With this exception, this DTD and its accompanying specification use British English spellings. --> <!-- ============================= PARAMETER ENTITY DECLARATIONS ============================= --> <!-- ================================================================================ Attribute sets ================================================================================ --> <!-- ================================== assignment ================================== AssignedBy ========== An identifier for the party assigning a piece of metadata. This can be a string that designates the party informally (for example, a person's name), or a pointer in the form a fragment identifier consisting of a # character followed by the Duid of a Topic corresponding to the party. Importance ========== An indication of the importance the party assigning a piece of metadata attaches to it. The value of the Importance attribute is a formal name for a level of importance. Its meaning and permitted values are determined by a controlled vocabulary. Confidence ========== An indication of the confidence with which a piece of metadata has been assigned. The value of the Confidence attribute is a formal name for a degree of confidence. Its meaning and permitted values are determined by a controlled vocabulary. HowPresent ========== An indication of the way in which a piece of metadata applies. The value of the HowPresent attribute is a formal name for the way the metadata applies. Its meaning and permitted values are determined by a controlled vocabulary. DateAndTime =========== The date and (optionally) time at which a piece of metadata was assigned. Uses the format CCYYMMDDTHHMMSS{+or-}HHMM (century, year, month, day, time separator, hours, minutes, seconds, timezone separator, hours, minutes). If only the Date is needed, then the substring from T onwards may be omitted. This is the Basic Format defined by ISO 8601. CCYY is a 4-digit year number. MM is a 2-digit month number. DD is a 2-digit day number. T is the letter 'T'. HH is a 2-digit hour number (using a 24-hour clock). MM is a 2 digit minute number. (Note that midnight may be represented as 2400 or 240000 on the date of the day that is ending, or as 0000 or 000000 on the date of the day that is beginning.) {+or-} is the '+' character or the '-' character, and the following HHMM are hours and minutes of offset from Universal Co-ordinated Time (UTC) as defined by ISO 8601. If the time is being expressed in UTC, then the timezone offset may be '+0000' or '-0000'. If the time is behind UTC, the timezone separator is '-'. If the time is ahead of UTC the timezone separator is '+'. Example: 10:27 p.m. in New York on 31 December 2000 would be expressed as "20001231T222700-0500" as New York is five hours behind UTC in winter. At the same moment in London, the date and time would be expressed as time would be expressed as "20010101T032700+0000" or as , "20010101T00+0000", as in London, it is now 3:27 a.m. on 1 January 2001. At the same moment in Paris, the date and time would be expressed as "20010101T042700+0100", as Paris is one hour ahead of UTC in winter, and it is now 4:27 a.m. on 1 January 2001. ================================================================================ --> <!ENTITY % assignment " AssignedBy CDATA #IMPLIED Importance CDATA #IMPLIED Confidence CDATA #IMPLIED HowPresent CDATA #IMPLIED DateAndTime CDATA #IMPLIED"> <!-- ================================= formalname =================================== FormalName ========== A string of characters whose meaning is determined by a controlled vocabulary. Vocabulary ========== The Vocabulary attribute, if present, provides a pointer to a TopicSet which is the controlled vocabulary that can be used to resolve the meaning of the FormalName. The value of the Vocabulary attribute is an http URL or a NewsML URN, or the # character followed by the value of the Duid attribute of the a TopicSet in the current document. If there is no Vocabulary attribute, then the controlled vocabulary to be used is located by the following algorithm: - Proceed to the parent of the current element. - If it has a Catalog element as its immediate child, see whether that Catalog contains a Resource element whose DefaultVocabularyFor child contains an XPath pattern that is matched by the current element. If so, then the controlled vocabulary is the resource identified by that Resource element. - If the parent does not meet the above condition, proceed to its parent and check the same condition. - Continue until a vocabulary is found, or no further parent elements are available because the root element has been reached and it too fails to meet the condition. If there is no Vocabulary attribute and the above algorithm fails to identify a resource that serves as the controlled vocabulary, there is an error, which the NewsML system may signal to the user. The NewsML system may also signal an error if a vocabulary is successfully identified, but it contains no item that matches the value of the FormalName whose meaning is sought. Scheme ====== The Scheme attribute, if present, serves to distinguish which of possibly multiple naming schemes in the controlled vocabulary is the one that governs this FormalName. For a match to be obtained within the controlled vocabulary, the rule is that the FormalName and the Scheme must both match. If there is no Scheme attribute on the current element, the match will be to an item in the vocabulary that has the current formal name and no scheme. If there is a Scheme attribute on the current element, then both the formal name and the scheme in the controlled vocabulary must match. ================================================================================ --> <!ENTITY % formalname " FormalName CDATA #REQUIRED Vocabulary CDATA #IMPLIED Scheme CDATA #IMPLIED"> <!-- =================================== localid ==================================== Duid ==== Duid is a "Document-unique Identifier". It must satisfy the rules for XML ID attributes: it must only contain name characters, and it must start with a name-start character (not a digit). Its value must be unique within any NewsML document. Every NewsML element type has Duid as an optional attribute. Combined with the Identifier element, providing a value for the Duid of any element in a NewsML document makes the element globally identifiable. The Identifier element gives global identification to the document, and the Duid provides local identification for the element within the document. Euid ==== Euid is an "Element-unique Identifier". Its value must be unique among elements of the same element-type and having the same parent element. Use of Euid attribute makes it possible to identify any NewsML element within the context of its local branch of the NewsML document tree. This makes it possible to copy, or include by reference, subtrees into new combinations in ways that would break the uniqueness of Duids (thereby forcing new Duids to be allocated), but still being able to retain the identity of each element. If Euids are maintained at every level, it is possible to identify, for example "The ContentItem whose Euid is abc within the NewsComponent whose Euid is def". Such identification patterns would be preserved even after "pruning and grafting" of subtrees. ================================================================================ --> <!ENTITY % localid " Duid ID #IMPLIED Euid CDATA #IMPLIED"> <!-- ================================================================================ Content Models ================================================================================ --> <!-- ===================================== data ===================================== Where data is included, it may be directly in the form of a DataContent element, or in the form of DataContent wrapped in an Encoding element, or by reference through an Href attribute, in which case neither a DataContent nor an Encoding element will be present. ================================================================================ --> <!ENTITY % data " (Encoding | DataContent )?"> <!-- ==================================== party ===================================== Person, organisation or company playing a specific role in the news workflow.

Its value consists of a # character followed by the value of the Duid attribute of the referenced Catalog element and preceded, if the referenced Catalog is not in the current document, by an http URL or a NewsML URN identifying the document or NewsItem in which the Catalog appears.

ValueRef ======== A pointer to the value of the Property. This might be a Topic in a TopicSet, or any other piece of data. If both Value and ValueRef are provided, then ValueRef identifies the actual value of the property, with Value simply providing a string representation or mnemonic for it.

The provider's ID is specified in the element content. This should be an Internet domain name that is owned by the provider at the date identified by the DateId subelement of the NewsIdentifier, or the name for the Provider drawn from a controlled vocabulary identified by a URN specified in the Vocabulary attribute. This will ensure that the identity of the provider can be inferred unambiguously from the full NewsIdentifier. Example: <NewsIdentifier> <ProviderId>iptc.org</ProviderId> <DateId>20001001</DateId> <NewsItemId>NewsML version 1.0</NewsItemId> <RevisionId>1</RevisionId </NewsIdentifier> Because the domain name "iptc.org" was owned on 1 October 2000 by the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) and no-one else, it is certain that IPTC is the provider in this case. ================================================================================ --> <!ELEMENT ProviderId (#PCDATA )> <!ATTLIST ProviderId Vocabulary CDATA #IMPLIED > <!-- =============================== PublicIdentifier =============================== A public identifier (in the sense defined by the XML 1,0 Specification) for a NewsItem.

The Vocabulary attribute of ProviderId necessarily begins with the characters "urn:" because, as stated in the comment to the ProviderId element above, it must take the form of a URN identifying a controlled vocabulary. Note that the existence of this URN enables the NewsItem to be referenced unambiguously by pointers from other XML elements or resources. Within such pointers, if the RevisionId, its preceding : character and its following Update qualifier are omitted, then the pointer designates the most recent revision at the time it is resolved. ================================================================================ --> <!ELEMENT PublicIdentifier (#PCDATA )> <!-- ================================== Relevance =================================== An indication of the relevance of a NewsItem to a given target audience.

A RevisionId of 0 is not permitted. The PreviousRevision attribute must be present, and its value must be equal to the content of the RevisionId element of the NewsItem's previous revision, if there is one, and 0 if the NewsItem has no previous revision. If the NewsItem contains an Update element or elements, then the Update attribute must be set to U.

The TopicSet attribute is a pointer to the relevant TopicSet. Its value can be an http URL, or a NewsML URN as described in the comment to PublicIdentifier, or a fragment identifier consisting of a # character followed by the Duid of a TopicSet in the current document. The presence of a TopicSetRef child in a TopicSet has the effect that all the Topics in the referenced TopicSet are included by reference within the current TopicSet. When this merging results in there exising two FormalName grandchildren of the same TopicSet that have the same content and the same Scheme attribute value, then the Topics whose children are in fact the same topic, and are deemed to be merged. The merging of Topics need not be performed physically by the system, but the meaning of the data is exactly the same as if the merging were actually performed.

This should be unique among all distinct transmissions from the same publisher. If a transmission is repeated (perhaps because the sender is not confident that it was successfully received) then the same TransmissionId content may be used, but a Repeat attribute should be provided to distinguish the second transmission from the first. The form that the value of the Repeat attribute takes is determined by the provider. Likewise, the format for the TransmissionId itself is for the provider to decide. It could for example consist of a channel identifier followed by a sequence number. ================================================================================ --> <!ELEMENT TransmissionId (#PCDATA )> <!ATTLIST TransmissionId %localid; Repeat CDATA #IMPLIED > <!-- ==================================== Update ==================================== A modification to an existing NewsItem.
