·derived· from a ·list· datatype, the following ·constraining facet·s can be used:

regardless of the ·constraining facet·s that are applicable to the ·atomic· datatype that serves as the ·itemType· of the ·list·.

For each of ·length·, ·maxLength· and ·minLength·, the unit of length is measured in number of list items. The value of ·whiteSpace· is fixed to the value collapse.

4.1.2.3 Derivation by union
XML Representation Summaryunion Element Information Item

<union
  id = ID
  memberTypes = List of QName
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (simpleType*))
</union>

Simple Type Definition Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{variety} union
{member type definitions} The sequence of Simple Type Definition components resolved to by the items in the actual value of the memberTypes   [attribute], if any, in order, followed by the Simple Type Definition components resolved to by the <simpleType>  [children], if any, in order. If {variety} is union for any Simple Type Definition components resolved to above, then the that Simple Type Definition is replaced by its {member type definitions}.

A ·union· datatype can be ·derived· from one or more ·atomic·, ·list· or other ·union· datatypes, known as the ·memberTypes· of that ·union· datatype.

Example
As an example, taken from a typical display oriented text markup language, one might want to express font sizes as an integer between 8 and 72, or with one of the tokens "small", "medium" or "large". The ·union· type definition below would accomplish that.
<xsd:attribute name="size">
  <xsd:simpleType>
    <xsd:union>
      <xsd:simpleType>

As mentioned in Union datatypes (§2.5.1.3), when a datatype is ·derived· from a ·union· datatype, the only following ·constraining facet·s can be used:

regardless of the ·constraining facet·s that are applicable to the datatypes that participate in the ·union·

4.1.3 Constraints on XML Representation of Simple Type Definition

Schema Representation Constraint: Single Facet Value
Unless otherwise specifically allowed by this specification (Multiple patterns (§4.3.4.3) and Multiple enumerations (§4.3.5.3)) any given ·constraining facet· can only be specifed once within a single derivation step.
Schema Representation Constraint: itemType attribute or simpleType child
Either the itemType   [attribute] or the <simpleType>  [child] of the <list> element must be present, but not both.
Schema Representation Constraint: base attribute or simpleType child
Either the base   [attribute] or the simpleType  [child] of the <restriction> element must be present, but not both.
Schema Representation Constraint: memberTypes attribute or simpleType children
Either the memberTypes   [attribute] of the <union> element must be non-empty or there must be at least one simpleType  [child].

4.1.4 Simple Type Definition Validation Rules

Validation Rule: Facet Valid
A value in a ·value space· is facet-valid with respect to a ·constraining facet· component if:
1 the value is facet-valid with respect to the particular ·constraining facet· as specified below.
Validation Rule: Datatype Valid
A string is datatype-valid with respect to a datatype definition if:
1 it ·match·es a literal in the ·lexical space· of the datatype, determined as follows:
1.1 if ·pattern· is a member of {facets}, then the string must be pattern valid (§4.3.4.4);
1.2 if ·pattern· is not a member of {facets}, then
1.2.1 if {variety} is ·atomic· then the string must ·match· a literal in the ·lexical space· of {base type definition}
1.2.2 if {variety} is ·list· then the string must be a sequence of white space separated tokens, each of which ·match·es a literal in the ·lexical space· of {item type definition}
1.2.3 if {variety} is ·union· then the string must ·match· a literal in the ·lexical space· of at least one member of {member type definitions}
2 the value denoted by the literal ·match·ed in the previous step is a member of the ·value space· of the datatype, as determined by it being Facet Valid (§4.1.4) with respect to each member of {facets} (except for ·pattern·).

4.1.5 Constraints on Simple Type Definition Schema Components

Schema Component Constraint: applicable facets
The ·constraining facet·s which are allowed to be members of {facets} are dependent on {base type definition} as specified in the following table:

4.1.6 Simple Type Definition for anySimpleType

There is a simple type definition nearly equivalent to the simple version of the ur-type definition present in every schema by definition. It has the following properties:

previous sub-section next sub-section4.2 Fundamental Facets

4.2.1 equal
4.2.2 ordered
4.2.3 bounded
4.2.5 numeric

4.2.1 equal

Every ·value space· supports the notion of equality, with the following rules:

  • for any a and b in the ·value space·, either a is equal to b, denoted a = b, or a is not equal to b, denoted a != b
  • there is no pair a and b from the ·value space· such that both a = b and a != b
  • for all a in the ·value space·, a = a
  • for any a and b in the ·value space·, a = b if and only if b = a
  • for any a, b and c in the ·value space·, if a = b and b = c, then a = c
  • for any a and b in the ·value space· if a = b, then a and b cannot be distinguished (i.e., equality is identity)

Note that a consequence of the above is that, given ·value space·  A and ·value space·  B where A and B are not related by ·restriction· or ·union·, for every pair of values a from A and b from B, a != b.

On every datatype, the operation Equal is defined in terms of the equality property of the ·value space·: for any values a, b drawn from the ·value space·, Equal(a,b) is true if a = b, and false otherwise.

NOTE: There is no schema component corresponding to the equal ·fundamental facet·.

4.2.2 ordered

[Definition:]  An order relation on a ·value space· is a mathematical relation that imposes a ·total order· or a ·partial order· on the members of the ·value space·.

[Definition:]  A ·value space·, and hence a datatype, is said to be ordered if there exists an ·order-relation· defined for that ·value space·.

[Definition:]   A partial order is an ·order-relation· that is irreflexive, asymmetric and transitive.

A ·partial order· has the following properties:

The notation a <> b is used to indicate the case when a != b and neither a < b nor b < a

[Definition:]   A total order is an ·partial order· such that for no a and b is it the case that a <> b.

A ·total order· has all of the properties specified above for ·partial order·, plus the following property:

NOTE: The fact that this specification does not define an ·order-relation· for some datatype does not mean that some other application cannot treat that datatype as being ordered by imposing its own order relation.

·ordered· provides for:

4.2.2.1 The ordered Schema Component
Schema Componentordered
{value}
One of {false, partial, total}.

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a ·ordered· component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is ·atomic·, {value} is inherited from {value} of {base type definition}. For all ·primitive· types {value} is as specified in the table in Fundamental Facets (§C.1).

When {variety} is ·list·, {value} is false.

When {variety} is ·union·, if {value} is true for every member of {member type definitions} and all members of {member type definitions} share a common ancestor, then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

4.2.3 bounded

[Definition:]   A value u in an ·ordered·  ·value space· U is said to be an inclusive upper bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u >= v.

[Definition:]   A value u in an ·ordered·  ·value space· U is said to be an exclusive upper bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u > v.

[Definition:]   A value l in an ·ordered·  ·value space· L is said to be an inclusive lower bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l <= v.

[Definition:]   A value l in an ·ordered·  ·value space· L is said to be an exclusive lower bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l < v.

[Definition:]  A datatype is bounded if its ·value space· has either an ·inclusive upper bound· or an ·exclusive upper bound· and either an ·inclusive lower bound· and an ·exclusive lower bound·.

·bounded· provides for:

4.2.3.1 The bounded Schema Component
Schema Componentbounded

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a ·bounded· component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is ·atomic·, if one of ·minInclusive· or ·minExclusive· and one of ·maxInclusive· or ·maxExclusive· are among {facets} , then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

When {variety} is ·list·, if ·length· or both of ·minLength· and ·maxLength· are among {facets}, then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

When {variety} is ·union·, if {value} is true for every member of {member type definitions} and all members of {member type definitions} share a common ancestor, then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

4.2.4 cardinality

[Definition:]  Every ·value space· has associated with it the concept of cardinality. Some ·value space·s are finite, some are countably infinite while still others could conceivably be uncountably infinite (although no ·value space· defined by this specification is uncountable infinite). A datatype is said to have the cardinality of its ·value space·.

It is sometimes useful to categorize ·value space·s (and hence, datatypes) as to their cardinality. There are two significant cases:

·cardinality· provides for:

4.2.4.1 The cardinality Schema Component
Schema Componentcardinality
{value}
One of {finite, countably infinite}.

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a ·cardinality· component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is ·atomic· and {value} of {base type definition} is finite, then {value} is finite.

When {variety} is ·atomic· and {value} of {base type definition} is countably infinite and either of the following conditions are true, then {value} is finite; else {value} is countably infinite:

  1. one of ·length·, ·maxLength·, ·totalDigits· is among {facets},
  2. all of the following are true:
    1. one of ·minInclusive· or ·minExclusive· is among {facets}
    2. one of ·maxInclusive· or ·maxExclusive· is among {facets}
    3. either of the following are true:
      1. ·fractionDigits· is among {facets}
      2. {base type definition} is one of date, gYearMonth, gYear, gMonthDay, gDay or gMonth or any type ·derived· from them

When {variety} is ·list·, if ·length· or both of ·minLength· and ·maxLength· are among {facets}, then {value} is finite; else {value} is countably infinite.

When {variety} is ·union·, if {value} is finite for every member of {member type definitions}, then {value} is finite; else {value} is countably infinite.

4.2.5 numeric

[Definition:]  A datatype is said to be numeric if its values are conceptually quantities (in some mathematical number system).

[Definition:]  A datatype whose values are not ·numeric· is said to be non-numeric.

·numeric· provides for:

4.2.5.1 The numeric Schema Component
Schema Componentnumeric

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets}, {base type definition} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a ·cardinality· component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is ·atomic·, {value} is inherited from {value} of {base type definition}. For all ·primitive· types {value} is as specified in the table in Fundamental Facets (§C.1).

When {variety} is ·list·, {value} is false.

When {variety} is ·union·, if {value} is true for every member of {member type definitions}, then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

4.3.3 maxLength

4.3.6 whiteSpace
4.3.10 minInclusive

4.3.1 length

[Definition:]   length is the number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being ·derived· from. The value of length ·must· be a nonNegativeInteger.

For string and datatypes ·derived· from string, length is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For anyURI, length is measured in units of characters (as for string). For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes ·derived· from them, length is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes ·derived· by ·list·, length is measured in number of list items.

NOTE: For string and datatypes ·derived· from string, length will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for length and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for length.

·length· provides for:

Example
The following is the definition of a ·user-derived· datatype to represent product codes which must be exactly 8 characters in length. By fixing the value of the length facet we ensure that types derived from productCode can change or set the values of other facets, such as pattern, but cannot change the length.
<simpleType name='productCode'>
   <restriction base='string'>
     <length value='8' fixed='true'/>
   </restriction>
</simpleType>
4.3.1.1 The length Schema Component
Schema Componentlength

If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} cannot specify a value for length other than {value}.

4.3.1.2 XML Representation of length Schema Components

The XML representation for a length schema component is a <length> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summarylength Element Information Item

<length
  fixed = boolean : false
  id = ID
  value = nonNegativeInteger
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</length>

length Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{value} The actual value of the value   [attribute]
{fixed} The actual value of the fixed   [attribute], if present, otherwise false
{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.
4.3.1.3 length Validation Rules
Validation Rule: Length Valid
A value in a ·value space· is facet-valid with respect to ·length·, determined as follows:
1 if the {variety} is ·atomic· then
1.1 if {primitive type definition} is string, then the length of the value, as measured in characters ·must· be equal to {value};
1.2 if {primitive type definition} is hexBinary or base64Binary, then the length of the value, as measured in octets of the binary data, ·must· be equal to {value};
2 if the {variety} is ·list·, then the length of the value, as measured in list items, ·must· be equal to {value}
4.3.1.4 Constraints on length Schema Components
Schema Component Constraint: length and minLength or maxLength
It is an ·error· for both length and either of minLength or maxLength to be members of {facets}.
Schema Component Constraint: length valid restriction
It is an ·error· if length is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is not equal to the {value} of the parent length.

4.3.2 minLength

[Definition:]   minLength is the minimum number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being ·derived· from. The value of minLength  ·must· be a nonNegativeInteger.

For string and datatypes ·derived· from string, minLength is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes ·derived· from them, minLength is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes ·derived· by ·list·, minLength is measured in number of list items.

NOTE: For string and datatypes ·derived· from string, minLength will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for minLength and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for minLength.

·minLength· provides for:

Example
The following is the definition of a ·user-derived· datatype which requires strings to have at least one character (i.e., the empty string is not in the ·value space· of this datatype).
<simpleType name='non-empty-string'>
  <restriction base='string'>
    <minLength value='1'/>
  </restriction>
</simpleType>
4.3.2.1 The minLength Schema Component
Schema ComponentminLength

If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} cannot specify a value for minLength other than {value}.

4.3.2.2 XML Representation of minLength Schema Component

The XML representation for a minLength schema component is a <minLength> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation SummaryminLength Element Information Item

<minLength
  fixed = boolean : false
  id = ID
  value = nonNegativeInteger
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)

PropertyRepresentation
{value} The actual value of the value   [attribute]
{fixed} The actual value of the fixed   [attribute], if present, otherwise false

4.3.2.3 minLength Validation Rules
Validation Rule: minLength Valid
A value in a ·value space· is facet-valid with respect to ·minLength·, determined as follows:
1 if the {variety} is ·atomic· then
1.1 if {primitive type definition} is string, then the length of the value, as measured in characters ·must· be greater than or equal to {value};
1.2 if {primitive type definition} is hexBinary or base64Binary, then the length of the value, as measured in octets of the binary data, ·must· be greater than or equal to {value};
2 if the {variety} is ·list·, then the length of the value, as measured in list items, ·must· be greater than or equal to {value}
4.3.2.4 Constraints on minLength Schema Components
Schema Component Constraint: minLength <= maxLength
If both minLength and maxLength are members of {facets}, then the {value} of minLength  ·must· be less than or equal to the {value} of maxLength.
Schema Component Constraint: minLength valid restriction
It is an ·error· if minLength is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is less than the {value} of the parent minLength.

4.3.3 maxLength

[Definition:]   maxLength is the maximum number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being ·derived· from. The value of maxLength  ·must· be a nonNegativeInteger.

For string and datatypes ·derived· from string, maxLength is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes ·derived· from them, maxLength is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes ·derived· by ·list·, maxLength is measured in number of list items.

NOTE: For string and datatypes ·derived· from string, maxLength will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for maxLength and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for maxLength.

·maxLength· provides for:

Example
The following is the definition of a ·user-derived· datatype which might be used to accept form input with an upper limit to the number of characters that are acceptable.
<simpleType name='form-input'>
  <restriction base='string'>
    <maxLength value='50'/>
  </restriction>
</simpleType>
4.3.3.1 The maxLength Schema Component
Schema ComponentmaxLength

If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} cannot specify a value for maxLength other than {value}.

4.3.3.2 XML Representation of maxLength Schema Components

The XML representation for a maxLength schema component is a <maxLength> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation SummarymaxLength Element Information Item

<maxLength
  fixed = boolean : false
  id = ID
  value = nonNegativeInteger
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</maxLength>

maxLength Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{value} The actual value of the value   [attribute]
{fixed} The actual value of the fixed   [attribute], if present, otherwise false
{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.
4.3.3.3 maxLength Validation Rules
Validation Rule: maxLength Valid
A value in a ·value space· is facet-valid with respect to ·maxLength·, determined as follows:
1 if the {variety} is ·atomic· then
1.1 if {primitive type definition} is string, then the length of the value, as measured in characters ·must· be less than or equal to {value};
1.2 if {primitive type definition} is hexBinary or base64Binary, then the length of the value, as measured in octets of the binary data, ·must· be less than or equal to {value};
2 if the {variety} is ·list·, then the length of the value, as measured in list items, ·must· be less than or equal to {value}
4.3.3.4 Constraints on maxLength Schema Components
Schema Component Constraint: maxLength valid restriction
It is an ·error· if maxLength is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is greater than the {value} of the parent maxLength.

4.3.4 pattern

[Definition:]   pattern is a constraint on the ·value space· of a datatype which is achieved by constraining the ·lexical space· to literals which match a specific pattern. The value of pattern  ·must· be a ·regular expression·.

·pattern· provides for:

Example
The following is the definition of a ·user-derived· datatype which is a better representation of postal codes in the United States, by limiting strings to those which are matched by a specific ·regular expression·.
<simpleType name='better-us-zipcode'>
  <restriction base='string'>
    <pattern value='[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?'/>
  </restriction>
</simpleType>
4.3.4.1 The pattern Schema Component
Schema Componentpattern
4.3.4.2 XML Representation of pattern Schema Components

The XML representation for a pattern schema component is a <pattern> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summarypattern Element Information Item

<pattern
  id = ID
  value = anySimpleType
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</pattern>

pattern Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{value} The actual value of the value   [attribute]
{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.
4.3.4.3 Constraints on XML Representation of pattern
Schema Representation Constraint: Multiple patterns
If multiple <pattern> element information items appear as  [children] of a <simpleType>, the  [value]s should be combined as if they appeared in a single ·regular expression· as separate ·branch·es.
NOTE: It is a consequence of the schema representation constraint Multiple patterns (§4.3.4.3) and of the rules for ·restriction· that ·pattern· facets specified on the same step in a type derivation are ORed together, while ·pattern· facets specified on different steps of a type derivation are ANDed together.

Thus, to impose two ·pattern· constraints simultaneously, schema authors may either write a single ·pattern· which expresses the intersection of the two ·pattern·s they wish to impose, or define each ·pattern· on a separate type derivation step.
4.3.4.4 pattern Validation Rules
Validation Rule: pattern valid
A literal in a ·lexical space· is facet-valid with respect to ·pattern· if:
1 the literal is among the set of character sequences denoted by the ·regular expression· specified in {value}.

4.3.5 enumeration

[Definition:]   enumeration constrains the ·value space· to a specified set of values.

enumeration does not impose an order relation on the ·value space· it creates; the value of the ·ordered· property of the ·derived· datatype remains that of the datatype from which it is ·derived·.

·enumeration· provides for:

Example
The following example is a datatype definition for a ·user-derived· datatype which limits the values of dates to the three US holidays enumerated. This datatype definition would appear in a schema authored by an "end-user" and shows how to define a datatype by enumerating the values in its ·value space·. The enumerated values must be type-valid literals for the ·base type·.
<simpleType name='holidays'>
    <annotation>
        <documentation>some US holidays</documentation>
    </annotation>
    <restriction base='gMonthDay'>
      <enumeration value='--01-01'>
        <annotation>
            <documentation>New Year's day</documentation>
        </annotation>
      </enumeration>
      <enumeration value='--07-04'>
        <annotation>
            <documentation>4th of July</documentation>
        </annotation>
      </enumeration>
      <enumeration value='--12-25'>
        <annotation>
            <documentation>Christmas</documentation>
        </annotation>
      </enumeration>
    </restriction>  
</simpleType>
4.3.5.1 The enumeration Schema Component
Schema Componentenumeration
{value}
A set of values from the ·value space· of the {base type definition}.
{annotation}
Optional. An annotation.
4.3.5.2 XML Representation of enumeration Schema Components

The XML representation for an enumeration schema component is an <enumeration> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summaryenumeration Element Information Item

<enumeration
  id = ID
  value = anySimpleType
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</enumeration>

enumeration Schema Component
PropertyRepresentation
{value} The actual value of the value   [attribute]
{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.
4.3.5.3 Constraints on XML Representation of enumeration
Schema Representation Constraint: Multiple enumerations
If multiple <enumeration> element information items appear as  [children] of a <simpleType> the {value} of the enumeration component should be the set of all such  [value]s.
4.3.5.4 enumeration Validation Rules
Validation Rule: enumeration valid
A value in a ·value space· is facet-valid with respect to ·enumeration· if the value is one of the values specified in {value}
4.3.5.5 Constraints on enumeration Schema Components
Schema Component Constraint: enumeration valid restriction
It is an ·error· if any member of {value} is not in the ·value space· of {base type definition}.

4.3.6 whiteSpace

[Definition:]   whiteSpace constrains the ·value space· of types ·derived· from string such that the various behaviors specified in Attribute Value Normalization in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] are realized. The value of whiteSpace must be one of {preserve, replace, collapse}.

preserve
No normalization is done, the value is not changed (this is the behavior required by [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] for element content)
replace
All occurrences of #x9 (tab), #xA (line feed) and #xD (carriage return) are replaced with #x20 (space)
collapse
After the processing implied by replace, contiguous sequences of #x20's are collapsed to a single #x20, and leading and trailing #x20's are removed.
NOTE: The notation #xA used here (and elsewhere in this specification) represents the Universal Character Set (UCS) code point hexadecimal A (line feed), which is denoted by U+000A. This notation is to be distinguished from &#xA;, which is the XML character reference to that same UCS code point.

whiteSpace is applicable to all ·atomic· and ·list· datatypes. For all ·atomic· datatypes other than string (and types ·derived· by ·restriction· from it) the value of whiteSpace is collapse and cannot be changed by a schema author; for string the value of whiteSpace is preserve; for any type ·derived· by ·restriction· from string the value of whiteSpace can be any of the three legal values. For all datatypes ·derived· by ·list· the value of whiteSpace is collapse and cannot be changed by a schema author. For all datatypes ·derived· by ·union·  whiteSpace does not apply directly; however, the normalization behavior of ·union· types is controlled by the value of whiteSpace on that one of the ·memberTypes· against which the ·union· is successfully validated.

NOTE: For more information on whiteSpace, see the discussion on white space normalization in Schema Component Details in [XML Schema Part 1: Structures].

·whiteSpace· provides for:

  • Constraining a ·value space· according to the white space normalization rules.

5 Conformance

This specification describes two levels of conformance for datatype processors. The first is required of all processors. Support for the other will depend on the application environments for which the processor is intended.

[Definition:]   Minimally conforming processors ·must· completely and correctly implement the ·Constraint on Schemas· and ·Validation Rule· .

[Definition:]   Processors which accept schemas in the form of XML documents as described in XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components (§4.1.2) (and other relevant portions of Datatype components (§4)) are additionally said to provide conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas, and ·must·, when processing schema documents, completely and correctly implement all ·Schema Representation Constraint·s in this specification, and ·must· adhere exactly to the specifications in XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components (§4.1.2) (and other relevant portions of Datatype components (§4)) for mapping the contents of such documents to schema components for use in validation.

NOTE: By separating the conformance requirements relating to the concrete syntax of XML schema documents, this specification admits processors which validate using schemas stored in optimized binary representations, dynamically created schemas represented as programming language data structures, or implementations in which particular schemas are compiled into executable code such as C or Java. Such processors can be said to be ·minimally conforming· but not necessarily in ·conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas·.

      The schema corresponding to this document is normative,

      First the built-in primitive datatypes.  These definitions are for
      information only, the real built-in definitions are magic.  Note in
      particular that there is no type named 'anySimpleType'.  The
      primitives should really be derived from no type at all, and
      anySimpleType should be derived as a union of all the primitives.
    </xs:documentation>

    <xs:documentation>
      For each built-in datatype in this schema (both primitive and
      derived) can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed
      as follows:
        1) the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
        2) the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype
        
      For example, to address the int datatype, the URI is:
      
        http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int
      
      Additionally, each facet definition element can be uniquely
      addressed via a URI constructed as follows:
        1) the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
        2) the fragment identifier is the name of the facet
        
      For example, to address the maxInclusive facet, the URI is:
      
        http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#maxInclusive

      Additionally, each facet usage in a built-in datatype definition
      can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:
        1) the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
        2) the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype, followed
           by a period (".") followed by the name of the facet
        
      For example, to address the usage of the maxInclusive facet in
      the definition of int, the URI is:

D ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats

next sub-sectionD.1 ISO 8601 Conventions

The ·primitive· datatypes duration, dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth and gYear use lexical formats inspired by [ISO 8601]. This appendix provides more detail on the ISO formats and discusses some deviations from them for the datatypes defined in this specification.

[ISO 8601] "specifies the representation of dates in the proleptic Gregorian calendar and times and representations of periods of time". The proleptic Gregorian calendar includes dates prior to 1582 (the year it came into use as an ecclesiastical calendar). It should be pointed out that the datatypes described in this specification do not cover all the types of data covered by [ISO 8601], nor do they support all the lexical representations for those types of data.

[ISO 8601] lexical formats are described using "pictures" in which characters are used in place of digits. For the primitive datatypes dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth and gYear. these characters have the following meanings:

  • C -- represents a digit used in the thousands and hundreds components, the "century" component, of the time element "year". Legal values are from 0 to 9.
  • Y -- represents a digit used in the tens and units components of the time element "year". Legal values are from 0 to 9.
  • M -- represents a digit used in the time element "month". The two digits in a MM format can have values from 1 to 12.
  • D -- represents a digit used in the time element "day". The two digits in a DD format can have values from 1 to 28 if the month value equals 2, 1 to 29 if the month value equals 2 and the year is a leap year, 1 to 30 if the month value equals 4, 6, 9 or 11, and 1 to 31 if the month value equals 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10 or 12.
  • h -- represents a digit used in the time element "hour". The two digits in a hh format can have values from 0 to 23.
  • m -- represents a digit used in the time element "minute". The two digits in a mm format can have values from 0 to 59.
  • s -- represents a digit used in the time element "second". The two digits in a ss format can have values from 0 to 60. In the formats described in this specification the whole number of seconds ·may· be followed by decimal seconds to an arbitrary level of precision. This is represented in the picture by "ss.sss". A value of 60 or more is allowed only in the case of leap seconds.

    Strictly speaking, a value of 60 or more is not sensible unless the month and day could represent March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31 in UTC. Because the leap second is added or subtracted as the last second of the day in UTC time, the long (or short) minute could occur at other times in local time. In cases where the leap second is used with an inappropriate month and day it, and any fractional seconds, should considered as added or subtracted from the following minute.

For all the information items indicated by the above characters, leading zeros are required where indicated.

In addition to the above, certain characters are used as designators and appear as themselves in lexical formats.

  • T -- is used as time designator to indicate the start of the representation of the time of day in dateTime.
  • Z -- is used as time-zone designator, immediately (without a space) following a data element expressing the time of day in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth, and gYear.

In the lexical format for duration the following characters are also used as designators and appear as themselves in lexical formats:

  • P -- is used as the time duration designator, preceding a data element representing a given duration of time.
  • Y -- follows the number of years in a time duration.
  • M -- follows the number of months or minutes in a time duration.
  • D -- follows the number of days in a time duration.
  • H -- follows the number of hours in a time duration.
  • S -- follows the number of seconds in a time duration.

The values of the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minutes components are not restricted but allow an arbitrary integer. Similarly, the value of the Seconds component allows an arbitrary decimal. Thus, the lexical format for duration and datatypes derived from it does not follow the alternative format of § 5.5.3.2.1 of [ISO 8601].

previous sub-section next sub-sectionD.2 Truncated and Reduced Formats

[ISO 8601] supports a variety of "truncated" formats in which some of the characters on the left of specific formats, for example, the century, can be omitted. Truncated formats are, in general, not permitted for the datatypes defined in this specification with three exceptions. The time datatype uses a truncated format for dateTime which represents an instant of time that recurs every day. Similarly, the gMonthDay and gDay datatypes use left-truncated formats for date. The datatype gMonth uses a right and left truncated format for date.

[ISO 8601] also supports a variety of "reduced" or right-truncated formats in which some of the characters to the right of specific formats, such as the time specification, can be omitted. Right truncated formats are also, in general, not permitted for the datatypes defined in this specification with the following exceptions: right-truncated representations of dateTime are used as lexical representations for date, gMonth, gYear.

previous sub-section D.3 Deviations from ISO 8601 Formats

D.3.1 Sign Allowed

An optional minus sign is allowed immediately preceding, without a space, the lexical representations for duration, dateTime, date, gMonth, gYear.

D.3.2 No Year Zero

The year "0000" is an illegal year value.

D.3.3 More Than 9999 Years

To accommodate year values greater than 9999, more than four digits are allowed in the year representations of dateTime, date, gYearMonth, and gYear. This follows [ISO 8601 Draft Revision].

E Adding durations to dateTimes

Given a dateTime S and a duration D, this appendix specifies how to compute a dateTime E where E is the end of the time period with start S and duration D i.e. E = S + D. Such computations are used, for example, to determine whether a dateTime is within a specific time period. This appendix also addresses the addition of durations to the datatypes date, gYearMonth, gYear, gDay and gMonth, which can be viewed as a set of dateTimes. In such cases, the addition is made to the first or starting dateTime in the set.

This is a logical explanation of the process. Actual implementations are free to optimize as long as they produce the same results. The calculation uses the notation S[year] to represent the year field of S, S[month] to represent the month field, and so on. It also depends on the following functions:

31 M = January, March, May, July, August, October, or December
30 M = April, June, September, or November
29 M = February AND (modulo(Y, 400) = 0 OR (modulo(Y, 100) != 0) AND modulo(Y, 4) = 0)
28 Otherwise

next sub-sectionE.1 Algorithm

Essentially, this calculation is equivalent to separating D into <year,month> and <day,hour,minute,second> fields. The <year,month> is added to S. If the day is out of range, it is pinned to be within range. Thus April 31 turns into April 30. Then the <day,hour,minute,second> is added. This latter addition can cause the year and month to change.

Leap seconds are handled by the computation by treating them as overflows. Essentially, a value of 60 seconds in S is treated as if it were a duration of 60 seconds added to S (with a zero seconds field). All calculations thereafter use 60 seconds per minute.

Thus the addition of either PT1M or PT60S to any dateTime will always produce the same result. This is a special definition of addition which is designed to match common practice, and -- most importantly -- be stable over time.

A definition that attempted to take leap-seconds into account would need to be constantly updated, and could not predict the results of future implementation's additions. The decision to introduce a leap second in UTC is the responsibility of the [International Earth Rotation Service (IERS)]. They make periodic announcements as to when leap seconds are to be added, but this is not known more than a year in advance. For more information on leap seconds, see [U.S. Naval Observatory Time Service Department].

The following is the precise specification. These steps must be followed in the same order. If a field in D is not specified, it is treated as if it were zero. If a field in S is not specified, it is treated in the calculation as if it were the minimum allowed value in that field, however, after the calculation is concluded, the corresponding field in E is removed (set to unspecified).

previous sub-section E.2 Commutativity and Associativity

Time durations are added by simply adding each of their fields, respectively, without overflow.

The order of addition of durations to instants is significant. For example, there are cases where:

((dateTime + duration1) + duration2) != ((dateTime + duration2) + duration1)

Example:

(2000-03-30 + P1D) + P1M = 2000-03-31 + P1M = 2001-04-30

(2000-03-30 + P1M) + P1D = 2000-04-30 + P1D = 2000-05-01

F Regular Expressions

A ·regular expression· R is a sequence of characters that denote a set of strings  L(R). When used to constrain a ·lexical space·, a regular expression  R asserts that only strings in L(R) are valid literals for values of that type.

[Definition:]  A regular expression is composed from zero or more ·branch·es, separated by | characters.

Regular Expression
[1]   regExp   ::=    branch ( '|' branch )*

For all ·branch·es S, and for all ·regular expression·s T, valid ·regular expression·s R are: Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
(empty string) the set containing just the empty string
S all strings in L(S)
S|T all strings in L(S) and all strings in L(T)

[Definition:]   A branch consists of zero or more ·piece·s, concatenated together.

Branch
[2]   branch   ::=   piece*

For all ·piece·s S, and for all ·branch·es T, valid ·branch·es R are: Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
S all strings in L(S)
ST all strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(T)

[Definition:]   A piece is an ·atom·, possibly followed by a ·quantifier·.

Piece
[3]   piece   ::=   atom quantifier?

For all ·atom·s S and non-negative integers n, m such that n <= m, valid ·piece·s R are: Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
S all strings in L(S)
S? the empty string, and all strings in L(S).
S* All strings in L(S?) and all strings st with s in L(S*) and t in L(S). ( all concatenations of zero or more strings from L(S) )
S+ All strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(S*). ( all concatenations of one or more strings from L(S) )
S{n,m} All strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(S{n-1,m-1}). ( All sequences of at least n, and at most m, strings from L(S) )
S{n} All strings in L(S{n,n}). ( All sequences of exactly n strings from L(S) )
S{n,} All strings in L(S{n}S*) ( All sequences of at least n, strings from L(S) )
S{0,m} All strings st with s in L(S?) and t in L(S{0,m-1}). ( All sequences of at most m, strings from L(S) )
S{0,0} The set containing only the empty string
NOTE: The regular expression language in the Perl Programming Language [Perl] does not include a quantifier of the form S{,m), since it is logically equivalent to S{0,m}. We have, therefore, left this logical possibility out of the regular expression language defined by this specification. We welcome further input from implementors and schema authors on this issue.

[Definition:]   A quantifier is one of ?, *, +, {n,m} or {n,}, which have the meanings defined in the table above.

Quanitifer
[4]   quantifier   ::=   [?*+] | ( '{' quantity '}' )
[5]   quantity   ::=   quantRange | quantMin | QuantExact
[6]   quantRange   ::=   QuantExact ',' QuantExact
[7]   quantMin   ::=   QuantExact ','
[8]   QuantExact   ::=   [0-9]+

[Definition:]   An atom is either a ·normal character·, a ·character class·, or a parenthesized ·regular expression·.

Atom
[9]   atom   ::=   Char | charClass | ( '(' regExp ')' )

For all ·normal character·s c, ·character class·es C, and ·regular expression·s S, valid ·atom·s R are: Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
c the single string consisting only of c
C all strings in L(C)
(S) all strings in L(S)

[Definition:]   A metacharacter is either ., \, ?, *, +, {, } (, ), [ or ]. These characters have special meanings in ·regular expression·s, but can be escaped to form ·atom·s that denote the sets of strings containing only themselves, i.e., an escaped ·metacharacter· behaves like a ·normal character·.

[Definition:]   A normal character is any XML character that is not a metacharacter. In ·regular expression·s, a normal character is an atom that denotes the singleton set of strings containing only itself.

Normal Character
[10]   Char   ::=   [^.\?*+()|#x5B#x5D]

Note that a ·normal character· can be represented either as itself, or with a character reference.

F.1 Character Classes

[Definition:]   A character class is an ·atom·  R that identifies a set of characters  C(R). The set of strings L(R) denoted by a character class R contains one single-character string "c" for each character c in C(R).

Character Class
[11]   charClass   ::=    charClassEsc | charClassExpr

A character class is either a ·character class escape· or a ·character class expression·.

[Definition:]   A character class expression is a ·character group· surrounded by [ and ] characters. For all character groups G, [G] is a valid character class expression, identifying the set of characters C([G]) = C(G).

Character Class Expression
[12]   charClassExpr   ::=   '[' charGroup ']'

[Definition:]   A character group is either a ·positive character group·, a ·negative character group·, or a ·character class subtraction·.

Character Group
[13]   charGroup   ::=    posCharGroup | negCharGroup | charClassSub

[Definition:]   A positive character group consists of one or more ·character range·s or ·character class escape·s, concatenated together. A positive character group identifies the set of characters containing all of the characters in all of the sets identified by its constituent ranges or escapes.

Positive Character Group
[14]   posCharGroup   ::=    ( charRange | charClassEsc )+

For all ·character range·s R, all ·character class escape·s E, and all ·positive character group·s P, valid ·positive character group·s G are: Identifying the set of characters C(G) containing:
R all characters in C(R).
E all characters in C(E).
RP all characters in C(R) and all characters in C(P).
EP all characters in C(E) and all characters in C(P).

[Definition:]   A negative character group is a ·positive character group· preceded by the ^ character. For all ·positive character group·s P, ^P is a valid negative character group, and C(^P) contains all XML characters that are not in C(P).

Negative Character Group
[15]   negCharGroup   ::=   '^' posCharGroup

[Definition:]   A character class subtraction is a ·character class expression· subtracted from a ·positive character group· or ·negative character group·, using the - character.

Character Class Subtraction
[16]   charClassSub   ::=    ( posCharGroup | negCharGroup ) '-' charClassExpr

For any ·positive character group· or ·negative character group· G, and any ·character class expression· C, G-C is a valid ·character class subtraction·, identifying the set of all characters in C(G) that are not also in C(C).

[Definition:]   A character range R identifies a set of characters C(R) containing all XML characters with UCS code points in a specified range.

Character Range
[17]   charRange   ::=    seRange | XmlCharRef | XmlCharIncDash
[18]   seRange   ::=   charOrEsc '-' charOrEsc
[19]   XmlCharRef   ::=   ( '&#' [0-9]+ ';' ) | (' &#x' [0-9a-fA-F]+ ';' )
[20]   charOrEsc   ::=   XmlChar | SingleCharEsc
[21]   XmlChar   ::=   [^\#x2D#x5B#x5D]
[22]   XmlCharIncDash   ::=   [^\#x5B#x5D]

A single XML character is a ·character range· that identifies the set of characters containing only itself. All XML characters are valid character ranges, except as follows:

A ·character range· ·may· also be written in the form s-e, identifying the set that contains all XML characters with UCS code points greater than or equal to the code point of s, but not greater than the code point of e.

s-e is a valid character range iff:

NOTE: The code point of a ·single character escape· is the code point of the single character in the set of characters that it identifies.

F.1.1 Character Class Escapes

[Definition:]   A character class escape is a short sequence of characters that identifies predefined character class. The valid character class escapes are the ·single character escape·s, the ·multi-character escape·s, and the ·category escape·s (including the ·block escape·s).

Character Class Escape
[23]   charClassEsc   ::=    ( SingleCharEsc | MultiCharEsc | catEsc | complEsc )

[Definition:]   A single character escape identifies a set containing a only one character -- usually because that character is difficult or impossible to write directly into a ·regular expression·.

Single Character Escape
[24]   SingleCharEsc   ::=   '\' [nrt\|.?*+(){}#x2D#x5B#x5D#x5E]

The valid ·single character escape·s are: Identifying the set of characters C(R) containing:
\n the newline character (#xA)
\r the return character (#xD)
\t the tab character (#x9)
\\ \
\| |
\. .
\- -
\^ ^
\? ?
\* *
\+ +
\{ {
\} }
\( (
\) )
\[ [
\] ]

[Definition:]   [Unicode Database] specifies a number of possible values for the "General Category" property and provides mappings from code points to specific character properties. The set containing all characters that have property X, can be identified with a category escape \p{X}. The complement of this set is specified with the category escape \P{X}. ([\P{X}] = [^\p{X}]).

Category Escape
[25]   catEsc   ::=   '\p{' charProp '}'
[26]   complEsc   ::=   '\P{' charProp '}'
[27]   charProp   ::=   IsCategory | IsBlock
NOTE: [Unicode Database] is subject to future revision. For example, the mapping from code points to character properties might be updated. All ·minimally conforming· processors ·must· support the character properties defined in the version of [Unicode Database] that is current at the time this specification became a W3C Recommendation. However, implementors are encouraged to support the character properties defined in any future version.

The following table specifies the recognized values of the "General Category" property.

NOTE: The properties mentioned above exclude the Cs property. The Cs property identifies "surrogate" characters, which do not occur at the level of the "character abstraction" that XML instance documents operate on.

[Definition:]   [Unicode Database] groups code points into a number of blocks such as Basic Latin (i.e., ASCII), Latin-1 Supplement, Hangul Jamo, CJK Compatibility, etc. The set containing all characters that have block name X (with all white space stripped out), can be identified with a block escape \p{IsX}. The complement of this set is specified with the block escape \P{IsX}. ([\P{IsX}] = [^\p{IsX}]).

Block Escape
[36]   IsBlock   ::=   'Is' [a-zA-Z0-9#x2D]+

The following table specifies the recognized block names (for more information, see the "Blocks.txt" file in [Unicode Database]).

NOTE: [Unicode Database] is subject to future revision. For example, the grouping of code points into blocks might be updated. All ·minimally conforming· processors ·must· support the blocks defined in the version of [Unicode Database] that is current at the time this specification became a W3C Recommendation. However, implementors are encouraged to support the blocks defined in any future version of the Unicode Standard.

For example, the ·block escape· for identifying the ASCII characters is \p{IsBasicLatin}.

[Definition:]   A multi-character escape provides a simple way to identify a commonly used set of characters:

Multi-Character Escape
[37]   MultiCharEsc   ::=   '.' | ('\' [sSiIcCdDwW])

Character sequence Equivalent ·character class·
. [^\n\r]
\s [#x20\t\n\r]
\S [^\s]
\i the set of initial name characters, those ·match·ed by Letter | '_' | ':'
\I [^\i]
\c the set of name characters, those ·match·ed by NameChar
\C [^\c]
\d \p{Nd}
\D [^\d]
\w [#x0000-#x10FFFF]-[\p{P}\p{Z}\p{C}] (all characters except the set of "punctuation", "separator" and "other" characters)
\W [^\w]
NOTE: The ·regular expression· language defined here does not attempt to provide a general solution to "regular expressions" over UCS character sequences. In particular, it does not easily provide for matching sequences of base characters and combining marks. The language is targeted at support of "Level 1" features as defined in [Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines]. It is hoped that future versions of this specification will provide support for "Level 2" features.

G Glossary (non-normative)

The listing below is for the benefit of readers of a printed version of this document: it collects together all the definitions which appear in the document above.

atomic
Atomic datatypes are those having values which are regarded by this specification as being indivisible.
base type
Every datatype that is ·derived· by restriction is defined in terms of an existing datatype, referred to as its base type. base types can be either ·primitive· or ·derived·.
bounded
A datatype is bounded if its ·value space· has either an ·inclusive upper bound· or an ·exclusive upper bound· and either an ·inclusive lower bound· and an ·exclusive lower bound·.
built-in
Built-in datatypes are those which are defined in this specification, and can be either ·primitive· or ·derived·;
canonical lexical representation
A canonical lexical representation is a set of literals from among the valid set of literals for a datatype such that there is a one-to-one mapping between literals in the canonical lexical representation and values in the ·value space·.
cardinality
Every ·value space· has associated with it the concept of cardinality. Some ·value space·s are finite, some are countably infinite while still others could conceivably be uncountably infinite (although no ·value space· defined by this specification is uncountable infinite). A datatype is said to have the cardinality of its ·value space·.
conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas
Processors which accept schemas in the form of XML documents as described in XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components (§4.1.2) (and other relevant portions of Datatype components (§4)) are additionally said to provide conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas, and ·must·, when processing schema documents, completely and correctly implement all ·Schema Representation Constraint·s in this specification, and ·must· adhere exactly to the specifications in XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components (§4.1.2) (and other relevant portions of Datatype components (§4)) for mapping the contents of such documents to schema components for use in validation.
constraining facet
A constraining facet is an optional property that can be applied to a datatype to constrain its ·value space·.
Constraint on Schemas
Constraint on Schemas
datatype
In this specification, a datatype is a 3-tuple, consisting of a) a set of distinct values, called its ·value space·, b) a set of lexical representations, called its ·lexical space·, and c) a set of ·facet·s that characterize properties of the ·value space·, individual values or lexical items.
derived
Derived datatypes are those that are defined in terms of other datatypes.
error
error
exclusive lower bound
A value l in an ·ordered·  ·value space· L is said to be an exclusive lower bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l < v.
exclusive upper bound
A value u in an ·ordered·  ·value space· U is said to be an exclusive upper bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u > v.
facet
A facet is a single defining aspect of a ·value space·. Generally speaking, each facet characterizes a ·value space· along independent axes or dimensions.
for compatibility
for compatibility
fundamental facet
A fundamental facet is an abstract property which serves to semantically characterize the values in a ·value space·.
inclusive lower bound
A value l in an ·ordered·  ·value space· L is said to be an inclusive lower bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l <= v.
inclusive upper bound
A value u in an ·ordered·  ·value space· U is said to be an inclusive upper bound of a ·value space· V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u >= v.
itemType
The ·atomic· datatype that participates in the definition of a ·list· datatype is known as the itemType of that ·list· datatype.
lexical space
A lexical space is the set of valid literals for a datatype.
list
List datatypes are those having values each of which consists of a finite-length (possibly empty) sequence of values of an ·atomic· datatype.
match
match
may
may
memberTypes
The datatypes that participate in the definition of a ·union· datatype are known as the memberTypes of that ·union· datatype.
minimally conforming
Minimally conforming processors ·must· completely and correctly implement the ·Constraint on Schemas· and ·Validation Rule· .
must
must
non-numeric
A datatype whose values are not ·numeric· is said to be non-numeric.
numeric
A datatype is said to be numeric if its values are conceptually quantities (in some mathematical number system).
ordered
A ·value space·, and hence a datatype, is said to be ordered if there exists an ·order-relation· defined for that ·value space·.
order-relation
An order relation on a ·value space· is a mathematical relation that imposes a ·total order· or a ·partial order· on the members of the ·value space·.
partial order
A partial order is an ·order-relation· that is irreflexive, asymmetric and transitive.
primitive
Primitive datatypes are those that are not defined in terms of other datatypes; they exist ab initio.
regular expression
A regular expression is composed from zero or more ·branch·es, separated by | characters.
restriction
A datatype is said to be ·derived· by restriction from another datatype when values for zero or more ·constraining facet·s are specified that serve to constrain its ·value space· and/or its ·lexical space· to a subset of those of its ·base type·.
Schema Representation Constraint
Schema Representation Constraint
total order
A total order is an ·partial order· such that for no a and b is it the case that a <> b.
union
Union datatypes are those whose ·value space·s and ·lexical space·s are the union of the ·value space·s and ·lexical space·s of one or more other datatypes.
user-derived
User-derived datatypes are those ·derived· datatypes that are defined by individual schema designers.
Validation Rule
Validation Rule
value space
A value space is the set of values for a given datatype. Each value in the value space of a datatype is denoted by one or more literals in its ·lexical space·.
