| Document Abstract |
This publication contains the vocabulary referenced by XML elements defined by the Data Consortium Namespace (DCN). The DCN defines 8 XML elements that correspond to the types of resources that are referenced by real estate investor and other practitioners. The DCN also defines attributes for these resource-types. This dictionary contains the names of resources, and names for values of attributes, which are used when datastreams representing real estate documents of one kind or another are encoded using the DCN elements. For more information about the encoding of DCN datastreams, please see http://www.dataconsortium.org. |
| Organization | This document contains a list of the terms in the DCN's vocabulary, sorted by resource-type and attribute-type. The definitions for terms are provided by a companion (alphabetically-organized) publication. The objective of this publication is to identify the taxonomy of the terms in the DCN's vocabulary. The DCD's taxonomy is a hierarchical classification of its terms into (1) base classes, which are also called resource-types (2) categories within the base classes, which are also called xsi-types and (3) classes, which are the terms. However, depending on the resource-type, further levels of classificaton are established to relate vocabulary terms as sub-types of other terms. |
| Status | This is an update to the 5th working draft for review by the public and by members of the Data Consortium. The Consortium expects to clarify points of uncertainty and ommission that arise in the on-going review of this draft. Following that period of review, it is the Data Consortium's intent to issue a Last Call for Review, and to then freeze this Dictionary for publication. This schedule may vary, depending on the comments of the public on this draft. Such comments are instrumental in the Data Consortium's deliberations, and we encourage readers to review the draft and send comments to the Data Consortium Bulletin Board or by contacting: John McClure, Jeff Fisher, or Mike Young . |
| Log | Since the last draft update the "Product" and "Service" classes have been converted to categories under a new "Item" Class. The "Topic" class has been eliminated and topics added as a category to the "Entry" class. |
