The currency code is actually metadata about the value so, in line with good XML practice, the Currency Code is declared as an XML-Attribute of the Money datatype rather than as a separate XML-Element. The currency attribute should then include a list of valid currencies codes that are supported. A count of the number of occurrences of something - must therefore be >=0. This is the functional equivalent of the XML nonNegativeInteger datatype. A measurement of something such as a length or area. All measurements are to 2 decimal places and must be positive. A string containing a unique identifier for something. The underlying assumption is that each instance of a class or entity will have a unique identifier assigned to it which can then be assigned to any referencing entity as a reference to the entity instance. This is a very similar concept to XML ID datatype but is locally defined because of the need to extend the datatype with domain specific attributes. The Boolean datatype is a redefinition of the XML Schema defined "Boolean". The XSD version is a logical True / False datatype whereas from a data processing perspective it is more likely to be a string based Y/N value. This could be seen as an Enumerated Domain but "Boolean" is so common that it makes more sense to be a base datatype. Yes No English Welsh An extended boolean type that also allows 'unknown' as a value. String value with a language code for natural-language text. Identifies the language that the sentence is recorded in. The Report Reference Number is a 20-digit unique identifier assigned to each Report. It is formatted as five blocks of four digits i.e. 9999-9999-9999-9999-9999 and generated by an algorithm described in Appendix A "Report ID Generation" of Section 18 "Transformation Rules" of the Technical Standards.
