Progress with Codelist approach for CIQ

["Ram Kumar" <kumar.sydney@gmail.com>]

Hi,

 

After two weeks of *hard struggle* and learrning of OASIS code list methodology

and playing with the tools, I have completed the following:

- Created Codelists using genericode for xNL, xAL, and xPIL

- Created XSLs and schematron rules for the codelists

- Tested the created codelists by perfoming two phase validation

 

- Ensured that CIQ schemas without codelist methodology and with codelist methodology are

identical. Cross checked this by performing two pass validation against the standard ciq document instances.

 

- Created sample custom codelist files (to add new code values  to default code values,

to restrict default code values) for xNL, xAL and xPIL

 

- Created custom constraint rules

 

- Created customised codelist XSL

 

- Tested the customisation of codelists

 

Everything is working fine.

 

Outstanding work:

- Create shell files for the .bat files created

- Update the CIQ specification document with the optional codelist approach

- Package the schemas with codelists and utilities

- circulate the package to CIQ TC for review

- Fix any issues

- Go for 60 days public review

 

I hope to have all these done in 2 weeks time given that I am working 19 hours a day

which includes my regular job + this work!

 

Ken Holeman, Chair of Codelist TC has been very helpful to answer my questions with patience.

 

Regards,

 

Ram
