FpML Issues Tracker

This section of the Architecture Spec should be updated:

2.3.10 Annotation

Designers of FpML XML schemata SHOULD embed documentation within their schema components to enable the production of documentation automatically from the schema source. XML schema allows multiple annotations for each component differentiated by the ‘xml:lang’ attribute and designers MAY provide multi-lingual text.

We could update it to:

2.3.10 Annotation

Designers of FpML XML schemata MUST embed documentation within their schema components to enable the production of documentation automatically from the schema source. All global types and elements MUST have a definition. XML schema allows multiple annotations for each component differentiated by the ‘xml:lang’ attribute and designers MAY provide multi-lingual text.

The update for 2.3.10 Annotation section of Architecture rules will be published with the next 4.3 publication.
