[DDI-SRG] More recommended bug resolutions for Thursday's meeting

[Wendy Thomas]

Recommended Bug resolutions:
247	OtherMaterial and Note has been reviewed for support of multiple 
languages. Other Material content fields are all InternationalStrings. 
However Note has not changed since first created (i.e. its all strings).
 	Element r:Note
 	CHANGE Subject to r:CodeValueType
 	CHANGE Header to r:InternationalString  minOccurs="0" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"
 	CHANGE Content to minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"  (currently 
a StructuredString with supports language)

246	r:FundingInformationType   needs description
 	ADD (following GrantNumber)  ref="Description"   minOccurs="0" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"    (this is an structured string)

245	Need to be able to link life cycle events to specific elements or 
sections of metadata
 	ADD to r:LifecycleEventType (following Description) 
ref="Relationship"   minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"

223	QuestionText (LiteralText) needs to provide an option for 
structure. Jeremy suggest both an unstructured version plus a structured 
version in order to retain backwards compatability. Given the complexity 
of this section already adding an alternative type of LiteralText seems 
problematic. In addition, LiteralTextType is currently an xs:string 
DynamicText of which LiteralText is a part is used by QuestionText, 
DisplayText (in Statement) and ResponseText (in StructuredMixedResponse).
         Currently DynamicTextType allows 1..n repetitions of a 
substitution for Text. DynamicTextType has a language attribute. 
QuestionText and ResponseText are repeatable, DisplayText is not.
         CHANGE DisplayText to maxOccurs="unbounded"  and note that 
repetition is for the purpose of multiple languages.
         ADD to DynamicTextType @structureRequired type="Boolean" 
default="false"  description: "If textual structure (e.g. size, color, 
font, etc) is required to understand the question change value to "true"."
         CHANGE LiteralTextType to type="r:StructuredString"   add to 
description: "If a section of the question text is in another language 
than that stated by the parent element, create a separate LiteralText with 
the appropriate xs:lang value for the segment in an alternate language."

240	Read the bug for recommended solution detail

225	ExternalAid needs @start and @stop for media
 	CHANGE d:ExternalAid to type="ExternalAidType"
 	CREATE xs:complex element name="ExternalAidType"
 	xs:extension base='r:OtherMaterial"
 	attribute name="start" type="xs:float"     or should it be 
xs:decimal???     minOccurs="0"
 	attribute name="stop" type="xs:float"     or should it be 
xs:decimal???     minOccurs="0"
 	description: Use to indicate the internal start and stop point for 
audio, visual, or multimedia materials. If an @start but no @stop is 
provided this indicates a mid point start and running to the end of the 
content. If an @stop but no @start is provided this indicates a start at 
the beginning and running until the mid-point stop indicated. If these 
attributes are not used the ExternalAid should be run in its entirety."

218	No place to list a StandardWeight value.
 	ADD to CodingType choice:
 	StandardWeight type="xs:decimal"
 	description: "A standard weighting factor used by all or a group 
of variables within the data set."
 	CHANGE description of pi:WeightUseReference to include: "Reference 
is made to the Coding element in Data Processing that contains the 
StandardWeight used."
