Annotation
A maintainable module containing maps between objects of the same or similar type. Maps allow for pair-wise mapping of two objects by describing their similarities and differences in order to make assertions regarding their comparability. Currently maps allow for the comparison of concepts, variables, questions, categories, universes, and representations that have managed content (code, category, numeric, text, datetime and scale). These mapping(s) inform users on the comparability of two objects and facilitate automation. Note that all maps are pairwise, identifying two schemes and the correlation between two items in those schemes. Due to the complexity of some objects, multiple mappings may be required to cover details of the comparison of component parts, e.g. a QuestionMap may also have a related RepresentationMap. By using a set of pairwise comparisons, it is possible to describe complex correspondences - pairwise comparisons are easier to process. In addition to providing a standard name, label, and description, Comparison consists of a simple stack of comparison maps. Comparison maps are currently limited to those objects that can be referenced and are sufficiently structured to support a clear comparison.

Content Element Detail (all declarations; defined within this component only; 17/31)
CategoryMap
Type:
GenericMapType, complex content
Maps the content of two different category schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element ref="CategoryMap"/>
CategoryMapReference
Type:
r:ReferenceType, complex content
Reference to a mapping of the content of two different category schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes. TypeOfObject should be set to CategoryMap.

ConceptMap
Type:
GenericMapType, complex content
Maps the content of two different concept schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element ref="ConceptMap"/>
ConceptMapReference
Type:
r:ReferenceType, complex content
Reference to a mapping of the content of two different concept schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes. TypeOfObject should be set to ConceptMap.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element ref="ConceptMapReference"/>
ManagedItemMap
Type:
GenericMapType, complex content
Maps the items managed within different schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element ref="ManagedItemMap"/>
ManagedItemMapReference
Type:
r:ReferenceType, complex content
Reference to a mapping of the items managed within two different schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes. TypeOfObject should be set to ItemMap.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element ref="ManagedItemMapReference"/>
QuestionMap
Type:
GenericMapType, complex content
Maps the content of two different question schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element ref="QuestionMap"/>
QuestionMapReference
Type:
r:ReferenceType, complex content
Reference to a mapping of the content of two different question schemes of objects of the same type providing detail for the comparable items within those two schemes. TypeOfObject should be set to QuestionMap.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element ref="QuestionMapReference"/>
r:Description
Type:
r:StructuredStringType, complex content
A description of the content and purpose of the comparison. Supports multiple language versions of the same content as well as optional formatting of the content.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
<xs:element minOccurs="0" ref="r:Description"/>
r:Label
Type:

RepresentationMap
Type:
RepresentationMapType, complex content
