Annotation
Used to identify described identifiable objects for purposes of internal and/or external referencing. Elements of this type cannot be versioned or maintained except as part of a complex parent element. Provides containers for Uniform Resource Name (URN) as well as ID information. An entity can either be identified by a URN, or an ID. The Agency and Version information in the URN is inherited from the containing elements. If both URN and combination of elements is used, the URN takes precedence. The element can be designated as an addition, replacement, or deletion to facilitate tracking changes.

Attribute Detail (defined in this component only; 4/4)
action
Type:
ActionCodeType
Use:
optional
Used for inheritance to indicate that the element being described is being added, updated, or deleted at the local level. Add: This element is added to the inherited structure. Update: This element is to be used in place of the inherited element with this ID for local processing. Delete: This element has been removed from the inherited group for local processing. There will be a new ID only in the case of Add.
Attribute Value
enumeration of xs:string
Enumeration:
"Add"
 - 
 The element is in addition to the included Scheme
"Update"
 - 
 The element updates the element with the same ID in the included Scheme. This new element replaces or updates the included element for local use.
"Delete"
 - 
 The element with the same ID in the included Scheme should be treated as deleted for local use.

<xs:attribute name="action" type="ActionCodeType" use="optional"/>
id
Type:
BaseIDType
Use:
required
Assigned ID, unique within its maintainable object.
Attribute Value
xs:string
Pattern:
 ([A-Z]|[a-z]|\*|@|[0-9]|_|$|\-)*

<xs:attribute name="id" type="BaseIDType" use="required"/>
objectSource
Type:
xs:anyURI, predefined
Use:
optional
When placing obejcts included by reference in-line for the purposes of archiving ro production of unpublished metadata to accompany data subsets, enter the DDI URN here. This addition will NOT cause a version change in the parent maintainable.

urn
Type:
DDIURNType
Use:
optional
DDI-structured URN of the element as described in Part I of the Technical Documentation.
Attribute Value
xs:anyURI
Pattern:

Content Element Detail (defined in this component only; 1/1)
UserID
Type:
UserIDType, simple content
An identifer that is locally unique within its specifc type. The required type attribute points to the local user identification system that defines the values. If multiple UserIDs are used they must be differentiated by the type attribute.
