This schema defines the proposed industry standard for describing furniture items in a furniture catalog. Documents based on this schema can describe both casegoods and custom order upholstery. Get access to the © Get access to ItemType element from ItemAlignment.xsd Enumerated type with list of item classes Item containing some details about the vendor's trade practices. Often times this information is printed in the front of the paper price book. Title of the information item. Examples: "Terms and Conditions", "Warranty Information". Text description of what the information is about. Actual text information Enumerated type with list of item classes Represents open or close paren for expressions Defines a file that may be contain printable or viewable information associated with the catalog. A logical operator: OR or AND Arithmetic operator An operator that compares 2 items together Definition of an id as used to identify any item in the catalog Dimensions of a graphic image Specifies the units used in the dimensions: pixels or DPI. Represents a graphic image related to any appropriate element in the product catalog Description of the image. This can be a description of the content of the image or any other author-defined description. Any number of dimension elements to describe the extents of the image. The units of each dimension element are unique. XLink to the image Simple URI string representing location of image Future XLink image link Specifies min and max quantities sold for an item Certain trade characteristics Specifies certain measurements for an item Predefined list of industry attribute types. Defines clear mapping of component attributes without imposing a vocabulary Specification of how one productID is affixed to another. INNER insertions are where the productID is inserted before some existing character in the host productID. OUTER insertions are where the productID is appended to the end of the host productID. Type of insertion to occur. INNER means the insertion will be before one of the existing characters in the original productID. Specifies the 0-based index within the original productID where the affixed productID will be inserted. Ignored for OUTER insertions. Defines the order in which multiple productID's are inserted to the same index. Lower priority values are inserted first. Used as the name of a group of attributes Assigns an attribute value to an item with optional expression info For attribute values that involve a measurement, this is the actual value of the measurement but formatted as the catalog producer wishes to display it. Actual floating version of the measurement. Attribute comparison atom used to build more complex expressions Attribute involved in the expression Numeric constant used when the attribute represents a numeric measurement Specifies how the attribute of the target must relate to the attribute in the expression. For non-numeric attributes, only equal and not-equal are valid. Complex logical expression involving attributes Value of some attribute. May be a predefined value or assigned directly to an item. The "class" attribute is used to positively identify certain mappable information items. The "isMetaData" attribute specifies if the attribute is really a physical attribute of the item to which it is assigned or is used as a means of grouping items within the document structure. Associates the attribute to a group of attributes under this name Actual value for the attribute. Stored as text. Some attributes may be numerically assisted. This means they have a numeric value as well as a text value. Text describing what the attribute means. Typically viewed by end users. Maps one or more values to another value If present, the source attributes are assumed to be sub-attributes of this attribute. 1 or more source values. Table of all item attributes and values. Attributes are properties or characteristics that are assigned to items, options or materials to better describe them or provide search criteria. Any number of attributes. Attributes are properties or characteristics that describe an item, option or material. Any number of attribute groups Any number of predefined attribute values. This table will represent predefined values for one or more of the attributes defined in the table above. Values are predefined so that they may be assigned to items simply by ID. This provides consistency and efficiency in the implemenation. Any number of attribute values The value map contains a list of value map entries. Each entry maps one or more source attribute values to one destination value. This is useful in combining many itemTypes into one parent itemType. One entry in the value map. Maps one or more source values to one destination value. tests are logical expressions that govern pricing and configuration. Descriptive name for the test used for administrative purposes. Criteria to be tested to determine the value of the test (true or false) Assigns a test via its id to some sequence. id - Identifier of the assigned test in the test table. positive - If "true", the test is checked for positive result, otherwise the negative is tested. A test criterion is test or check for some existing condition in the configuration of a component. The condition tested for may be based on one of the following methods specified in the "qualifier" attribute: 1) exists - checks for the existence of a part or parts being filled by a componentwith some set of characteristics. 2) countComponents - counts the number of unique components filling a part or parts. 3) compareComponents - compares the components filling 2 different part roles 4) compareAttributes - compares an attribute of 2 components filling 2 different part roles 5) isSubItem - checks to see if a component is filling a part role of another component. Left operand of the criterion expression. May or may be not be accompanied by a right operand. If the criterion qualifier is "compareComponents" or "compareAttributes" this second operand will be present If criterion qualifier is "compareAttributes" this element will specify what attribute will be compared Alternatively the attribute can specifed as a tag instead of a specific attribute id When a comparison is made between 2 operands this is the operator used. A logical expression involving one or more test criteria Logical operator combines criteria to create more complex and/or nested expressions Table of all tests used throughout the catalog Method for specifiying part roles We can have any number of specific part role ids followed by an optional part role attribute expression A specific part role An attribute expression representing one or more part roles Part role group(s) Specifies components that may fill part roles. All components meeting the specification are logically OR'd together. Specific component id Component attribute expression Component group(s) Specifies part roles and/or components that have filled those part roles Describes items in a uniform way. All fields to properly identify a component item Allows the use of multiple identifiers by which a single item may be known: seller assigned, buyer assigned, UPC, and Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN), and EAN. Furniture specific classification Allows the use of up to two descriptions by which a single item may be known: seller assigned and buyer assigned. Any number of attribute descriptions. Each of these can describe any aspect of the item Name of some attribute of the item Description of that attribute Defines a catalog item Any number of attribute values associated with the item. These are references to predefined attribute values in the attribute table. Defines a part role possible for any component Idenitifies the role of the part in the component's configuration. Any custom code associated with the part. Attributes assigned to the part role definition Any number of groups that the part role belongs to Represents group of part roles Table of all part role definitions used in the catalog List of part role groups. Part roles are assigned to groups inside of the individual part role elements List of part roles Assigns a part role to a component Test governing the applicability of this part Part role in the component configuration defining what is actually being done to the base component when the part is filled by a component. The minimum number of components that may fill the role defined by the part. If 0, the role is optional. If 1 or greater, the role is mandatory. The maximum number of components that may fill the role defined by the part. If NULL, there is no limit. Specify components that are valid for filling a given component's part role Number assigned to the component/part to allow processing applications to recognize the part without understanding the part role name Price for a component part. The "id" attribute specifies the part role being priced. Defines set of constraints for components that may fill a part role If the not NULL, the test must be TRUE for the constraint to be valid. Any number of constraints in the set Defines allowable components to fill a part role Can be one component designated default, optional or mandatory. Note that "default" is only valid when there is one component specified. Abstract components are not allowed. Test governing the applicability of this pricing rule Constrains how the component is available to fill the role. optional - means the component is available but not default. mandatory - means the component must fill the role. Useful in building assemblies exclude - the components specified are not available Defines component(s) allowed to fill a part role. This can be specified as component, component expression, component group or part role. When part role is specified it is stating the any component that fills the specified part role is also allowed to fill this part role. Pricing rule governing how a component part is priced Test governing the applicability of this pricing rule Specifies group number for the rule. Rules of differing group numbers do not affect each other. Rules with same group number can be overriden by a rule with an "override" qualifier even if they apply to different parts for the same base component. Only one rule per group number is applied for one part of a base component. Specifies how the rule is applied. add - Can only override rules of with the same group number and the same part. override - Overrides all rules for any part with the same group number. If present specifies a formula used to compute the price of the part. If not presetnt, the price is taken from the component part price table. Any number of prices for the rule All prices associated with a component Any number of pricing models used by the component Base prices applied before configuration or dependent on parameters Element used in building price formulas Specifies function that will be performed on the operand data Alternatively the attribute can specifed as a tag instead of a specific attribute id Operand used in price formula elements Pricing formula used in variable pricing. The "id" attribute allows it to be referenced from various pricing rules Formula may be simple or complex which means it may have nested arithmetic expressions. Formula operand Operator combines values from different formulas and/or operands Structure for specifying a quantity bound price Date this price becomes effective Date this price becomes ineffective Quantity to which the price applies Specifies the type of price Price per unit Pricing information for all components and parts Defines a possible resource for any component Text name of the resource for user identification purposes. Long description of the resource. Any number of factors that may govern how the resource amounts are calculated Optional formula used to calculate the resource amount available Factor used in determining the amount of a resource available Name of the factor. Value for the factor. The value tell us how the resource amount changes based on the factor. Expression representing possible value for a resource factor Expression governing whether the value is applicable Resulting value when applied Operand definition used to build resource formulas. The "qualifier" attribute defines what type of operand it is. constant - Simply a numeric constant consumerAmount - raw numeric amount specified by the consumer consumerAttribute - value of a consumer attribute producerAttribute - value of a producer attribute If operand type requires an attribute specification it is here Constant needed when operand type requires it IF operand type requires resource factor it is here Defines a formula that is used to calculate the resource amount Assigns a resource to some component Specifies the resource being produced or consumed. Constant amount produced or consumed. Can serve as a raw value when the consumption is variable. IF not NULL, the test must be TRUE for the resource situation to be valid. Specifies the type of production or usage of the resource for the component. produceConstant - the component produces a prespecified amount of the resource produceInputConstant - the component produces an amount that is specified by the end-user via input consumeVariable - the component produces an amount that is determined by means of a lookup table, formula user-input or all 3. consumeConstant - the component consumes a specified amount of the resource Contains resource lookup factors, values and results Represents group of components Table of all components and component groups List of component groups. Components are assigned to groups inside of the individual component elements All components in the product line One component in the product line Base item type modeled after UCC item type.
