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 A (ID = 47)
- http://digir.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/manis/1.21/darwin2.xsd
- Schema B (ID = 12)
- http://bnhm.berkeley.museum/manis/DwC/darwin2gazetteer.xsd

Concept Defintions (score = 0.951): %s
Best matches for each concept. Note that where the number of concepts defined in each schema is different, only the smaller set is used in the comparison since these represent the best matches out of all possible combinations.
