OASIS LegalXML Electronic Court Filing TC

TC,   We’ve run into an interesting situation with the nc:LocationCountryFIPS10-4Code code values.  It turns out that one of our CMS’s country codes are based on ISO, not FIPS.  For ECF 5, should the country code be standards body agnostic and instead rely on Court Policy to make the country code determination.   Background:  Arizona is a non-unified court system that operates several different CMSs.   Thanks for your consideration,   Jim

Jim,   NIEM supports a number of possible representations for countries, including FIPS 10-4 and 3 different ISO code lists.   Currently, ECF 4 and the draft of ECF 5 both include nc:LocationCountryName and nc:LocationCountryFIPS10-4Code.  We could decide to switch from FIPS to one of the ISO codes.  If we support multiple codes, we need to consider the added complexity for implementers.   nc : LocationCountry   details  type:  ( nc : CountryType )     Add  Add All     Add   nc : CountryAugmentationPoint   abstract   details     Add   nc : CountryRepresentation   abstract   details      substitutable by:       Add   nc : LocationCountryISO3166Alpha2Code   (  iso_3166   :  CountryAlpha2CodeType  )  details       Add   scr : LocationCountryIdentification   (  nc   :  IdentificationType  )  details       Add   nc : LocationCountryName   (  nc   :  ProperNameTextType  )  details       Add   nc : CountryCode   (  nc   :  CodeType  )  details       Add   nc : LocationCountryISO3166NumericCode   (  iso_3166   :  CountryNumericCodeType  )  details       Add   nc : LocationCountryISO3166Alpha3Code   (  iso_3166   :  CountryAlpha3CodeType  )  details       Add   intel : LocationCountryFIPS10-4PlusNCTCCodeText   (  nc   :  TextType  )  details   __ Jim Cabral 502 509-4532   From: Price, Jim Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 12:44 PM To: 'legalxml-courtfiling@lists.oasis-open.org' Subject: [legalxml-courtfiling] ECF 5: FIPS Country Code Alternatives?   TC,   We’ve run into an interesting situation with the nc:LocationCountryFIPS10-4Code code values.  It turns out that one of our CMS’s country codes are based on ISO, not FIPS.  For ECF 5, should the country code be standards body agnostic and instead rely on Court Policy to make the country code determination.   Background:  Arizona is a non-unified court system that operates several different CMSs.   Thanks for your consideration,   Jim  

Thanks for the quick response, Jim.    If the country code element name was not particular to a specific industry standard, would it be appropriate to express the code values in policy?  This approach could take the complexity issue off the table, but it may require a non-NIEM XML construct to make it happen.   Jim   From: James E Cabral [mailto:jec@mtgmc.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 12:17 PM To: Price, Jim <JPrice@courts.az.gov>; 'legalxml-courtfiling@lists.oasis-open.org' <legalxml-courtfiling@lists.oasis-open.org> Subject: RE: ECF 5: FIPS Country Code Alternatives?   Jim,   NIEM supports a number of possible representations for countries, including FIPS 10-4 and 3 different ISO code lists.   Currently, ECF 4 and the draft of ECF 5 both include nc:LocationCountryName and nc:LocationCountryFIPS10-4Code.  We could decide to switch from FIPS to one of the ISO codes.  If we support multiple codes, we need to consider the added complexity for implementers.   nc : LocationCountry   details  type:  ( nc : CountryType )     Add  Add All     Add   nc : CountryAugmentationPoint   abstract   details     Add   nc : CountryRepresentation   abstract   details      substitutable by:       Add   nc : LocationCountryISO3166Alpha2Code   (  iso_3166   :  CountryAlpha2CodeType  )  details       Add   scr : LocationCountryIdentification   (  nc   :  IdentificationType  )  details       Add   nc : LocationCountryName   (  nc   :  ProperNameTextType  )  details       Add   nc : CountryCode   (  nc   :  CodeType  )  details       Add   nc : LocationCountryISO3166NumericCode   (  iso_3166   :  CountryNumericCodeType  )  details       Add   nc : LocationCountryISO3166Alpha3Code   (  iso_3166   :  CountryAlpha3CodeType  )  details       Add   intel : LocationCountryFIPS10-4PlusNCTCCodeText   (  nc   :  TextType  )  details   __ Jim Cabral 502 509-4532   From: Price, Jim Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 12:44 PM To: 'legalxml-courtfiling@lists.oasis-open.org' Subject: [legalxml-courtfiling] ECF 5: FIPS Country Code Alternatives?   TC,   We’ve run into an interesting situation with the nc:LocationCountryFIPS10-4Code code values.  It turns out that one of our CMS’s country codes are based on ISO, not FIPS.  For ECF 5, should the country code be standards body agnostic and instead rely on Court Policy to make the country code determination.   Background:  Arizona is a non-unified court system that operates several different CMSs.   Thanks for your consideration,   Jim
