Basic structure of the IDM scheme

IDM 2.8.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Basic structure of the IDM scheme

The main element T_NEW_CATALOG defines that a complete, new catalogue database is supplied.

 

The IDM scheme is split up into different data areas represented by the following child elements (cf. pict.1) of T_NEW_CATALOG.

 

 

 

Picture 1 - Child elements of T_NEW_CATALOG

 

The different data areas are linked. Data which are initially created in some of the areas are used in other areas via references.

 

Description of the data areas.

 

CATALOG

The data area CATALOG contains all administrative information about the database, e.g. the version number of the file format, release date or the unique identification of the database.

 

SUPPLIER

The data area SUPPLIER contains all adiministrative information about the supplier, e.g. contact data, EDI-communication parameters or the manufacturer's country of origin.

 

GLOBAL_DEFINITION

 

The data area GLOBAL_DEFINITION is a pool of information which is used in other data areas, e.g. the definition of standard handle positions or information about series.

 

SERIES

The data area SERIES contains information which is used for describing the catalogue items. The items are assigned to different product groups, e.g. base cabinets, shelves etc.

 

FEATURE_DEFINITION

The data area FEATURE_DEFINITION provides information about the product variations, e.g. data variation families (FEATURE_CLASS),variation types (FEATURE), the corresponding options (OPTION_DEFINITION), or restrictions (RESTRICTION).

 

PRICE_DEFINITION

The data area PRICE_DEFINITION contains all relevant price information, e.g. data for price features (PRICE_FEATURE_GROUP), VAT (VALUE_ADDED_TAXES), merchandise groups (MERCHANDISE_GROUP) or price types PRICE_TYPE).

 

BLOCK_VALUE_CALCULATION

The data area BLOCK_VALUE_CALCULATON contains all information about the rules for block- and value clearing, e.g. data for block rules (SET_OF_BLOCK_RULES), block conditions (BLOCK_CONDITIONS) or grading tables (GRADING_TABLE).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elements of the catalogue structure

IDM 2.8.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Elements of the catalogue structure

 

 

Definition of series information

 

Series are defined in the following element:

 

T_NEW_CATALOG/SERIES/SERIE

 

 

For a complete description of a series all child elements are used. Programmes are assigned to series via restrictions (RESTRICTION_REF).

 

 

Definition of programme information

 

In the IDM format programmes are defined as variations. First the properties of a programme are defined as options of a variation, following the options are assigned to the variation type "programme". The definition of programme information is done in the following way:

 

Example: Definition of programme information

 

1. Definition of programme properties

 

The properties of a programme are defined in the following element:

FEATURE_DEFINITION/OPTION_DEFINITION

 

<OPTION_DEFINITION>

 <STYLE STYLE_NO="A1">

   <STYLE_NAME>Paris</STYLE_NAME>

 </STYLE>

 <STYLE STYLE_NO="A2">

   <STYLE_NAME>New York</STYLE_NAME>

 </STYLE>

</OPTION_DEFINITION>

 

The properties for the programmes "Paris" and "New York" are defined. For reasons of clarity the different available elements of STYLE are neglected in this context.

 

2. Definition of programme variations

The programme variations are described in the following element:

 

FEATURE_DEFINITION/FEATURES/FEATURE

 

<FEATURE FEATURE_NO="1">

 <OPTIONS>

   <OPTION OPTION_NO="A1"FEATURE_NO="1">

     <STYLE_REF STYLE_NO="A1"/>

   </OPTION>

   <OPTION OPTION_NO="A2"FEATURE_NO="1">

     <STYLE_REF STYLE_NO="A2"/>

   </OPTION>

 </OPTIONS>

</FEATURE>

 

The example above contains the variations of the programmes "Paris" and "New York". Programme variations are defined with the feature No. 1 in the feature "programme". Each programme variation is uniquely and unambiguously identified by the combination of FEATURE_NO and OPTION_NO

 

Definition of item information

 

Item information is defined in the following element:

 

T_NEW_CATALOG/SERIES/SERIE/PRODUCT_GROUPS/PRODUCT_GROUP/ITEMS/ITEM

 

The element ITEM is described by a great number of different elements providing additional item information. The attribute TYPE_NO.

Depending on series the attributes of an item may vary. In this respect an item is identified unambiguously only by its attributes in connection with the series.

 

Series specific item information

 

Depending on series the attributes of an item may vary. As the element ITEM is a child element of SERIES, items are assigned to a series automatically.

 

 

 

Deifinition of features

 

Information about the features is provided in the IDM scheme as follows:

 

Definition of the options for the feature

Assignment of option and feature

 

Definition of options

 

The different options of a feature are defined as a data pool in the element T_NEW_CATALOG/FEATURE_DEFINITION/OPTION_DEFINITION.

 

Pict. 2 – The element OPTION_DEFINITION

 

The element OPTION_DEFINITION contains several elements for the definition of the different options:

 

STYLE

This element defines the attributes of a programme. Programmes are defined as a level in the catalogue structure but depicted via the features which are frequently used in the restrictions.

HANDLE_ORIENTATION

This element defines a standard handle orientation.

MATERIAL

This element defines the attributes of materials via colours and textures. These elements are referenced from the finish features (e.g. plinth finish) or colour features (e.g. plinth colour).

FORM

This element defines the different numbers for the form features (FORM_NO).The current version of the IDM-scheme supports only the feature FORM_NOThe options of this element may only be referenced by the features 750-756.

OPTION_MEASURE

This element contains measurement values for options which , require measurement information (e.g. plinth height (feature 402)).

 

Example: colour options

 

<OPTION_DEFINITION>

  <COLOR COLOR_NO="1">

    <RGB_RED>255</RGB_RED>

    <RGB_GREEN>0</RGB_GREEN>

    <RGB_BLUE>0</RGB_BLUE>

  </COLOR>

  <COLOR COLOR_NO="2">

    <RGB_RED>133</RGB_RED>

    <RGB_GREEN>273</RGB_GREEN>

    <RGB_BLUE>0</RGB_BLUE>

  </COLOR>

  <COLOR COLOR_NO="3">

    <RGB_RED>0</RGB_RED>

    <RGB_GREEN>89</RGB_GREEN>

    <RGB_BLUE>89</RGB_BLUE>

  </COLOR>

</OPTION_DEFINITION>

 

The above mentioned elements define three different colours which are identified by numbers (COLOR_NO) 1-3.

 

Assignment of option and feature

 

To use the above mentioned colour examples, an assignment of features to these colours is required.

The assignment of features (FEATURE) and options (OPTION) is done in the element T_NEW_CATALOG/FEATURE_DEFINITION/FEATURES/FEATURE. A feature is defined an identified by the combination of FEATURE and OPTION The following XML elements define 2 colour features for plinths (feature 401).

 

Example: Definition of a feature via feature No. and option

 

<FEATURE FEATURE_NO="401">

  <OPTIONS>

    <OPTION OPTION_NO="1" FEATURE_NO="401">

      <OPTION_TEXT_REF TEXT_NO="4"/>

    </OPTION>

    <OPTION OPTION_NO="3" FEATURE_NO="401">

      <OPTION_TEXT_REF TEXT_NO="6"/>

    </OPTION>

  </OPTIONS>

  <FEATURE_TEXT_REF TEXT_NO="12"/>

  <CLASSIFICATION>1</CLASSIFICATION>

  <HEADER_POS_VARIATION_TYPE>K</HEADER_POS_VARIATION_TYPE>

</FEATURE>

 

The child elements of FEATURE describe the attributes of the feature No. and the child elements of OPTION describe the attributes of the feature. This principle is essential for all elements in the IDM-scheme,e.g. the element OPTION_TEXT_REF references the text information about the option, the element FEATURE_TEXT_REF references text information concerning the feature.

 

To reference a feature the following combination is required: FEATURE_NO and OPTION_NO define the reference key.

 

Combination of features

 

If feature No. 1 (programme) is defined in combination with other features, feature No. 1 is always set in the first place.

IDM 2.8.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Build of Catalogue structure

 

 

Assignment of programmes to series

 

Programmes are assigned to series in the following element:

 

SERIES/SERIE/RESTRICTION_REF

 

The programme is assigned to that series in which a restriction is referenced that defines the programme as a legal combination of features and options.

 

The element for the description of programme features is:

 

FEATURE_DEFINITION/OPTION_DEFINITION/STYLE

 

Assignment of items to series an programmes

 

Item-series assignment

As the element ITEM is a child element of the element SERIES, all items are automatically assigned to a series:

SERIES/SERIE/PRODUCT_GROUPS/PRODUCT_GROUP/ITEMS/ITEM

 

Assignment of item to programmes

In general, items depending on programmes are available in all programmes which are assigned to a series. Item specific restrictions are used for excluding the availability of an item in one or more programmes:

SERIES/SERIE/PRODUCT_GROUPS/PRODUCT_GROUP/ITEMS/ITEM/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION_REF

The following example defines a suitable restriction which excludes the availability of an item in a programme:

 

 

Example: restriction for the assignment of item and programme

element: FEATURE_DEFINITION/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION

<RESTRICTIONS>

  <RESTRICTION RESTRICTION_NO="A1">

    <FEATURE_REF FEATURE_NO="1"/>

    <OPTION_REF OPTION_NO="A1" FEATURE_NO="1"/>

    <TEST_ID>0</TEST_ID>

  </RESTRICTION>

</RESTRICTIONS>

 

The above mentioned restriction defines an illegal combination of feature No. and option No. for the referenced features. The corresponding feature definition is:

 

The referenced programme feature:

 

element: FEATURE_DEFINITION/FEATURES/FEATURE

 

<FEATURE FEATURE_NO="1">

  <OPTIONS>

    <OPTION OPTION_NO="A1" FEATURE_NO="1">

      <STYLE_REF STYLE_NO="A1"/>

    </OPTION>

  </OPTIONS>

</FEATURE>

 

 

Used programme feature:

 

element: FEATURE_DEFINITION/OPTION_DEFINITION

 

<OPTION_DEFINITION>

  <STYLE STYLE_NO="A1">

    <STYLE_NAME>Paris</STYLE_NAME>

  </STYLE>

</OPTION_DEFINITION>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catalogue structure

IDM 2.8.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Catalogue structure

 

Catalogue and element structure

 

The general catalogue structure of the database is built up as follows:

 

 

Pict.1 – Catalogue structure of databases

 

This catalogue structure is represented by the following element hierarchy in the IDM scheme:

 

Pict. 1 – Element hierarchy of the IDM scheme

The element SERIE is used for defining the properties of a series. The element RESTRICTION_REF  assigns features to a series by means of restrictions. Within one series different produkt groups (PRODUCT_GROUPS) are defined which combine all items with similar features to one group. As items are child elements of the element SERIE they are automatically assigned to this series.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Referencing

IDM 2.8.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Referencing

 

Referencing of elements

 

The IDM scheme defines references between different elements. Information about these references is stored in a central data area. Multiple use of this information from different data areas is achieved via references. The type of reference which is used in the IDM scheme is described as follows:

 

Terminology

 

the following terms for references are used in the IDM scheme:

 

Key-Element

a XML element which is referenced by other elements.

Ref-Element

a XML element which references other elements.

 

Reference operation

 

A key element is identified unambiguously by its attributes. The Ref-element possesses at least the key-attributes of the key-element. A reference between the elements is defined by congruent attributes values of ref- and key-element.

 

Example: Referencing of a series from an item

The following example shows the way in which way an item (ITEM) references a series (SERIE). Only an abstract of the XML elements is shown here.

 

 Key-element

T_NEW_CATALOG/SERIES/SERIE

 

<SERIES>

  <SERIE SERIE_NO="1"/> … </SERIE>

  <SERIE SERIE_NO="2"/> … </SERIE>

  <SERIE SERIE_NO="3"/> … </SERIE>

  . . .

  <SERIE SERIE_NO="99"/> … </SERIE>

</SERIES>

 

Ref-element

T_NEW_CATALOG/SERIES/SERIE/PRODUCT_GROUPS/PRODUCT_GROUP/ITEMS/ITEM

 

<ITEMS>

             <ITEM SERIE_NO="1"   . . . />

     . . .

</ITEMS>

 

 

 

Example: Referencing of a feature

In the following example a feature is referenced by a restriction.

 

Key-element

T_NEW_CATALOG/FEATURE_DEFINITION/FEATURES/FEATURE/OPTIONS/OPTION

 

<FEATURES>

  <FEATURE FEATURE_NO="400"> <!-- Sockelausführung -->

    <OPTIONS>

      <OPTION OPTION_KEY="1" FEATURE_NO="400"> … </OPTION>

      <OPTION OPTION_KEY="2" FEATURE_NO="400"> … </OPTION>

      <OPTION OPTION_KEY="3" FEATURE_NO="400"> … </OPTION>

    </OPTIONS>

  </FEATURE>

  <FEATURE FEATURE_NO="401"> <!-- Sockelfarbe -->

    <OPTIONS>

      <OPTION OPTION_KEY="1" FEATURE_NO="401"> … </OPTION>

      <OPTION OPTION_KEY="2" FEATURE_NO="401"> … </OPTION>

      <OPTION OPTION_KEY="3" FEATURE_NO="401"> … </OPTION>

    </OPTIONS>

  </FEATURE>

</FEATURES>

 

The XML elements define for feature type 400  (FEATURE) three options (OPTION) numbered 1-3 and for the feature type 401 three options with numbers 1-3. A feature is identified by the combination of FEATURE_NO and OPTION_KEY.

 

Ref-element

T_NEW_CATALOG/FEATURE_DEFINITION/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION/OPTION_REF

 

<RESTRICTION RESTRICTION_NO="1">

   <OPTION_COMBINATION>

       <OPTION_REF OPTION_KEY="1" FEATURE_NO="400"/>

       <OPTION_REF OPTION_KEY="3" FEATURE_NO="401"/>

       <OPTION_REF OPTION_KEY="3" FEATURE_NO="400"/>

       <OPTION_REF OPTION_KEY="3" FEATURE_NO="401"/>

    </OPTION_COMBINATION>

  <TEST_ID>1</TEST_ID>

</RESTRICTION>

 

The XML elements define a restriction for legal combinations (TEST_ID = 1) for the plinth features ( FEATURE_NO=400 ) and plinth colours (FEATURE_NO=401) The ref-element OPTION_REF with the attributes highlighted in grey, reference the key-element OPTION.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Restrictions

IDM 2.8.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Restrictions

 

Definition and assignment of restrictions

 

The validity of restrictions may be series specific or comprehensive, programme specific or item specific. The priority of a restriction corresponds with the hierarchy level series -> programme -> item on which the restriction is defined. A restriction defined on item level overrides a restriction which is defined on programme level. Overriding restrictions may only define additional restrictions but not reverse previous restrictions. Example: the availability of an item in a programme is excluded by a restriction defined on item level. A restriction defined on item level may not reverse this exclusion.

 

First, the restrictions are defined and in a second step they are assigned to series, programmes and items. Definition

 

Definition of restrictions

 

Restrictions are defined in the following element:

 

FEATURE_DEFINITION/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION

Ein Bild, das Text enthält.

Automatisch generierte Beschreibung

 

The element RESTRICTION references the feature combinations for which the restrictions have been defined. The element OPTION_REF references the feature combinations which are subject to control procedures. The element TEST_ID defines a feature combination as legal or illegal combination.

 

Example: definition of restrictions

 

<RESTRICTIONS>

  <RESTRICTION RESTRICTION_NO="523" FEATURE_1_NO="100" FEATURE2_NO="101">

   <OPTION_COMBINATION>

      <OPTION_REF OPTION_NO="LA" FEATURE_NO="100"/> #lacquered

      <OPTION_REF OPTION_NO="RO" FEATURE_NO="101"/> # red

   </OPTION_COMBINATION>

   <OPTION_COMBINATION>

      <OPTION_REF OPTION_NO="LA" FEATURE_NO="100"/> # lacquered

      <OPTION_REF OPTION_NO="GR" FEATURE_NO="101"/> # green

   </OPTION_COMBINATION>

    <OPTION_COMBINATION>

      <OPTION_REF OPTION_NO="FU" FEATURE_NO="100"/> # veneered

      <OPTION_REF OPTION_NO="BU" FEATURE_NO="101"/> # beech

    </OPTION_COMBINATION>

    <TEST_ID>1</TEST_ID>

  </RESTRICTION>

</RESTRICTIONS>

 

The above mentioned example shows a restriction which defines a legal feature combination of „front finish" (No. 100) and "front colour" (No. 101). According to the above mentioned restriction the combinations lacquer-red, lacquer-green and beech veneer are permitted (TEST_ID = 1). The listing of permitted combinations (OPTION_REF) has to be in accordance with the sequence defined by the attributes in the element RESTRICTION (FEATURE_1_NO, FEATURE_2_NO)

 

For the purpose of unique and unambiguous identification of a restrictrion a RESTRICTION_NO) is assigned.

 

 

Assignment of restrictions

 

Series independent restriction

 

Series independent restrictions are assigned by the following elements:

 

SERIES/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION_REF

 

Ein Bild, das Text enthält.

Automatisch generierte Beschreibung

 

As the element RESTRICTION_REF is a child element of SERIES/RESTRICTIONS, all restrictions referenced in the element RESTRICTION_REF are assigned to all series which are defined in SERIES/SERIE.

 

Example: Series independent assignment of restrictions

 

<SERIES>

 <RESTRICTIONS>

             <RESTRICTION_REF SEQUENCE="1" RESTRICTION_NO="523"/>

             <RESTRICTION_REF SEQUENCE="2" RESTRICTION_NO="678"/>

 </RESTRICTIONS>

</SERIES>

 

In the above mentioned example the restrictions 523 and 678 are referenced and assigned to all series.

 

 

 

Series specific assignment

 

The rules for a series specific assignment of restrictions correspond to that of series independent assignment. the following element is used for the series-specific assignment:

 

SERIES/SERIE/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION_REF

 

The restrictions referenced in the element RESTRICTION_REF are assigned to that series in which the reference was made.

 

Restrictions which are assigned to programmes are one-level restrictions, containing only the feature No. 1( programme). These restrictions are mandatory if series > 0 and feature No. 1 is defined in the database.

 

Example: Series-specific assignment of restrictions

 

<SERIES>

             <SERIE SERIE_NO="2">

   <RESTRICTIONS>

                         <RESTRICTION_REF SEQUENCE="1" RESTRICTION_NO="45"/>

                         <RESTRICTION_REF SEQUENCE="2" RESTRICTION_NO="67"/>

   </RESTRICTIONS>

             </SERIE>

             <SERIE SERIE_NO="7">

   <RESTRICTIONS>

                         <RESTRICTION_REF SEQUENCE="1" RESTRICTION_NO="45"/>

                         <RESTRICTION_REF SEQUENCE="2" RESTRICTION_NO="123"/>

  </RESTRICTIONS>

             </SERIE>

</SERIES>

 

In the above mentioned example restrictions 45 and 67 are assigned to series "2" and restrictions 45 and 123 are assigned to series "7".

 

Item specific assignment

 

A programme specific assignment of restrictions is defined in the following element:

 

SERIES/SERIE/PRODUCT_GROUPS/PRODUCT_GROUP/ITEMS/ITEM/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION_REF

 

For item specific assignment the sames rules as for series or programme specific assignment apply.

 

If no restrictions are assigned to an item, this item is available without any restriction regarding series or programme.

 

Product group specific assignment

 

The product group specific assignment of restrictions is defined in the following element:

 

SERIES/SERIE/PRODUCT_GROUPS/PRODUCT_GROUP/RESTRICTIONS/RESTRICTION_REF

 

The rules for a product group specific assignment of restrictions correspond with the rules for series and programme specific assignment.

 

 

Data types

IDM 2.8.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Datatypes

 

Data types and value ranges

 

The IDM schema used the data types defined in the standard XML schema 1.0 second edition (28 October 2004).

 

The following data types are used:

boolean

This data type maps the logical values "true" or "false". In accordance with the W3C recommendation for XML schemas, the values that can be used in the IDM are true/false or 1/0.

date

In the IDM, the data type date is used in conformity with the XML schemas as follows:

 

YYYY-MM-DD

YYYY = year, MM = month, DD = day

dateTime

In the IDM, the data type dateTime is used in conformity with the XML schemas as follows:

 

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ

YYYY = year, MM = month, DD = day

T = Start of time information

hh = hour, mm = minute, ss = second

Z = UTC time

gYear

In the IDM, the data type dateTime is used in conformity with the XML schemas as follows:

 

YYYY

integer

Numbers can be positive and negative integers.

nonNegativeInteger

Value is a positive integer, including 0

positiveInteger

Value is a positive integer, excluding 0

decimal

The data type is used in the IDM for floating-point values. Floating-point values for this data type are, as recommended by the W3C, stored as 126.56 or 45.98000 or +27.0.

string

A limited number of alphanumeric characters and special characters.

anyURI

The data type is used in the IDM for mapping URLs.anyURI represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The lexical part of anyURI is an indefinite sequence of characters that correspond to a legal URI. An anyURI value can be absolute or relative and may contain fragment codes (e.g. an URI reference).

language

The data type is used for the specification of valid language codes in the IDM.language represents codes for natural languages Tags for the Identification of Languagesas defined in the Thevaluerangeof language is the quantum of all character sequences that represent a valid code of a natural language. For ISO languages, the format consists of a sequence of 2-3 lower case letters optionally followed by a hyphen and a country code consisting of 2 upper case letters, e.g. en-US.

 

 

The value ranges of the above data types are usually restricted for the elements in the IDM. The "restrictions" in the data type definition contains restrictions for minimum and maximum values, permitted characters and value lists.

 

In the XML documentation of the IDM, the value ranges are specified by the information coming after M and P.

 

In addition to XML data types mentioned here, separate data types are defined for the texts.

 

They are explained at the end of the documentation.

Explanations for the IDM documentation

 

This paragraph contains explanations for the documentation of the IDM scheme.

Meaning of element properties

Each element is documented with a description and its properties. The following example shows an element description:

EXCHANGE_ID_NO Attribute Collapse All  

 

Description   

This attribute identifies an exchange-ID.

   D   nonNegativeInteger
   P   [0-9]|[1-8][0-9]|9[89]
   M   [0:99]

 

The properties of the element are listed on the right side. The following abbreviations are used:

 

D

Documentation of the data type for the element. If no value is set here, the element does not contain user data but further child elements.

P

The values P and M are used to define the range of values. The regular term in P defines the number of legal values.

M

M defines the minium and maximum value in the range of legal values. In a string data type P defines the legal values and M defines the minimum and maximum length of the string.

 

For numerical data types M defines the minimum and maximum value.
