Sub-elementsValuesDescription
Summary


An optional short camel case summary of the usage of the file. The value of this sub-element may be determined on a case-by-case basis but, in conjunction with the ContentType element, should be adequate to identify the content and purpose of the file.

Examples:

  • For references sets a brief indication about the type or purpose the reference set(s) in the file.

Note: If there is a summary the ReleaseType or DocStatus follows this Summary sub-element immediately without a space or other separator.

ReleaseTypeFullThe file contains the Full view of the components or refset members within its scope (i.e. every version ever released).
SnapshotThe file contains the Snapshot view of the components or refset members within its scope (i.e. only the most recent version released).
DeltaThe file contains the Delta view of the components or refset members within its scope (i.e. only additions/changes since previous release).
LanguageCode


Where it is necessary to specify the language or dialect used in a file, the appropriate language code must be included as the final sub-element of the ContentSubType. If a Summary or DocStatus sub-element is also included, the LanguageCode must be added after the last of those sub-elements and must be separated from it by a hyphen.

Representation of the LanguageCode

The language is specified with a 2 character ISO 639-1 language code (e.g. es = Spanish, fr = French, da = Danish). If necessary, a dialect code is added after the langauge language code and seperated separated from it by a hyphen.

Depending on the specificity required the dialect code comes from one of two sources:

  • If the dialect is general to an entire country, the two-letter ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code is used to specify the dialect (e.g. en-US = US English, en-GB British English)

  • If dialect is less common or not country specific, the IANA language subtag should be used. Note this code consists strings of lower case letres letters. IANA is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.

This approach follows Internet conventions.
