¶ dx:listType
The type dx:listType allows you to define a collection of measurement results whose structures are subject to integrity checks. Basic structures are vector sizes. Recursive use of dx:listType allows the creation of matrix and tensor structures as well as higher dimension structures. The dx:listType can also be used to provide measurement results in combination with certain environmental conditions during measurement.
¶ Tree structure
The tree structure of the type dx:listType has the following appearance:

The 'list' element allows to define a collection of measurement results
which are subject to structures with integrity. Basic structures are
vector quantities. A recursive usage of 'list' allows the creation of
matrix and tensor structures as well as structures of higher dimension. The 'list'
may also be used to give measurement results in combination with some
ambient conditions at the measurement.

¶ Description of the elements
See the list of abbreviations here
| Element (Element type) |
Use | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dx:name (dx:textType) |
[O] | Text can be stored in this element. |
| dx:description (dx:richContentType) |
[O] | Other information not specified in the elements dx:name is specified here to describe the element. |
| dx:dateTime (xs:dateTime) |
[O] | This element can be used to specify a common measurement time for the child elements of this list. Definition: dateTime values can be considered as objects with integer year, month, day, hour and minute properties, a decimal-valued seconds property and a boolean timezoned property. |
| dx:dateTimeXMLList (dx:dateTimeXMLListType) |
[O] | Space separated list of dateTimes |
| dx:list (dx:listType) |
[O|M] | In a dx:list element, another dx:list element can be called. (Recursive call) |
| dx:quantity (dx:quantityType) |
[O|M] | The dx:quantity describes a single measurand used by the D-SI. Additional information can be specified in the same way as in the dx:list. |
| dx:methodList (dx:methodListType) |
[O] | In this element, the method used for calibration can be entered. |
| dx:softwareList (dx:softwareListType) |
[O] | In this element the used software can be entered, which contributed to the generation of the measurement results. |
| dx:measuringEquipmentList (dx:measuringEquipmentListType) |
[O] | In this element, the equipment used can be entered. |
| dx:influenceConditionList (dx:conditionListType) |
[O] | In this element the influences (e.g. environmental parameters) on the measurement can be entered. |
| dx:measurementMetaData (dx:metaDataListType) |
[O] | In this element all further additional information can be entered. |
¶ Attributes
| Attribute | Use | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dx:baseAttributeGroup | [O] | An attribute group called "baseAttributeGroup" is referenced here. This attribute group contains a set of attributes that are commonly used in elements of the DX. An attribute group is a reusable collection of attributes. |
