The Project Interchange XML Schema

The Project Interchange XML Schema (OPAInterchange.xsd) gives you the ability to:

 

The XML file must comply with the project interchange XML schema which is available to all customers generally. Other vendors may then produce adapters that write to and read from this XML. 

The project interchange XML schema comprises elements that describe the project, the project data model and the project rules. The project includes user attribution data plus templates for the custom properties used elsewhere in interchange files.

The model section allows for specification of the entities, attributes and relationships, plus associated metadata, in the project data model.

The rules section includes rules and rulesets (folders), plus metadata. Rule text in interchange files are represented in three different forms (XHTML, plain text, and engine-ready rule XML) to allow for rendering (or other processing) by external systems such as System Architect.  A ruleset in an interchange file is mapped to a project folder when the interchange file is imported into Oracle Policy Modeling.

The schema includes new first class object properties added to support the BRRM business rules management methodology, plus synchronization identifiers for model and rule elements to allow for round-tripping of these data between Oracle Policy Modeling and external metadata management systems such as System Architect and Rochade.

 

 

The project interchange XML schema has been designed so that it:

 

Oracle Policy Modeling supports the importing of any project data model created against the Oracle Policy Automation Project Interchange XML Schema (OPAInterchange.xsd) used in Oracle Policy Modeling.
