SIF Implementation Specifications version 1.4 (AU) Documents

This release of the SIF specification consists of the following components:

  • SIF Global Infrastructure Implementation Specification 2.7

    This document contains the HTTP/S Transport and Messaging Specification, upgraded from chapters 1-5 of the earlier SIF v2.4 release. It describes the overall SIF Architecture, and the HTTP/S reference transport.

    It is independent of any locale-specific Data Objects or Zone Services. As a result, this document is directly reusable by other SIF locales (AU, UK) with very different object types.

    The 2.7 Infrastructure is identical to 2.6

  • SIF Data Model Implementation Specification (AU) 1.4

    This document consists of the upgraded chapter 6 (Data Model) of the earlier SIF (AU) v1.3 release. It describes the set of Data Objects that are part of the SIF v1.4 AU release. It includes URL pointers to various forms of the SIF_Message schema which encompass both the HTTP/S infrastructure and the set of Data Object element definitions.

    This document, while dependent upon the underlying infrastructure, can be viewed as describing the AU locale-specific Data Model objects. These Data Model objects may also be used in the Web Services transport.
