Description
As a test, this zip file contains a new version of the DE 2.0 which includes the schema, examples, specification and DE 2.0 Basics white paper, all updated with the following changes:
(a) all element names begin with lowercase, in accordance with EM TC naming guidance;
(b) the community extension mechanism is enabled, utilizing the EDXLExtension.xsd schema as discussed and developed in support of the Tracking of Emergency Patients (TEP) standard;
(c) the "choice" mechanism for enabling defaults in the previous version, along with the defaults schema, have been removed in favor of utilizing enumerations in the body of the standard (whenever an element has a reasonable set of default values) and then recommending the use of the community extension mechanism for those users who wish to include community-specific terms.
The purpose of this version is to allow review of how the DE 2.0 would look and work when modified to utilize the community extension mechanism and latest associated guidance. Significant formatting simplification is achieved in the main body of the standard and a tricky namespace issue is avoided.
