The diagram below reflects XML and derived resources making up controlled lists managed and/or mapped to by esd-toolkit. The schema defining each XML resource is given. Where one resource is derived from another, the XSLT transformation used is given. Resource names act as hyperlinks for all resources currently available from this site.
XSD and RDFS schemas are subject to modification following definition of standards by the e-Government Unit Metadata Technical Working Group and the W3C taxonomy group. In the event of changes, we shall endeavour to support the formats given as legacy formats.
See the XML structure tree viewer for details of the taxonomy and mapping schemas and how to represent controlled list items in XML.
