Term  Definition



Main type
A reusable type that is used to define the root element of the XML instance document (PIP Action Message). In case when Schema contains only one reusable type definition than that type is by default the Schema main type.

   

MAY
This word, or the adjective "OPTIONAL", mean that an item is truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it or because the vendor feels that it enhances the product while another vendor may omit the same item. An implementation, which does not include a particular option, MUST be prepared to interoperate with another implementation, which does include the option, though perhaps with reduced functionality. In the same vein an implementation, which does include a particular option, MUST be prepared to interoperate with another implementation, which does not include the option (except, of course, for the feature the option provides).

   

Mixed Content
A combination of child elements and character data nested within an element.

   

Modular PIP
Describes the PIP Service Content using W3C XML Schema, and PIP Choreography described using ebXML BPSS.

   

Monolithic PIP
Describes the PIP Service Content using message guidelines and DTD.

   

MUST
This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or "SHALL", means that the definition is an absolute requirement of the specification.

   

MUST NOT
This phrase, or the phrase "SHALL NOT", means that the definition is an absolute prohibition of the specification.
