Data Format Description Language (DFDL) v1.0 Specification
OGF Proposed Recommendation GFD-P-R.174, January 31, 2011
The ‘representation’ property identifies the physical representation of the element. The DFDL logical types are grouped to illustrate which physical representations apply to each logical type.
These properties provide the correct interpretation of the data found in the SimpleContent grammar region.
The allowable physical representations for each logical type grouping are also shown, where the logical type groupings are defined as:
Logical type group |
types |
---|---|
Number |
xs:double, xs:float, xs:decimal, xs:integer and its restrictions (xs:int, xs:unsignedLong, etc.) |
String |
xs:string |
Calendar |
xs:dateTime, xs:date, xs:time |
Opaque |
xs:hexBinary |
Boolean |
xs:Boolean |
