IPC Compilation Master File, Schema V.1.03

File name of master files

ipcr_compilation_YYYYMMDD.xml
A compilation file may contain compilations of several IPC editions, levels, languages and displayModes, in separate ipcEntries elements.
a flat list of new, modified or deleted ipcEntry-s
ipcEntry elements are not embedded, i.e. section/class/subclass/maingroup/dot 1 etc. hierarchy is not reflected by the inclusion of ipcEntry elements
modified, new or deleted IPC entries
The ipcEntry elements within the ipcEntries list, are:
  • in case ipcLevel='a'
    modified core or advanced elements between the previous version and the version given in edition attribute
    as they are published in the advanced level
  • in case ipcLevel='c'
    modified core elements between the previous version and the version given in edition attribute
    as they are published in the core level
potentially the compilation file may contain a subset only
Obsolete attribute.
compilation files are always presented in 'compiled' mode
The compilation file may contain 'compressed' version, but this feature was never used.
Compressed version is significantly shorter, since does not contain unchanged parts of notes.
Obsolete attribute.
the target version, to which the former version is compared
former version is determined by the ipcLevel attribute
level of IPC for which the compilation was made
The previous version, to which comparison is made, is:
  • in case ipcLevel='a':
    the last advanced level version published before the version given in edition attribute
  • in case ipcLevel='c'
    the last core level version published before the edition given in edition attribute
In prereform versions and after the simplification, the level attribute is irrelevant.
language of the embedded entries
representation of the modified, new or deleted IPC entry, either structured and non-structured entry
For the purpose of comparison, the text of IPC entries is 'flattened'.
ipcEntry in compilation files may contain:
  1. various textual elements, i.e. content reflecting the changes:
    • textBody:for new and deleted entries
    • title:for modified entries
    • flatNotes:modified notes, with non-embedded note structures
  2. amendment element(s), that documents the revision-specific details,
    i.e. what changes were adopted since the start of the revision period.
IPC entries in compilation files are not embedded into their hierarchy as reflected in the scheme.
non-embedded (flat) version of a note or index ipcEntry
In compiled mode, the paragraphs of the original or new note
are all present in the compilation file.
compilation note type
distinguish different presentation for notes and indexes
index comparison
default, text comparison
presentation mode
only full mode is used
full text of the entry is presented
text of structured elements with modification markup
the title can be flattened, especially for notes, and the text contains necessary markup to embed new and deleted places as well as locating the changes
text and associated references, with embedded comparison markup
compared text of note and index paragraphs
contains text and references
  • for index paragraphs: the text precedes the references
  • for table-like note paragraphs: the references precedes the text
  • for other notes: no references list
Due to various comparison scenarios, the bar element may fall into the text of the references as well.
Compilation file of 20060101 uses a former version of the DTD, therefore not valid with this XSD.
identifier of the "parent" flat note paragraph (i.e. the one which corresponds to the note paragraph in the original note)
internal identifier of the flat note paragraph
internal readable identifier, presentation element, separated by '.', reflecting the prefixes of the ancestors and prefix of the current paragraph
sequence number of the flattened note paragraph
when 1: unmodified sequence open attribute
Obsolete, relevant in compressed mode only.
1 unmodified sequence close attribute
Obsolete, relevant in compressed mode only.
this entry is modified or first/last element of unmodified sequence
when 1:either the entry is modified or first/last element of an unmodified note paragraph sequence
presentation information for partial presentation of the compilation file
describes which part of the entry to be presented
Possible values
  • empty or attribute ommitted (default):
    general presentation
  • first3:
    no changes after the first 3 words or this flat note is first of a sequence of non-modified paragraphs
  • last3:
    no changes before the last 3 words or this flat note is last of a sequence of non-modified paragraphs
  • first1last1:
    this paragraph is not modified but preceding and following is modified
Obsolete, full mode used only.
way of modification of the paragraph
possible values:
  • empty or omitted:
    the paragraph was not changed
  • deleted:
    the paragraph was deleted
  • new:
    the paragraph is a new note paragraph
  • modified:
    the paragraph is a modified paragraph
  • "":
    no prefix
  • "[0-9]none":
    no prefix, on indent level n
  • "[0-9]number":
    numbered paragraph, on indent level n
  • "[0-9]bullet":
    bulleted paragraph, on indent level n
sequence number in the new version
if present: this paragraph became another paragraph due to move, "to" specifies the target place
1 when the paragraph is an orphan
the type of the embedding note or subnote was modified to listtypechangedto
the original type of the embedding note or subnote, that was modified to listtypechangedto
change of indentation
  • positive numbers: indentation increased
  • negative numbers: indentation decreased
Obsolete, appears in compilation file 20060101 only.

identifier or reference to a flat node
 empty or integer number
type of modification of the note paragraph
the paragraph is (slightly) modified
the paragraph is moved and slightly modified
the paragraph is deleted
the paragraph is new or considerably modified
the paragraph is moved
marked-up text, extended with textnew and textdel
markup of a word, e.g. first, last
separator of table-type note references
before the bar element (left hand side): list of references

character styles in compilation files
Compilation character styles contain:
  • same character styles as IPC scheme
  • special characters
  • markup of modified elements, such as new or deleted characters
embeds new text in the ipcEntry
embeds deleted text in the ipcEntry
text with layout and references, marked with new, delete and positional elements
similar to marked text in the scheme, but contains the change markup as well
underlined text, may contain new and deleted text
list of references with mixed text; may contain new and deleted text
a titlePart may have a sequence of entryReferences (i.e. those presented in text of IPC symbols in parentheses), separated by semicolons

Comment:

list of version indicators in compilation files
in files on and after 20100101: a comma-separated list of versions
In files before 20100101: list of digits as version indicators is also allowed.
