| <h1 class="topictitle1">Adding a notation</h1> |
| <div><p>A notation is a means of associating a binary description with |
| an entity or attribute. For example, you are making a catalogue of your clothing |
| and want to include an image of one of your shirts. You would have to create |
| a notation such as the following: <kbd class="userinput"><notation name="My_Shirt" |
| system="GIF"></notation></kbd> which defines a notation for a GIF |
| image.</p><div class="skipspace"><p>In the XML schema editor, you can add an notation element to an |
| XML schema. Before you can do this, you must create an XML schema and open |
| it in the XML schema editor.</p> |
| <p>The following instructions were written |
| for the Resource perspective, but they will also work in many other perspectives. </p> |
| <p>To |
| create a notation, follow these steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Open your XML schema in the XML schema editor.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the Outline view, right-click your XML schema and click <span class="uicontrol">Add |
| Notation</span>.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the Properties view, type the name of the notation in the <span class="uicontrol">Name</span> field.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click the <span class="uicontrol">Other</span> tab.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">public</span> field, type a public identifier.</span> This is optional if you enter a value in the <span class="uicontrol">system</span> field.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">system</span> field, type a URI reference.</span> This is optional if you enter a value in the <span class="uicontrol">public</span> field.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click the <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span> tab if you want |
| to provide any information about this notation.</span> The <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span> page |
| is used for human readable material, such as a description, and the <span class="uicontrol">App |
| Info</span> page can be used to provide information for applications. </li> |
| </ol> |
