SIF Data Model Implementation Specification (NA) 2.8

Table of Contents

SIF (NA) 2.8 is designed to create a smoother path forward for users of SIF 2 to take advantage of the SIF 3 infrastructure. Elements specific to the SIF 2 infrastructure have been removed. Consequently, this optional version is intended for use exclusively with SIF 3 infrastructure. Additionally, the XML Schemas have been reformatted into SIF 3 patterns to make them work better with modern tools.

This helps bring into the SIF 3 ecosystem:
