¶ Description of the elements
See the list of abbreviations here
| Element Element type |
Use | Description |
|---|---|---|
| reference dcc:notEmptyStringType |
[M] | Enter here the standard(s) according to which the classification of the calibration items is carried out. more information |
| classID dcc:notEmptyStringType |
[M] | This is where the classification of the calibration goods is entered. |
| dcc:link xs:anyURI |
[O] | External link to the equipment class. |
¶ Attributes
| Attribute Attribute type |
Use | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id xs:ID |
[O] | This standard XML data type is used to represent a unique ID. It is used to uniquely identify the object in the DCC. The data type xs:ID is deliberately used here because it enables validation without any add-ons in various tools. |
| refId xs:IDREFS |
[O] | IDREF represents the IDREF attribute type from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. The value space of IDREF is the set of all strings that match the NCName production in [Namespaces in XML]. The lexical space of IDREF is the set of strings that match the NCName production in [Namespaces in XML]. The base type of IDREF is NCName. |
| refType dcc:refTypesType |
[O] | A list of refTypes in XML. |
¶ Example
As an example if we would want to classify an item/ equipment in regard to BIPM Classification of services in mass and related quantities[1] as a force measuring device for tension:
<dcc:equipmentClass>
<dcc:reference>BIPM Classification of services in mass and related quantities</dcc:reference>
<dcc:classID>4.1.1</dcc:classID>
