The element dcc:items contains all necessary information to identify and describe a system of calibration items or a single calibration item. The element with its child elements can represent a complex composition. Therefore, the context of several or a single item is described in this part (dcc:items). The description of the individual components takes place in the sub-element dccitem.
The rough tree structure of the element dcc:items has the following appearance:
<xs:complexType name="itemListType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="dcc:textType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="equipmentClass" type="dcc:equipmentClassType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xs:element name="description" type="dcc:richContentType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="owner" type="dcc:contactType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="manufacturer" type="dcc:contactNotStrictType" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="identifications" type="dcc:identificationListType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="item" type="dcc:itemType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>

Element Element type |
Use | Description |
---|---|---|
dcc:name dcc:textType |
[O] | This element shall specify the name of the system of celibration items. |
dcc:equipmentClass dcc:equipmentClassType |
[O] | The equipmentClass element contains all the necessary information to uniquely identify a system of calibration items or a single calibration item using a classification scheme. |
dcc:description dcc:richContentType |
[O] | Other information not given in the elements dcc:name is given here to describe the calibration item. |
dcc:owner dcc:contactType |
[O] | The element dcc:owner contains all necessary information to uniquely identify the owner of the calibration item(s). |
dcc:manufacturer dcc:contactNotStrictType |
[O] | The element dcc:manufacturer contains all necessary information to uniquely identify the manufacturer of the calibration item(s). This is possible under dcc:items and dcc:item. If we have multiple items from different manufacturers, the manufacturer has to be specified in every dcc:item element. If we have mutliple items from the same manufacturer, the manufacturer may be specified only one time in the dcc:items element in order to avoid to have to specify the same manufacturer multiple times. This can make sense for weight sets where all items have the same manufacturer. Since it may not be possible to enter the manufacturer's address at all, the data type dcc:contactNotStrict is used here, which contains few mandatory fields. |
dcc:identifications dcc:identificationListType |
[O] | Identifications in dcc:items contains identifiers describing exactly the combination of dcc:item whose calibration this DCC documents. At the dcc:item there is also an element identification, at which the individual calibration item is precisely identified. |
dcc:item | [M] | The element dcc:item contains all necessary information of each individual calibration item. |
