Specification Name: OASIS EML TC - Election Markup Language (EML) Description: This schema here is a member of a library of the XML schemas used in EML. The XML schemas define the formal structures of the election data that can be processed. Produced by: OASIS Election Technical Committee URL: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/election Version: 6.0 Status: Committee Draft Copyright: 2001-09, OASIS, http://www.oasis-open.org Conformance: This is a base implementation schema - actual localization schema for use may be derived from this schema - but may not contradict the structure definitions provided here. Collection of information relating to each district, boundaries, streets and polling places. Date of publication of this information. Details of the election district or area within which elections occur and results are posted for. Name by which the district is identified to voters. Detail description in one or more language that describes the district. Geographic, political area or legislature that the district belongs to. Authority that is responsible for managing and certifying the information, its accessiblity, its content and its accuracy. Provides users with the official status of this information. Within a physical district there may be one or more political divisions for the purposes of reporting poll results and organizing voting participation. Textual description of the polling boundary that can be read and understood and identifies physical features and landmarks as a means to convey the borders of a specific polling district. Optional information about where the information provide here came from; particularly if inserted from another computer system or data source. Name by which the division is identified to voters. Optional supplemental text description of the district relating to the district name. The collection of physical markers that denote and set down the boundary of the district physically relating to landmarks and reference points. Physical point on a boundary path. Container for Street Segments of the boundary denoted by a physical street or road feature. Segment of the boundary denoted by a physical street or road feature. Optional attribute for EML 150 that indicates the relationship of the street segment to the polling boundary definition. How the street or road feature relates to the boundary path description. Unique identifier code value for referencing this item. Optional value to control relative sequence of each boundary marker in a set. The container element for specifying the geo-coded electoral district path. Records a geolocation coordinates for a point of the boundary path. Optional information about where the information provide here came from; particularly if inserted from another computer system or data source. How the goelocation point relates to the boundary path trace. Unique identifier code value for referencing this item. Unique identifier code value for referencing this item. Identifies the written language that the content is expressed using. Should be an internationally recognized standard code set. Physical details describing a specific polling place to be used in elections. Access and facilities details about a specific polling place to be used in elections. Id value points to specific polling place. Details of the facilities and access at the polling station. Unique identifier code value for referencing this item. The container element for specifying the geo-coded address of a polling place linked by Id to a physical polling place. Unique identifier code value for referencing this item. Simple Geo-coordinates of the address/location Latitude details Measure of the latitude in degrees Measure of the latitude in minutes Measure of the latitude in seconds The direction of latitude measurement offset from the equator Longitude details Measure of the longitude in degrees Measure of the longitude in minutes Measure of the longitude in seconds The direction of longitude measurement offset from the equator The collection of the coordinate numeric values for latitude amd longtitude depends on the agreed position of the meridian. Declaration of the meridian is necessary as it cannot be assumed in the data Type of code used. e.g. EPSG Code Type of code used. e.g. EPSG Code, WGS-84 Type of code used. e.g. EPSG Code A list of directions for geo-coordinates Service item type. Access item type. Optional attribute for EML 150 that denotes the street numbering selection mode relative to the polling boundary; odd number houses, even, or all houses to be included. Can be used at street level or segment member level as needed.
