Header Tags

meta tag

A meta tag must have one of the attributes generator or date. The meta tag with generator attribute is for some information about what program was used for producing this xml description file and with the date attribute it is for giving the date when this xml description file was produced.

This information is related to the xml file generator in case it differs from the model generator. The model generator should be denoted in the software tag.

version tag

A version tag can have a type attribute which is optional. The type attribute can be dump (default), beta or final. This is useful for distinguishing between different versions of a model.

title tag

The title tag is necessary. It should contain a short prezise name for this model.

authors tag

The authors tag is for bundling some author tags. Inside them there are five tags. One for the first name, one for the last name, one for some information about the affiliation of this author, one for his e-mail address and one optional url tag for an internet address.

The affiliation tag embraces two tags organization and address. The organization is for the company, university or similar, and the address is for the postal address of this author.

description tag

The description tag encloses at least the abstract tag and additionally some or all of the tags detail, keywords, msc2000 and software.

For describing the model there should be a few short concise sentences within the abstract tag and a longer description within the detail tag. The first sentence of the abstract tag should be useful for example for lists of models where a user could choose from. So it should cover the main idea.

The keywords tag contains at least one keyword tag. The keywords should be helpful, for example, for making a search on a model data base.

The msc2000 tag includes one primary tag and some secondary tags for giving a code corresponding to the Mathematics Subject Classification 2000, see the listings at European Mathematical Society or the American Mathematical Society.

The software tag is for some information about what program was used for producing this model. This information is related to the model generator in case it differs from the xml file generator. The xml file generator should be denoted in the meta tag with the generator attribute.
