Circular Reference

• ID: 5
• Date Added: 2004-08-30
• Severity: Low
• Version: wd-fpml-4-1-2004-07-19
• Location: fpml-doc-4-1.xsd, fpml-posttrade-4-1.xsd

Description:

There is a circular reference between fpml-doc-4-1.xsd and fpml-posttrade-4-1.xsd. This means that fpml-doc-4-1.xsd is including fpml-posttrade-4-1.xsd and at the same time, fpml-posttrade-4-1.xsd is including fpml-doc-4-1.xsd. XML editors such as TurboXML complain about the existence of circular references, not considering the subschema files as valid.

Disposition:

The inclusion of fpml-posttrade-4-1.xsd within fpml-doc-4-1.xsd will be eliminated.
This will be corrected in the Last Call Working Draft. The schema will be updated.

BusinessCentersOrReference group

• ID: 6
• Date Added: 2004-09-17
• Severity: Low
• Version: wd-fpml-4-1-2004-07-19
• Location: fpml-shared-4-1.xsd

Description:

The use of the BusinessCentersOrReference group is not completely consistent. The types BusinessDateRange and BusinessDayAdjustments have an xsd:choice element with minOccurs=”0” containing the group. The xsd:choice is not needed since these two types could just use the model group with minOccurs=”0”.

Disposition:

The xsd:choice will be removed. BusinessDateRange and BusinessDayAdjustments will use the BusinessCentersOrReference group with minOccurs=”0”.
This will be corrected in the Last Call Working Draft. The schema will be updated.

---

• Severity: Low
• Version: wd-fpml-4-1-2004-07-19
• Location: fpml-shared-4-1.xsd

Description:

The RelativeDateSequence type could use the BusinessCentersOrReference group instead of replicating its content model.

Disposition:

The existing xsd:choice structure will be replaced by the BusinessCenterOrReference group with minOccurs=”0”.
This will be corrected in the Last Call Working Draft. The schema will be updated.

---

• ID: 8
