Description:

The PEF date element is parsed into subelements of year, month, and day.

Proposed Usage:

This datatype was developed to support the Epicentre date data types. It is intended as a direct mapping from Epicentre to an XML file.

XML Schema:

The schema and examples do not explicitly show the lines that set the namespaces.

All schema examples will use xsd: as the namespace for the schema tags and datatypes, and null for all the locally generated namespaces.

The defining file, either peftypes_u.xsd or peftypes_q.xsd, must be imported into the document building the application schema.

It is recommended that these elements and their subelements have a namespace qualifier. The recommended qualifier is 'pef'.

<xsd:element name="date" type="parsedDateType"/>

Sample Usage Schema:

The element is globally defined. It is recommended that elementFormDefault be "qualified."

  <element name="effective_date">
   <complexType>
    <sequence>
     <element ref="pef:date"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
  </element>

Sample XML:

The example will show namespace of 'pef'

  <effective_date>
   <pef:date>
    <pef:year>1992</pef:year>
    <pef:month>04</pef:month>
    <pef:day>12</pef:day>
   </pef:date>
  </effective_date>
