PVCollada

The PVCollada schema is an adaptation of the COLLADA schema for photovoltaic (PV) power systems.

PVCollada 1.4.1

PVCollada 1.4.1 is a modification of the COLLADA 1.4.1 schema. A PVCollada 1.4.1 document is not a valid COLLADA document. Modifications from COLLADA 1.4.1 are:

  1. The following are optional in PVCollada 1.4.1, but required in COLLADA 1.4.1.
    <COLLADA><asset><created> (type: xs:dateTime)
    <COLLADA><asset><modified> (type: xs:dateTime)
  1. The following are string type in PVCollada 1.4.1 but are required to be type xs:ID and xs:NCName, respectively, in COLLADA 1.4.1.

    <COLLADA><library_visual_scenes><visual_scene><id>
    <COLLADA><library_visual_scenes><visual_scene><name>
  1. PVCollada 1.4.1 adds the following elements:

    <COLLADA><library_geometries><geometry><mesh><frame_parameters>
