Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, Methods Committee. XML Schema for method definitions and method collections. Version 1.0 specification. This schema defines the format used by Central Council XML methods collections, and also provides a global element definition called method which can be used to pass XML-formatted method definition and metadata between ringing programs. An human-language description of the collection, along with any relevant comments to assist in its interpretation. An id that uniquely identifies this collection and its revision level. This type contains a list of methods, and can contain a set of properties. These properties apply to all the methods in the list, unless the method itself specifies a conflicting property value. If this happens then the value in the method definition takes precedence. The path of the principal hunt bell, expressed using the positions visited by the bell. In-course and out-of-course false course heads are listed separately. Note that these elements are optional, however the absence of one or other of these element does not imply that there are no such false course heads, it merely indicates that they are not recorded in the falseness element. Classification and other data reflects the Central Council decisions current at the end of the meeting held in the year given by this attribute The name of the method. An empty name with the attribute xsi:nil="true" indicates that this method has not yet been officially named. Note that a blank name with xsi:nil="false" is valid in the case of Little Bob. Place notation for a lead of the method. Use - rather than x or X. This is the abstract definition of a reference to this method in some external source. This schema defines a number of concrete references. Users can define their own references in their own namespaces and adding them to the mx:ref substitution group References to this method in a journal. A list of one more references to this method in "The Ringing World". A list of one or more references to this method in "The Bell News". A list of one or more references to this method in "Church Bells". Numerical index in the Treble Dodging Minor Methods collection Numerical index in the Plain Minor Methods collection This is the abstract definition of a performance reference. This schema defines a number of concrete references. Users can define their own references in their own namespaces and adding them to the mx: performance substitution group Details of the first single-method tower bell peal of this method Details of the first single-method handbell peal of this method Details of the first tower bell peal that includes this method Details of the first handbell peal that includes this method Details of the first extent of this method rung on tower bells Details of the first extent of this method rung on handbells A sequence of changes. Each change is represented using conventional place notation, in which positions 1 to 9 are represented using their digit, 10 by 0, 11 by E, 12 by T, 13-16 by A-D, 17-19 by F-H, 20-24 by J-N, 25-28 by P-S, 29-31 by U-W, 32-33 by Y-Z (lower case letters are also permitted and are interpreted as equivalent to their upper case counterparts). In addition positions may be represented as {nnn} where nnn is a positive integer, so T is equivalent to {12}. The . character is used to separate the changes in the sequence. It may be omitted before or after -
