Abstract:
The purpose of this document is to create a method for performing IRIG XML schema validation for the TMATS, IHAL, and DDML schemas. This method is used to validate that the XML schema can model the scenarios it was intended to support as opposed to XML instance document validation that determines if an XML instance document conforms to a schema. This task includes validation of the current TMATS, IHAL, and DDML schemas and the creation of a framework and methodology through which future versions of the schema can be thoroughly validated prior to release. The TMATS provides the common definition of the set of information needed to fully describe the data being transmitted from, or recorded on, an item under test. A TMATS file serves as the medium of exchange between the information source usually an instrumentation organization and the user usually a test range. For more details on TMATS, see the TMATS Handbook. The IHAL standard is a specification of an XML-based format for describing instrumentation hardware. The IHAL language is focused on the settings available on devices, referred to as configurable attributes. The primary purpose of IHAL is to describe these attributes both in terms of how they are currently configured and how they can be configured. For more details on IHAL, see the IHAL Handbook. The DDML standard is a specification of an XML-based neutral format that is intended to be the inter-lingua of data displays. The DDML language has the requirement of being generic enough to encompass various vendor-specific data display formats and at the same time being unified not a loose grouping of XML-ized vendor formats. In addition, it is required to support reusable concepts such as variables and data sources, be robust e.g., use of cross-references, and support future objects without warranting a change of the DDML format. For more details on DDML, see the DDML Handbook.
