Basic structure of the IDM scheme

Modification IDM 3.0.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Basic structure of the IDM scheme

The main element T_MODIFY_CATALOG defines that a modification file for a complete catalogue data pool is made available.

XML files must be UTF-8 encrypted.

 

The IDM schema is subdivided in data ranges that are specified in the subsequent child-elements (see figure 1) in T_MODIFY_CATALOG.

 

 

Figure 1 - child elements in T_NEW_CATALOG

 

The data ranges are not used in isolation from each other. In some data ranges, data is initially created and used from other data ranges via referencing.

 

Description of the data ranges

 

CATALOG

Administrative information about the data pool is specified in CATALOG. E.g. the version of the data format, release date or the unique identification of the data pool.

 

REF_CATALOG

Information about the main catalogue is stored in REF_CATAG.

 

SERIES

SERIES is used to store the data for the description of the items. Items are combined into product groups, such as base units or shelf units.

 

 

FEATURE_DEFINITION

The version information is specified in FEATURE_DEFINITION The specified data are the modifications from the main catalogue.

 

 

PRICE_DEFINITION

The price information is specified in PRICE_DEFINITION. The information relates on e.g. modified price fields from the main catalogue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catalogue structure

Modification IDM 3.0.1 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

Modification IDM 3.0.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Introduction > Referencing

 

Referencing of elements

 

The IDM schema establishes relationships between elements and defines information at a central point which are used on multiple occasions in another position. The reuse of the information and the structure of element relationships takes place via referencing. The type of referencing used in the IDM schema is described in the following.

 

Definition of terms

 

The IDM schema uses the following terms for the referencing of elements:

 

Key-Element

an XML element which is referenced by other elements.

Ref-Element

an XML element which references other elements.

 

Reference procedure

 

The key element has attributes that allow for its unequivocal identification. The ref element has at least the key attributes of the key element. The reference in which the attribute values of the ref element are identical to those of the key element is established between the elements.

 

Example: referencing of a version

 

The following example shows how to newly reference a version from a design range.

 

Key-element

T_MODIFY_CATALOG/FEATURE_DEFINITION/FEATURES/FEATURE/OPTIONS/OPTION

 

<FEATURES>

  <FEATURE FEATURE_NO="400"> <!—Plinth finish -->

    <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"> <!—Plinth colour -->

    <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>

 

For version type 400 (FEATURE),FEATUREthe XML elements define three versions (OPTION) numbered 1-3, as well as three versions numbered 1-3 for version type 401. A version is identified via the combination FEATURE_NO and OPTION_KEY.

Data types

Modification IDM 3.0.1 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 gYear 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.

The following is recommended for the file name associated with a data record:

·        The name of the data record must not be limited to 8 characters.

·        If possible, all components from the CATALOG_IDENTIFICATION should be used:

·        The following components are suggested:

·        Manufacturer number

·        IDM version

·        Customer number (value from the ASSOC_CTM_NO element)

·        All languages

·        Year

Special colours

IDM 3.0.1 XML-Schema Documentation

 

Best Practice > Special colours

 

Not all possible spot colours can be created individually in an IDM catalogue.

Therefore, it is necessary to define a structure that enables the planning systems to show the applicable special colours.

For this purpose, a option is to be created for each standardised colour scheme, e.g. RAL, NCS, SIKKENS, etc. 

 

 

 

 

Example 1:

 

The supplier offers a desired colour in the RAL and NCS colour schemes for various design elements.

 

Correct:

 

Ein Bild, das Text enthält.

Automatisch generierte Beschreibung

 

Wrong:

 

Ein Bild, das Text enthält.

Automatisch generierte Beschreibung

 

 

 

 

 

Example 2:

 

The supplier offers the RAL, NCS and SIKKENS colour schemes. Depending on the model and texture, there are separate OPTION_KEYs for each scheme.

 

Correct:

 

Ein Bild, das Text enthält.

Automatisch generierte BeschreibungEin Bild, das Text enthält.

Automatisch generierte Beschreibung

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example 3:

 

The supplier offers a desired colour in the RAL and SIKKENS colour schemes for various surface structures, but only differentiates between the surfaces in the variants.

 

Wrong:

children SignedInfo SignatureValue
annotation
documentation
This element defines the type of encryption.

The root element of a digital signature via XML is represented by the element Signature.           

Signature has two child elements in which the elements SignedInfo and SignatureValue are mandatory.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo

diagram index_diagrams/index_p3.png
properties
content complex
children CanonicalizationMethod SignatureMethod Reference
annotation
documentation
The first and most complex element of Signature is the element SignedInfo. This element contains the utilized algorithms for canonization and signature, one or more references to the signed data, and probable transformations as well as the hash values of these data. Moreover the element SignedInfo contains all relevant information about the resources which are signed and is therefore the part for which the digital signature is defined.

Digital signature of the algorithms is used for the purpose of data security. A secure algorithm cannot be exchanged by an insecure without cancellation of the signature.

Child elements of SignedInfo are the mandatory elements  CanonizationMethod and SignatureMethod as well as one or more Reference elements.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/CanonicalizationMethod
diagram index_diagrams/index_p4.png
type extension of xs:string
properties
content complex
annotation
documentation
The mandatory element CanonizationMethod contains an Algorithm attribute which identifies the canonization algorithm which is applied to the data with priority over signature evaluation in the element SignedInfo.

The canonization of an XML is split up into the following actions:

- A document is encoded into UTF-8 format
- Line breaks are normalised to #xA before parsing
- The values of attributes are normalised (similar to validating parsers)
- Character- and parsed-entity references are replaced
- CDATA paragraphs are replaced by their contents
- The XML declaration and a probably existing DTD are removed
- Blank elements are converted to start-end-tag pairs
- Whitespace outside of the document element and inside the start- and end-tags is normalised
- Whitespace in text knots is kept (except signs which were removed by the normalisation of line breaks)
- The values of attributes are given in double quotation marks
- Special characters in attribute values and text knots are replaced by sign references
- Redundant namespace declarations in front of each element are removed
- Default attributes are added to the elements
- The sort order of namespace declarations and attributes is alphanumeric

attribute T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/CanonicalizationMethod/@Algorithm
type xs:anyURI
annotation
documentation
This attribute identifies the Canonization-algorithm, which is applied to data with priority over the signature calculation in the element SignedInfo. The specification is given by an URI.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/SignatureMethod
diagram index_diagrams/index_p5.png
type extension of xs:string
properties
content complex
annotation
documentation
SignatureMethod is another mandatory, blank element with an algorithm attribute, which defines the algorithm used for the generation (and following the validation) of the signature. This algorithm is used for converting the canonical element SignedInfo into the element SignatureValue.

attribute T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/SignatureMethod/@Algorithm
type xs:anyURI
annotation
documentation
This attribute is used for defining an algorithm for the generation of a signature which is defined by an URI.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference
diagram index_diagrams/index_p6.png
properties
content complex
children Transforms DigestMethod DigestValue
annotation
documentation
The element reference defines the random data (binary data permitted, too) which are included in the signature calculation. The element reference is therefore the core element of a signature.

XML-signatures never sign the resources directly. First a list of hash values is generated. This list is signed with the defined algorithm. In this way the process of the signature generation is accelerated and simplified as a number of resources is signed simultaneously.

The element reference is linked to the optional attribute URI.

attribute T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference/@URI
type xs:string
annotation
documentation
The type of the attribute URI is that of anyURI and contains the address of the data which have to be signed. It is not necessary that the data which the digital signature refers to are part of the element signature. The data can be referenced by a local file system or an hyperlink.

Moreover there are URI which refer to the current document ,e.g. URI="". This special type of Uniform Resource Identifier represents all XML knots of the current XML document but without probable comments. The knots which belong to a signature are part of repertory.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference/Transforms
diagram index_diagrams/index_p7.png
properties
content complex
children Transform
annotation
documentation
The element transforms defines the type of transformation in the child element transform. The hash value is calculated from the result of the transformation.       

The element transforms consists of an algorithm attribute in combination with the transformation algorithm.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference/Transforms/Transform
diagram index_diagrams/index_p8.png
type extension of xs:string
properties
content complex
annotation
documentation
The element transform defines the type of transformation. It consists of an Algorithm Attribute with the applicable transformation algorithm.

attribute T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference/Transforms/Transform/@Algorithm
type xs:anyURI
annotation
documentation
This attribute is used for defining a transformation algorithm by means of an URI.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference/DigestMethod
diagram index_diagrams/index_p9.png
type extension of xs:string
properties
content complex
annotation
documentation
The blank, mandatory element DigestMethod contains only an URI in the algorithm attribute. This is used for identifying the message digest algorithm.

attribute T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference/DigestMethod/@Algorithm
type xs:anyURI
annotation
documentation
This attribute is used for defining the URI which identifies the message digest algorithm.

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignedInfo/Reference/DigestValue
diagram index_diagrams/index_p10.png
type xs:string
properties
content simple
annotation
documentation
The algorithm defined in the element DigestMethod is used for calculating the DigestValue, which is a unique hash value of the signed object and saved in base-64 encoding format. The hash value is a kind of digital finger print, in general it is shorter than the data which were signed. In this way the following steps of digital signature are accelerated. It is almost impossible to infer the original message from the given hash value.  

element T_MODIFY_CATALOG/Signature/SignatureValue

diagram index_diagrams/index_p11.png
type xs:string
properties
content simple
annotation
documentation
The element SignatureValue contains the binary hash value of the signature (always Base-64 encoded) calculated over the complete element SignedInfo . This hash value is given according to the algorithm defined in the element SignatureMethod and calculated from the canonized data and the private key. In this way it is not the message itself which is signed but only its (normally shorter) hash value ( Hash-Then-Sign Paradigma).

The signed data contain all information about the signed references and their hash values. Therefore it is not necessary that the data themselves are available in the document. All information about the utilized algorithms are part of the signature generation and subsequent manipulations are avoided.

As all references are summarized before the signature generation the complete signature has always exactly one SignatureValue element.
