Description:

The PEF yearmonthinterval element has yearInterval and monthInterval subelements.

Proposed Usage:

This element was developed to support the Epicentre yearmonthinterval data type. It is intended as a direct mapping from Epicentre to an XML file. W3C Schema, using ISO 8601, defines specific data types for time durations, that should be used outside the Epicentre context.

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="yearmonthinterval" type="yearmonthinterval"/>

Sample Usage Schema:

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

  <element name="activity_duration">
   <complexType>
    <sequence>
     <element ref="pef:yearmonthinterval"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
  </element>

Sample XML:

The example will show namespace of 'pef'

  <activity_duration>
   <pef:yearmonthinterval>
    <pef:monthInterval>18</pef:monthInterval>
   </pef:yearmonthinterval>
  </activity_duration>
