MaintainableType (as extension base)

Used to identify described maintainable objects for purposes of internal and/or external referencing. Elements of this type may be maintained as independent objects (outside of a parent object). Provides containers for Uniform Resource Name (URN) as well as ID information. An entity can either be identified either by a URN and/or an identification sequence. At a minimum, one or the other is required. You must designate they type of URN supported by your agency, either "Canonical" or "Deprecated". To fully support interoperability both the DDI URN and the full identification sequence should be used. Note that to support interoperability of the canonical and deprecated URN, at minimum the MaintainableIdentifier and TypeOfMaintainableObject should be supplied if the canonical URN is being used by the agency. If both URN and the identification sequence is used, and there is any conflict, the URN takes precedence. The element can be designated as an addition, replacement, or deletion to facilitate tracking changes. In addtion to the elements and attributes inherited from AbstractIdentifiable, additional information regarding the versioning process can be provided; version date, the person and/or organization within the maintenance agency responsible for the change as either text or reference, and the reason for the change. If the object created was based on an exisiting object (other than by versioning), the object on which it is based can be identified using BasedOnReference. In addition to UserID, versionable and maintainable objects may also designate additional user specific properties expressed as a key/value pair using UserAttributePair. Maintainable objects may also contain any notes related to the objects they contain, identification of the software used to create and/or manage the metadata, a statement of the metadata quality, and a default URI value to use for external external references. The attribute xml:lang can be used to provide specification of the default language of the metadata contents. When the isPublished attribute is set to "true" it indicates to the user that they may safely reference the contents as they will continue to be accessible and any changes in the non-administrative content will be tracked by a versioning mechanism.

externalReferenceDefaultURI

xs:anyURI, predefined

Use to provide a default value for the URI of external references. Use of a URI in a reference within this maintainable overrides the value entered here. Nested maintainables should redeclare the contents of this attribute for clarity.
