Elements that reference code tables

Internal schemas can contain elements that refer to records within an InfoSphere® MDM code table.

In order to support this, the InfoSphere MDM schema for specs provides two predefined types, codeTableEnum and ElementInfo. See Defining locale-sensitive data types and code table data types in the internal schema for more information.

For example, to define an element called myCodeTableReference that refers to a code table called MYCODETABLE, you must include the codeTableEnum and ElementInfo types in the element definition as follows:

<xsd:element name="myCodeTableReference" type="mdmspec:codeTableEnum">
  <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:appinfo>
      <mdmspec:elementInfo>
        <mdmspec:codeTableEnum codeTableRef="MYCODETABLE" />
      </mdmspec:elementInfo>
    </xsd:appinfo>
  </xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>
