Slide 21 of 46
Notes:
The Submission Package is a zip file containing 1 manifest (an XML file that conforms to registry.dtd), zero or more documents, zero or more domain docs (XML files that conform to registry_domain_values.dtd), and zero or more schemas (e.g., DTD, DCD, RDF, XDR).
The diagram in the lower left provides a visual for the package and its contents. In that example, the package contains a manifest, one generic document (the .pdf file), 3 domain documents (corresponding to the 3 other .xml files) and a single schema (.dtd).
The screen capture on the right is a sample of the submission package from the work that SHADE is doing with the GMI Namespace Mgr. Sometimes the package can get quite large. Since DIA is doing the initial build of GMI by reusing the semantics from MIDB, the manifest is over 2M in size. It does, however, zip down to a much smaller size, just over 200K.
The manifest describes what is being registered. Think of it as a packing list or a structured readme for the zip package. The remainder of this briefing focuses on the content and structure of the manifest.
