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 = 30)
- http://plantsws.nrcs.usda.gov/digir/darwin2plants.xsd
Namespace Comparison (score = 0.925)

Concept Defintions (score = 0.724): %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.
| Schema A | Schema B | Score |
| DateLastModified (xsd:dateTime) Nillable?: true Sub Grp: digir:searchableReturnableData ISO 8601 date and time in UTC(GMT) when the record was last modified.

(What to do when this date-time is unknown? Use Date-Time first “published”?) |

It is recommended that this value provides a key by which the actual specimen can be identified.

| StateProvince (xsd:string) Nillable?: true Sub Grp: digir:searchableReturnableData The full, unabbreviated name of the state, province, or region (i.e., the next smaller political region than Country) from which the cataloged item was collected. |
darwin:StateProvince (xsd:string) Nillable?: true Sub Grp: digir:searchableReturnableData The state, province or region (i.e. next political region smaller than Country) from which the specimen was collected. There is some suggestion to use the values described in ISO 3166–2, however these values are in a continual state of flux and it appears unlikely that an appropriate mechanism (by ISO) will be in place to manage these changes. Hence it is recommended that where possible, the full, unabbreviated name should be used for storing information. The server should optionally handle abbreviations as an access point. Note: this is a recurring theme (country and state) abbreviations. Check the existence of an attribute type to deal with abbreviations from the bib-1 profile |
0.798 |
