Photometry XSD Definition

[mrmonat]

The choice element doesn't seem correct (or at the correct position) in the xsd definition for a photometry.

Should it be possible to specify a PhotometryFileReference OR (Rotation-G0 AND DescriptivePhotometry) or should it be possible to specify a PhotometryFileReference AND Rotation-G0 AND DescriptivePhotometry?

Hi Luca, a good question because the xsd:choice seems indeed to be unnecessary at the moment.

The current logic is:

• A mandatory PhotometryFileReference
• AND optional: Rotation-G0 AND/OR DescriptivePhotometry

The choice element beforehand PhotometryFileReference is a preparation for a possible extension in the future: The possibility to provide photometric intensity distributions directly inside the gldf xml INSTEAD of an external file reference on Eulumdat or IES.

So a possible logic in the future could be:

• A mandatory PhotometryFileReference OR a mandatory IntensityDistribution collection
• AND optional Rotation-G0 AND/OR DescriptivePhotometry

Thanks for the clarification :)
