Information Object

1
Information Object

• Information Object is a generic container of
  exchange within an infosphere
• An Information Object Consitsts of
• Type Name Identifier
• MetaData Catalog and information container
• Payload Generic container that can hold any
  digital information (Optional)
• Transparent Changes to Schema and Metadata for
  baseObject utilization within the infosphere
• Easily Utilize Metadata Schema from Any Community
  as an Information Object
• Clients have option to utilize with baseobject
  specific Metadata constraints if desired
  (publication time e.g.)

2
baseObject Syntax

• All elements within baseobject are controlled and
  entered automatically by the information
  management infrastructure

baseObj Schema

• ltxsdschema xmlnsxsd"http//www.w3.org/2001/XMLS
  chema" elementFormDefault"qualified"gt
• ltxsdcomplexType name"BaseObjectData"gt
• ltxsdallgt
• ltxsdelement name"InfoObjectType"gt
• ltxsdcomplexTypegt
• ltxsdsequencegt
• ltxsdelement name"Name" type"xsdstring"/gt
  
• ltxsdelement name"MajorVersion"
  type"xsdpositiveInteger"/gt
• ltxsdelement name"MinorVersion"
  type"xsdnonNegativeInteger"/gt

IOType injected in MSR

• Parent types are allowed and not referenced in
  schema. The associated parent metadata tags and
  structure are not required as part of the
  object schema
• Example

• ltxsdschema elementFormDefault"qualified"
  attributeFormDefault"unqualified"
  xmlnsxsd"http//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"gt
• ltxsdcomplexType name"ImageData"gt
• ltxsdsequencegt
• ltxsdelement name"name" type"xsdstring"/gt
• ltxsdelement name"description"
  type"xsdstring"/gt
• ltxsdelement name"priority"
  type"xsdnonNegativeInteger" minOccurs"0"/gt
• ltxsdelement name"size" type"xsdnonNegativeI
  nteger" minOccurs"0"/gt
• lt/xsdsequencegt
• lt/xsdcomplexTypegt
• lt/xsdschemagt

5
New IOType injected in MSR

• New type is injected as a complete Independent
  schema
• All types have implied baseObject root ancestor
• setParent Used to Create Complex Hieratical root
  ancestors
• Benefits
• Guarantees consistency of schema content
• Hieratical Structure captured for relational
  operations
• Direct Use and Application of All Metadata
  Communities
• Metadata Example result
