XML Profile Editor

Home » XML Profile Editor

Overview

Profiles are the foundation of Caristix software. Profiles are another word for interface specifications, specs, or conformance profiles. They capture the data formats and code sets needed for exchanging information between systems. The profiles you develop with Caristix software can be used to:

Scope and document the systems in an interface: the core function of a profile.
Validate an interface: use a profile to execute tests.
Update documentation.
Query your messages based on that profile.
De-identify messages based on that profile.

XML Profile Editor in Workgroup works as follows:

Edit Profile’s Structure

The Profile Structure tab describes the schema that your XML documents should have in order to be valid.

Edit Selected Element’s Definition

The Definition tab describes each of an element’s properties.

Max Occurs:	Optional. Specifies the maximum number of times this element can occur in the parent element. The value can be any number >= 0, or if you want to set no limit on the maximum number, use the value “unbounded”. Default value is 1. This attribute cannot be used if the parent element is the schema element.
Default:	Optional. Specifies a default value for the element (can only be used if the element’s content is a simple type or text only).
