B DICOM XML Schemas

This appendix lists the names of the DICOM XML schemas used by the methods of the ORDDicom object type. When Oracle Multimedia DICOM is installed, these schemas are automatically registered as global XML schemas in Oracle Database with Oracle XML DB (see Registering XML Schemas).

This appendix describes the XML schemas that define the structure of these DICOM configuration documents:

Anonymity
Constraint
DICOM Protocol
Manifest
Mapping
Preference
Private Dictionary
Standard Dictionary
Stored Tag List
UID Definition

This appendix also describes the XML schemas that define the DICOM standard data types, the default DICOM metadata schema, and the metadata data types used by DICOM metadata schemas.

Table B-1 lists the DICOM XML schemas by .xsd file name, and includes a brief description and the namespace for each schema.

Table B-1 DICOM XML Schemas

Schema Name	Description	Namespace
`ordcman.xsd`	Defines the structure of anonymity documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/anonymity_1_0`
`ordcmct.xsd`	Defines the structure of constraint documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/constraint_1_0`
`ordcmrdt.xsd`	Defines the DICOM standard data types.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/datatype_1_0`
`ordcmmd.xsd`	Defines the default DICOM metadata schema.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/metadata_1_0`
`ordcmdp.xsd`	Defines the structure of DICOM protocol documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/protocol_1_0`
`ordcmmft.xsd`	Defines the structure of manifest documents. These documents are created when exporting a set of configuration documents from a DICOM repository. This schema specifies the name of each configuration document, its document type, and the load order to be used when importing the configuration document into a DICOM repository.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/manifest_1_0`
`ordcmmp.xsd`	Defines the structure of mapping documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/mapping_1_0`

`ordcmpf.xsd`	Defines the structure of preference documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/preference_1_0`
`ordcmpv.xsd`	Defines the structure of private dictionary documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/privateDictionary_1_0`
`ordcmsd.xsd`	Defines the structure of standard dictionary documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/standardDictionary_1_0`
`ordcmstl.xsd`	Defines the structure of DICOM stored tag list documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/attributeTag_1_0`
`ordcmui.xsd`	Defines the structure of UID definition documents.	`http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/dicom/UIDdefinition_1_0`

The latest versions of these XML schemas are available as files in the ord/xml/xsd directory under <ORACLE_HOME>. To locate and examine the schemas, query the dictionary view ALL_XML_SCHEMAS (see Finding User-Defined XML Schemas). For additional information, read the documentation embedded within each schema file.

The DICOM XML schemas are associated with one or more DICOM configuration documents. The latest versions of these XML documents are available as files in the ord/xml directory under <ORACLE_HOME> when Oracle Multimedia DICOM is installed. See Configuration Documents in the Repository for more information about these documents.
