Please click here to download the Production Release ZIP file.

Please e-mail your comments and questions about the schema to Jim Fremont.

The eIDK allows laboratories to use their existing systems to create proposals and then submit the proposals in batch mode to the ePMA system. eIDK uses standardized XML-based Web services. The XML-based Electronic Interface Developer's Kit (eIDK) includes:

1) Schema files: The ePMA XML schema for a proposal submission consists of several schema files. All the files are in a ASCII text format and can be opened using any text editor. The main schema file is "eIDK_import.xsd". It uses a common shared base schema "epme_base.xsd" which in turn references other schema files which contain enumerated types (1a, 1b, 1c, and so forth).

• 1a) eIDK_import.xsd
  • Describes the elements required for importing several proposals.
• 1b) epme_base.xsd
  • An extraction of shared schema types the eIDK_import.xsd schema uses.
• 1c) eIDK_upload_report.xsd
  • Describes the possible elements in an upload report.
• 1d) contractor_codes.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable contractor codes.
• 1e) FIPS-10-4-Country-Codes.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable country codes.
• 1f) hq_prog_orgs.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable HQ Program Organizations.
• 1g) purpose.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable proposal purposes.
• 1h) reason.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable proposal reasons.
• 1i) research_areas.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable research areas.
• 1j) research_cat_ids.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable research categories.
• 1k) work_cat_ids.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable categories of work.
• 1l) epme_export.xsd
  • Contains all the elements required for both printer friendly version and export to XML
• 1m) external_attachments.xsd
  • Contains an enumerated list of acceptable External Attachment categories

2) ePMA Sample XML Data.xml

• Sample XML file validated against eIDK_import.xsd

3) ReleaseNotes.doc

• Describes the eIDK changes in the current release of ePMA.

Notes

• The schema and sample XML files must be in the same directory in order for the XML file to be validated against the schema.
