This document presents a summary of an automated comparison of two DiGIR federation schemas. Various attributes of the documents are compared and given a score of 0…1. The overall comparison score is (sum of attribute scores) / (maximum possible score). In general, scores over 0.9 seem to indicate that the two federation schemas are likely to be different versions of the same schema.

The following schema attributes are compared:

  • Schema namespace
  • Imported namespaces
  • Document level annotation
  • Number of concepts
  • Definitions of each concept

Concepts between schemas are matched by comparing each concept in schema A with every concept in schema B. The concepts that match with the highest score are presented in the Concept Definitions section below, and that score is added to the total for the document.

Schema Annotation (score = 0.102)

Schema A:

 $Id: darwin2.xsd,v 1.21 2003/06/17 11:14:24 John Wieczorek Exp $  XML Schema
draft Darwin Core Version 2
(http://tsadev.speciesanalyst.net/documentation/ow.asp?DarwinCoreV2) content
model.  Uses and extends data elements from the DiGIR (http://digir.net)
protocol.

Schema B:

 $Id: paleoportal.xsd,v 0.2 2004/09/20 9:52:00 seth Exp $  Based upon
http://digir.sourceforge.net/fed/beta3/darwin2.xsd  XML Schema describing the
PaleoPortal derivative of the Darwin Core 2 content model. Definition of certain
terms used in this schema:                                          Catalogued
Item: an item, typically a specimen, information about which is stored in an
electronic catalog (ie. a collections database).
Record: a body of related information describing a single Catalogued Item,
organized using the PaleoPortal schema defined in this document.
Specimen: An individual, item, or part representative of an organism. The
Catalogued Item that is the subject of each PaleoPortal record is almost always
a specimen.                  When describing elements that can only be applied
to specimens, the term "specimen" is used instead of "Catalogued Item"
