PEF Element: ratio

Description:

The PEF ratio element has a numerator and denominator subelement, both of which are mandatory.

Proposed Usage:

This datatype was developed to support the Epicentre ratio data type. 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="ratio" type="ratio"/>
    

    Sample Usage Schema:

  • The element is globally defined. It is recommended that elementFormDefault be "qualified."
  •   <element name="crush_damage_ratio">
       <complexType>
        <sequence>
         <element ref="pef:ratio"/>
        </sequence>
       </complexType>
      </element>
    

    Sample XML:

    The example will show namespace of 'pef'

      <crush_damage_ratio>
       <pef:ratio>
        <pef:numerator>87.2</pef:numerator>
        <pef:denominator>895</pef:denominator>
       </pef:ratio>
      </crush_damage_ratio>
