6 Data Model
6.1 Introduction
This section presents the XML structure for SIF Data Model common elements and objects in a tabular format for readers
less versed in parsing formal XML schema definitions, along with conventions that typically apply in the data model for
easy reference.
6.1.1 Format
The Char(acteristics) column for all of the tables in this section use the following codes:
| Code |
Characteristic |
| M |
Mandatory element or attribute |
| O |
Optional element or attribute |
| C |
Conditional element or attribute |
| MR |
Mandatory and repeatable element |
| OR |
Optional and repeatable element |
| CR |
Conditional and repeatable element |
Mandatory elements MUST be present in Add events, and
in non-empty and non-error responses to requests for entire SIF objects (e.g., no SIF_Query/SIF_QueryObject/SIF_Element elements supplied in the request).
Mandatory attributes MUST always be present if their corresponding element is present.
SIF Agents and Zone Integration Servers MUST supply data according to the types specified in the Type columns and their corresponding equivalents
in the most recent schema files associated with this specification. If there is a discrepancy between object and element definitions in this specification and the
corresponding schema files,
the definition in the schema files takes precedence; every effort will be made to note discrepancies in the errata for this document as they
are identified.
6.1.2 Conventions
6.1.2.1 Object Attributes/Primary Keys
While XML attributes are primarily used in SIF to provide additional processing information regarding the associated element content,
attributes at the root level of an object have special significance. These attributes serve as the primary
key or identifier for the object; in many cases this is no more than a RefId GUID of RefIdType, though the primary key may consist solely of
foreign key references to other SIF objects and include school years, dates, etc. These key attributes are immutable over the lifetime of an object
and serve the purpose of uniquely identifying an object, especially
in Change and Delete events. Some groups include non-primary key attributes in object attributes (e.g. mandatory
foreign key references to other objects) and attributes that provide additional processing information regarding the objects. As SIF currently
mandates that all object attributes be included in all messages, when a SIFA working group or task force places a non-primary key attribute
in the object's attribute definitions (typically out of historical query conventions), they are indicating that this value must still be accessible
to systems in Change and, more notably, Delete events. All object attributes must be supplied to identify the object
in Change and Delete events.
6.1.2.2 Object References
As stated elsewhere, SIF primarily uses GUIDs as object identifiers, primary keys, or RefIds. References to primary keys (foreign key references)
follow certain conventions in SIF in most objects:
-
An element or attribute of type
IdRefType can be defined that consists of the referenced object name
concatenated with RefId, e.g., StudentPersonalRefId (a reference to the object identifier/primary key/RefId
of a StudentPersonal object);
-
An element requiring a more descriptive name for the reference or one that refers to more than one object type is defined as
IdRefType, has an element name of a group's choosing (or generically SIF_RefId) and enumerates all possible object types that can be referenced
in the SIF_RefObject attribute; or
-
A pair of attributes can be defined, one of type
IdRefType containing the referenced object's RefId, the other enumerating
all possible object types that can be referenced; generically these are named SIF_RefId and SIF_RefObject, respectively;
naming conventions that programmatically allow identification of the pair beyond the generic names will be documented when the need arises.
6.1.2.3 Lists/Repeatable Elements
To those accustomed with normalized relational databases, the SIF Data Model will appear to not be especially normalized, especially with regard to
repeating groups of data not being separated into their own "tables," or in SIF's case, "objects" with primary/foreign keys to maintain the
relationship. Bear in mind that SIF is not a format for storing
data; it is a format for transmitting data asynchronously between disparate and distributed systems needing to share data for
interoperability; the format this data takes in different systems can vary greatly, and the data related to any given "entity" may
come from a variety of sources and systems.
The goals of normalization—eliminating redundancy, organizing data efficiently, reducing inconsistencies, etc.—take on a different meaning in
a message queuing system. Of primary importance is transmitting the data needed for interoperability in a minimum number of messages. The need to "join" together
a great number of separate objects is kept to a minimum in SIF, as individual systems do not have access to all the data required and due to the asynchronous
nature of SIF, any one of these systems may take a fair amount of time before returning data necessary for joins (SIF_ExtendedQuery has been
developed to communicate a join to a single system that may have direct access to the all the data necessary to efficiently accomplish this task). It's one
thing to make a separate request for a student's picture or enrollment information, another entirely to request every available phone number, address and e-mail
address separately from the SIF Zone. As such, it is often the case in SIF that repeating data is stored directly in an object, rather than being separated
out into a separate object.
Repeating data is very analogous to objects, though, within any given object. In SIF's Publish/Subscribe model, repeating elements in objects
can be added to, changed in or deleted from an object, much like objects can be added to, changed in or deleted from a Zone. Within an existing object, all of these
actions take place within a Change event, and repeating elements—if any exist initially—are first made available within an object in an Add
event or can be obtained directly via requests. Repeatable elements are contained within a parent List element in most SIF objects
whether or not they support events, e.g.:
<EmailList>
<Email Type="Primary">contact@sifinfo.org</Email>
<Email Type="Alternate1">info@sifinfo.org</Email>
</EmailList>
Example 6.1.2.3-1: EmailList
Two types of list are currently defined in SIF, ActionList and List; both consist of a list container element and a single repeatable
child element. Each type of list serves different needs and has associated conventions for communication and processing in the SIF Publish/Subscribe Model.
List or ActionList is specified in the Type column in tables in this section for each list; when an ActionList the key, possibly
compound, is also indicated.
6.1.2.3.1 ActionList
An ActionList has a key that uniquely identifies each child element within the list. This type of list is primarily used when it is
desirable or necessary for systems to support or refer to a subset of the list, either due to functionally only being able to support a subset
or because specifying a subset in Change events is more efficient than transmitting a whole list as in List.
While one system may support the Primary and
Alternate1 e-mail address types above, another may additionally support Alternate2 addresses.
The second system
is able to communicate the addition, change or deletion of an Alternate2 address without
the first system inadvertently interpreting
that to mean a student or staff member's Primary and Alternate1 addresses have been deleted.
Systems communicate the whole list as a cohesive unit consisting of the parent list container element and all child elements in an Add
event; if the container is present with no child elements, the list is empty; the same is implied when an optional list is not present in an
Add event. In a Change event, systems SHOULD only transmit those elements that have been added, changed or deleted. Deletion
is not implied by the omission of a child element, but rather explicitly communicated with a SIF_Action attribute of Delete
added to the deleted element, along with the element's key attribute(s)/element(s) at a minimum. An empty list in a Change event implies
no changes have occurred in the list, as does the omission of the list. Systems storing ActionList data should set/replace/delete any
existing values identified by primary keys in the Change event they support.
<EmailList>
<Email Type="Primary">editor@sifinfo.org</Email>
<Email Type="Alternate1" SIF_Action="Delete" />
</EmailList>
Example 6.1.2.3.1-1: Indicating a new value for the Primary e-mail address and deleting the Alternate1 address
A system that supports an Alternate2 e-mail makes no changes to its value for that address type.
6.1.2.3.2 List
While a unique, primary key may still be identifiable in its child elements, a List is used primarily when:
- the list is a cohesive whole conceptually, where supporting or referring to a subset of the list is of little value;
- when the list consists only of keys, and no associated data;
- the list is informational/temporary state information and not typically persisted; or
- when no key exists to uniquely identify items in the list.
Lists are always transmitted as a cohesive unit consisting of the parent list container element and all child elements. If no child
elements exist in the list, the list consists of the container element alone. Omission of an optional List in an Add event
also implies no list items. In a Change event, omission of the List indicates no changes have been made; otherwise the
parent container element and all child elements, if any, are included. Systems storing
List data should replace all corresponding data in their systems when persisting the list; likewise when a change is made to one or more
list items or when all items in the list are deleted, systems should send the whole list in a Change event.
<CountriesOfCitizenship>
<CountryOfCitizenship>US</CountryOfCitizenship>
<CountryOfCitizenship>DE</CountryOfCitizenship>
</CountriesOfCitizenship>
Example 6.1.2.3.2-1: Indicating an updated list of country citizenships
A system that supports CountriesOfCitizenship updates its local data to reflect U.S. and German citizenship.
6.1.2.4 Supported Optional Elements Without Values
Some agents follow the convention of supplying an optional element as empty (e.g. <BirthDate></BirthDate> or <BirthDate/> to indicate
that the application supports the element, but that it currently has no value available within a given object. To allow for this convention within SIF—as in this example
an empty string does not satisfy the xs:date type definition of BirthDate—all optional elements in SIF
are defined as nillable [SCHEMA]. To satisfy type constraints on an element while still supplying an empty or "nil"
value, agents MUST tag the element with a true value for the nil attribute from namespace
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance [SCHEMA] (e.g. <BirthDate xsi:nil="true"/> where the prefix xsi has been mapped to
the namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance), unless an empty value is valid with regard to the element's type definition,
in which case supplying the nil attribute value of true is optional.
See SIF and XML Namespaces for more details on namespaces, and SIF and XML Schema
for more details on SIF's use of XML Schema.
6.1.2.5 Externally-Defined XML
Note that XML not defined within SIF does not necessarily support ad hoc omission of XML elements at will to conform with the conventions of the SIF Publish/Subscribe Model
(where unchanged elements are typically omitted in Change events, and where non-key elements are often omitted in Delete events) or of the SIF Request/Response Model
(where a subset of elements can be retrieved from objects with requests). If externally-defined XML occurs within a SIF data object, SIF conventions do not
extend to that XML unless that XML is defined to accommodate SIF conventions; the XML, when transmitted, must only conform to any external definitions dictating
its structure, if any. Applications should be prepared for the possibility of receiving whole externally-defined XML structures in Change events (regardless of how little or much of the external
XML has changed) and possibly also Delete events, likewise in responses even when a subset of the XML structure's child elements may have explicitly been requested.
