XSD files

XML file schema files

The various XML files that you will find in the CBD datasets are linked to definition files (XSD) allowing several levels of validation and consistency:
• Statec_cdb_mass_xsd_hierarchical_v1.0
• Statec_cdb_mass_xsd_data_type_hierarchical_v1.0
• Statec_cdb_mass_xsd_assertions_hierarchical_v1.0
• Statec_cdb_mass_xsd_cancellation_v1.0

These schema files also aim to make it easier for you to integrate and operate this data in XML format in an IT system.

On the dataset “Annual accounts”

— Declaration files “deposit_YYYQX.xml” are linked to schema “statec_cdb_mass_xsd_hierarchical_v1.0.xsd” which includes a portion of metadata and a list of declarations.

— The complexity of the declarations involves the use of a second XSD “statec_cdb_mass_xsd_data_type_hierarchical_v1.0.xsd” which defines the different formats, types and lists of allowed values.

— The consistency of the amounts, given the proposed hierarchical format, implies the use of a third XSD “statec_cdb_mass_xsd_assertions_hierarchical_v1.0.xsd” which verifies the different amounts in absolute and relative terms.

Concerning the dataset “Cancelled Deposits”

— Files of cancelled repositories “cancellations-2012-202YQX.xml” are linked to schema “statec_cdb_mass_xsd_cancellation_v1.0.xsd” which includes a metadata part and a list of declarations.

STATEC pointed out that the Centrale des Bilans does not provide IT support for the operation of the files.
