However, having said that, it's not as easy as it sounds. Take the Element "Identifier" in Lom->General, for example;_ In IMS binding, "Identifier" is a leaf element (no children) and can occur 0 or 1 times. In IEEE, "Identifier" is a container Element for "catalog" and "entry" and can occur 0 or unbounded times. In UKCMF, "Identifier" is as IEEE but is Mandatory, 1 or more times. So, as an implementor this is what I'm facing: 1. I can't use the IEEE Schema as my data model because it's not ready yet. 2. If I use the IMS Schema then I can't map it onto UKCMF because it's quite different, as my example shows. I suppose I can try and use the closest mapping between UKCMF and IMS binding for now?

I'm using the IMS binding for now until the IEEE one settles down. Should be interesting to see it in action... He said, hopefully....back to the code mines.... Phil BTW - The "UKCMF". I can't help but refer to it as the "UMRK", the "Utility Muffin Research Kitchen", the name Frank Zappa gave to his recording studio. :-) Phillip Beauvoir RELOAD Project Bolton Institute [log in to unmask] www.reload.ac.uk
