Summary

AdditionalData is undefined. It should be defined. Add a definition.

How can I tell what is AddationalData and what is non-additional data? How do I know whether my data is additional or not? NB I am not asking about the elements that use additional data, but about which elements should have a type of additional data.

Notes:

    My first shot for a definition:

    Provides extra information not represented in the model that may be useful in processing the message i.e. diagnosing the reason for failure.

    In case the extra information is in XML format, a CDATA section must be placed around the source message to prevent its interpretation as XML content.

    Agreed at AWG 28/6/2007 to:

    1. Replace additionalDataScheme with MIMEType
    2. Promote MIMEType from fpml-credit-event-notification to fpml-shared
    3. Inline the AdditionalData definition into its current usage and eliminate the AdditionalData complex type.
    4. Marc to present a proposal for the solution at the next AWG.

    AWG 2007-07-05: Need to distinguish between xsd:hexBinary and xsd:base64Binary. Look at the core data types for including them.

    Documentation has been added to the trunk for 4.3. New model needs to be developed for 5.0.

    The content in 5.0 should distinguish between xsd:hexBinary and xsd:base64Binary

    Provides extra information not represented in the model that may be useful in processing the message i.e. diagnosing the reason for failure.





    Provides extra information as string. In case the extra information is in XML format, a CDATA section must be placed around the source message to prevent its interpretation as XML content.




    Provides extra information as binary contents coded in hexadecimal.




    Provides extra information as binary contents coded in base64.






    Indicates the type of media used to provide the extra information. mimeType is used to determine the software product(s) that can read the content. MIME Types are described in RFC 2046.

    The proposal has been modified slightly defining mimeType as an element instead of being attribute. This is to make it consistent with the rest of FpML, where it is defined as an element. The MimeType was defined as a complex type, not a simple type, since it contains a scheme attribute to qualify the source of the MIME type values.
