RE: [election-services] EML v5 and xs:any

["Paul Spencer" <paul.spencer@boynings.co.uk>]

In the UK CORE project, we extend the VoterInformation element to include a VoterEligibilityDate element. We would have extended the PreferredChannel to say what election types the channel was being used for (parliamentary or local). There was no xs:any, so we had to define our own PreferredChannel element instead (in another namespace) and use the xs:any of VoterInfomration to add this. There are several other examples in this project.

Paul,

 

Can you give a quick simple use case where someone would need this to illustrate its purpose?

 

Thanks, DW

I have been looking through EML, and many complex data types (such as for
Voter Information) are extensible through the use of xs:any, while many
others (such as for Agent) are not. Since it appears to have no
disadvantages, I propose to add <xs:any namespace="##other" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/> to every global complex type. Does anyone have a
view on this? Responses by Friday please.
