The model for schema enabled presentation and validation of code list for country code, languages and content domains is based on the OASIS UBL recommendation “Universal Business Language (UBL) Code List Rules”
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/ndrsc/archive/wd-ublndrsc-codelist-01.pdf)
The UBL Code List Rules recommend the “Multiple Namespace Types Method”
whereby the elements that represent a code from a particular list are bound to types that may have come from an external organization’s schema module.
The instance of each code instance is related by namespace to the validating schema document e.g.:
<doc xmlns:iso3166="http://example.iso.org/schemas/CountryCodesISO3166.xsd"> <langCode> <iso3166:CodeContentType>US</iso3166:CodeContentType> </langCode> </doc>
The Translation Web Services specification defines the following code verification schemas:
