Abstract

This specification provides a set of basic [XML Schema 1.0] patterns known to be interoperable between state of the art databinding implementations. The patterns may be used to describe [XML 1.0] representations of commonly used data structures. The data structures described are intended to be independent of any particular programming language, database or modelling environment.

This document has been produced by the XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Working Group, which is part of the W3C Web Services Activity.

Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

This document is a W3C Working Draft published to solicit comments from interested parties. Please submit comments on this document to the public public-xsd-databinding-comments@w3.org mailing list (public archive).

The Working Group is also producing an accompanying [Advanced Patterns] document, which will include [XML Schema 1.0] patterns in common use, but which are not well supported by state of the art databinding implementations.

The Working Group solicits contributions to the test suite in the form of implementation reports and additional test cases.

The Working Group plans to submit a subsequent version of this specification to the W3C Director for consideration as a W3C Proposed Recommendation following a demonstration of the interoperability of a significant number of state of the art databinding implementations using the test suite and a collection of implementation reports.

This Document is the result of the first call for implementations, the initial results that led to the modifications of this specification are available for the new classification of basic, advanced tests. A complete report is also available.

1. Introduction

A databinding tool generates a mapping between [XML 1.0] documents which conform to an [XML Schema 1.0] schema and an internal data representation. For example, a Web services databinding tool may use [XML Schema 1.0] descriptions inside a [WSDL 2.0] or [WSDL 1.1] document to produce and consume [XML 1.0], [SOAP 1.2] and [SOAP 1.1] messages in terms of data structures in a programming language or data held inside a database.

[XML Schema 1.0] provides a wide variety of methods for describing the same [XML 1.0] structure. Conversely an abstract concept such as "null" may be represented in a wide variety of different ways using [XML Schema 1.0].

A representative collection of databinding implementations in common use has been used to provide an indication of the "state of the art". State of the art databinding implementations have displayed uneven and inconsistent support of the W3C [XML Schema 1.0] Recommendation resulting in impaired interoperability and a poor user experience of databinding tools:

This specification provides a basic set of example [XML Schema 1.0] constructs and types in the form of concrete [XPath 2.0] expressions. These patterns are known to work well with state of the art databinding implementations.

Authors of [XML Schema 1.0] documents may find these patterns useful in providing a better user experience for consumers of their schemata using databinding tools. Whilst it is not possible to guarantee that schemata produced using these patterns will give a good user experience with the universal set of databinding tools, the patterns contained in this specification have been all been tested with a number of different tools covering a variety of different programming languages and environments.

Implementers of databinding tools may find these patterns useful to represent simple and common place data structures. Ensuring tools recognize at least these simple [XML Schema 1.0] patterns and present them in terms most appropriate to the specific language, database or environment will provide an improved user experience when using databinding tools. It is inappropriate to use this specification to constrain implementation of the [XML Schema 1.0] Recommendation.

1.1 Notational Conventions

All parts of this specification are normative, with the EXCEPTION of notes, examples, and sections explicitly marked as Non-Normative.

The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this specification are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].

Each [XML Schema 1.0] pattern is defined using a single [XPath 2.0] expression constraining one or more [XML Schema 1.0] items.

Each [XML Schema 1.0] pattern is identified using a unique and stable URI [RFC 3986].

Assertions about documents and implementations that are not enforced by the normative patterns are marked by a dagger symbol (†) at the end of a sentence. Each assertion has been assigned a unique and stable identifier. The assertion identifiers may be used by implementations of this specification for any purpose, such as error reporting. The assertions and their identifiers are summarized in section E. Assertion Summary.

1.2 Namespaces

This specification uses a number of namespace prefixes throughout; they are listed in Table 1-1. Note that the choice of any namespace prefix is arbitrary and not semantically significant (see [XML Namespaces]).

1.3 Document Conformance

A document claiming conformance to this specification:

  • MUST use either the UTF-8 or UTF-16 [Unicode] encoding.
  • MAY include the [Unicode] Byte Order Mark (BOM).
  • MUST be a well-formed [XML 1.0] document
  • MUST conform to the [XML Schema 1.0] Recommendation
  • MUST only contain [XML 1.0] element nodes and attribute nodes which form a part of one or more complete patterns contained in this specification.
  • MAY contain additional [XML 1.0] comment nodes and processing instruction nodes.

1.4 Implementation Conformance

An implementation that claims conformance to this specification:

  • SHOULD be able to process any valid [XML Schema 1.0] document.
  • MUST be able to process any [XML Schema 1.0] document conforming to this specification
  • MUST produce a data model exposing all of the [XML 1.0] element node and attribute node content described by the originating [XML Schema 1.0] document.
  • MUST be able to consume any well-formed [XML 1.0] document which satisfies local-schema validity against the originating [XML Schema 1.0] document exposing all of the [XML 1.0] element node and attribute node content in the data model.
  • MUST be able to produce well-formed [XML 1.0] instance documents which satisfy local-schema validity against the originating [XML Schema 1.0] document containing values exposed in the data model.
  • MAY consume well-formed [XML 1.0] instance documents which do not satisfy local-schema validity against the originating [XML Schema 1.0] document.
  • MAY allow the production of well-formed [XML 1.0] instance documents containing values exposed in the data model which do not satisfy local-schema validity against the originating [XML Schema 1.0] document.

Describing the form of the data model provided by a databinding implementation is beyond the scope of this specification. For example, the unconstrained built-in numeric primitive types, xs:decimal, xs:integer, xs:negativeInteger, xs:positiveInteger, xs:nonNegativeInteger and xs:nonPositiveInteger, do not map directly to native types in many programming languages and are likely to be presented as a toolkit specific construct or more generalised ways, such as a 'string'.

Note that although the patterns contained in this document are defined using [XPath 2.0], there is no requirement for a conformant implementation to support [XPath 2.0].

2. Schema Patterns

This section defines the set of concrete [XML Schema 1.0] patterns which may appear inside a conformant document. A pattern definition includes the following information:

URI

A URI [RFC 3986] is provided to identify the pattern. The URI can be dereferenced to return informal documentation for the pattern including a list of examples and public schemas which exhibit the pattern.

XPath

A normative [XPath 2.0] expression returning a set of one or more XML element and attribute nodes. The [XPath 2.0] expression is located from an [XML Schema 1.0] element node which may be the document element, or an element contained inside an [XML 1.0] document such as [WSDL 2.0] description.

Examples

Optionally one or more non-normative [XML Schema 1.0] documents or fragments, followed by one or more valid instance document fragments.

A collection of patterns, including patterns beyond the scope of this specification, are available from http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/patterns/6/09/.

This document offers no additional semantics for the schema patterns presented beyond those specified by the [XML Schema 1.0] Recommendation.

2.1 Schema Element

The xs:schema element MAY be the document element, but MAY also appear within other descriptions such as a [WSDL 2.0] or [WSDL 1.1] document.

2.1.1 TargetNamespace

An [XML 1.0] document exhibits the TargetNamespace pattern identified using the URI [RFC 3986] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/patterns/6/09/TargetNamespace when the following [XPath 2.0] expression applied to a document or element node located by //xs:schema results in an [XPath 2.0] node-set containing at least one node:

.[@targetNamespace]/ (., @targetNamespace)

An [XML Schema 1.0] document conforming to this specification MUST define a targetNamespace whose value is an absolute URI.

The following example [XML Schema 1.0] document [TargetNamespace] illustrates the use of the TargetNamespace pattern:

<xs:schematargetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/examples/6/09/" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  <xs:element name="targetNamespace" type="xs:string" />
</xs:schema>
    

The following example [XML 1.0] element is valid against the above example [XML Schema 1.0] when included inside an instance document [TargetNamespace01]:

<xs:annotation>
  <xs:documentationxml:lang="en" />
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element name="documentationElement" type="xs:string">
  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentationxml:lang="en" />
  </xs:annotation>
</xs:element>
    

The following example [XML 1.0] element is valid against the above example [XML Schema 1.0] when included inside an instance document [DocumentationElement01]:

2.3 Properties

2.3.1 IdentifierName

An [XML 1.0] document exhibits the IdentifierName pattern identified using the URI [RFC 3986] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/patterns/6/09/IdentifierName when the following [XPath 2.0] expression applied to a document or element node located by //xs:schema results in an [XPath 2.0] node-set containing at least one node:

.//.[matches(@name, "^[A-Za-z_]([A-Za-z0-9_]{0,31})$")]/ (@name)

Note, this pattern represents a subset of the native identifier formats supported by many, but not all, implementations and is therefore most likely to be supported by a databinding tools which directly maps an [XML 1.0] NCName to an native identifier.

The NCName used to declare an [XML 1.0] attribute MUST NOT be used as the declared NCName of a child element.

The following example [XML Schema 1.0] extract illustrates the use of the IdentifierName pattern within an [XML Schema 1.0] document [IdentifierName]:

<xs:element name="identifierName" type="xs:string" />
    

The following example [XML 1.0] element is valid against the above example [XML Schema 1.0] when included inside an instance document [IdentifierName02]:

A. Detecting Patterns (Non-Normative)

The patterns defined by this specification may be detected in a description such as an [XML Schema 1.0], [WSDL 2.0] or [WSDL 1.1] document using an [XPath 2.0] processor. The following example illustrates detecting a pattern using an [XSLT 2.0] stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:ex="http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/examples/6/09/"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:wsdl11="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">

    <xsl:output method="text" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="//xs:schema" mode="detect"/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*" mode="detect">
        <xsl:if test="count(.//xs:element/@type[resolve-QName(.,..) = xs:QName('xs:string')]) gt 0">
            http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/patterns/6/09/StringElement
        </xsl:if>

        <!-- tests to detect other patterns .. -->

    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="text()"/>
</xsl:stylesheet> 

Similarly a [Schematron] schema may be assembled from this specification and used in conjunction with a processor which supports [XPath 2.0] as follows:

<sch:schema xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron">
    <sch:ns prefix="xs" uri="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"></sch:ns>
    <sch:pattern name="Basic">
        <sch:rule>
            <sch:report 
            test="count(.//xs:element/@type[resolve-QName(.,..) = xs:QName('xs:string')]) gt 0">
                http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/patterns/6/09/StringElement
            </sch:report>
        </sch:rule>

        <!-- reports to detect other patterns .. -->

Elements and attributes which fall outside of a set of patterns may be detected using an [XPath2.0] expression as in the following [XSLT 2.0] extract:

  <xsl:if select="(.//* | .//@*)   except
        ( @targetNamespace
            | .//xs:element[resolve-QName(@type,.) = xs:QName('xs:string')]/(@type)
            | .. other pattern XPaths ..
        )"> 
            unexpected elements or attributes detected
        </xsl:if>         
            

B. Data Types & Structures (Non-Normative)

This section offers one or more patterns which may be used to represent an abstract data structure. Each data structure presented is intended to be independent of any particular programming language, database or modeling environment. No semantics are implied by the order in which patterns are listed for a given abstract data structure.

B.1 Null Value

Definition
A special value used to represent an "unknown", "missing", "not applicable", "uninitialised" or "undefined value".
Patterns

B.2 Default Value

Definition
A preselected value used by when no alternative is explicitly specified.
Patterns
  • none

B.3 Enumeration

Definition
A type whose definition contains an exhaustive list of possible values.
Patterns

B.4 Collection

Definition
A collection of data items, typically contained by a programming language "object", "class", "structure", or "record".
Patterns

B.5 Inherited Collection

Definition
A collection which extends an existing collection.
Patterns

B.6 Vector

Definition
An ordered sequence of items of the same type. This construct appears in programming languages as an array or list.
Patterns
