Schematron Strict Selection Validation Rules
============================================
This is the set of Schematron rules that have been created to enforce the use of the "Unordered" stereotype.
These rules ensure that the number of entries in an unordered complexType of an element obey the multiplicity constraints.
This is required so that any-order/any-multiplicity complexTypes can be constructed and validated.
Schematron validation rules for the enforcement of the Unordered stereotype.

Any namespaced element from any namespace may be included within an "any" element.
The namespace for the imported element must be defined in the instance, and the schema must be imported.
The extension has a definition of "strict" i.e. they must have their own namespace.
Any namespaced element from any namespace may be included within an "any" element.
The namespace for the imported element must be defined in the instance, and the schema must be imported.
The extension has a definition of "lax" i.e. they can reuse elements from the target namespace.
The AccessElement complexType is the container for the accessibility information defined
as an access element i.e. the atomic unity for the new accessibility content. Each access
element has a unique identifier and points to the source content (either in the original
QTI content or to another access element). An access element can refer to more than one s-
ource content structure.
The AccessibilityInfo complexType is the container for all of the new content defined for
teh set of accessibility features.

tion is to be achieved. The reduction process is defined in terms of groups that are hand-
led separately.
The APIPAccessibility complexType is the top level container for all of the APIP informat-
ion used to describe the accessibility features to be added to a QTI XML description of a
QTI Item. This optional information consists of: companion materials, external supplement-
al accessibility information, the inclusion orders to be used rendering the content in te-
rms of the new accessibility information, and the set of accessibility information itself.
The AudioFileInfo complexType is the container for the accessibility content contained in
an external audio file. The start and durations are supplied so that one audio file can be
used to support more than one accessibility element.
The BrailleText complexType is the container for the text string that is to be passed to a
Braile reader.

calculator available for use with the APIP Items. A human readable description of the cal-
culator should also be available.
The CharacterStringLink is the container for the identification of the start and stop cha-
racters to which the text link refers.
The CompanionMaterialsInfo complexType is the container for information about materials a-
nd tools that the examinee is expected to work with while performing the relevant QTI Ite-
m(s). These materials and tools may include a reading passage, rule, protractor, calculat-
or, etc.
The ContentLinkInfo complexType is the container for the link information between the new
accessibility information and the original content (this can be in the original QTI or an-
other piece of accessibility information). The link can refer to a string, a word, a char-
acter or an object.
The DefinitionId complexType is the container for the keyword translation for a specific
language for the associated text.
The ElementOrder complexType is the container for the identification of the order in which
the associated accessibility element (identified by the 'identifierRef' value).
The ElementOrderList is the complexType container for the definition of the order in which
the set of accessibility elements are to be applied for the associated accessibility supp-
ort.
This is the container for the supplemental information that can be used to provide further
guidance on how to render the alternative accessibility information i.e. the use of the P-
ronunciation Lexicon Standard (PLS), etc.
The Guidance complexType is the container for the content to provide guidance through the
original material. The gidance takes the form of supporting language learners and those r-
equiring cognitive guidance.
The GuidanceSupport complexType is the container for the definition of the order in which
the guidance is to be presented and the text string used as part of the guidance.
The InclusionOrder complexType is the container for the inclusion order for the set of ac-
cessibility elements for each of the accessibility capabilities. Only those accessibility
capabilities addressed in the instance are provided i.e. an instace is NOT required to pr-
ovide information for all of these capabilities. Note that there is no preferred order for
this set of inclusion order descriptions.

or, using SI units, to be used with the set of APIP Items. The Protractor is defined in t-
erms of its increment resolutions.

or, using US units, to be used with the set of APIP Items. The Protractor is defined in t-
erms of its increment resolutions.
The ItemFileInfo complexType is the for the 'href' pointer to an external file. The 'href'
should contain sufficient information for the correct location of the file within the ass-
ociated Content Package (all files must be contained within the content package that is u-
sed to contained the APIP Item).
The KeyWordTranslation complexType is the container for the keyword translation text cont-
ent. Support for multiple languages is provided.

ject.

that is to be used to support the APIP Items. The Protractor is defined in terms of its r-
adial resolution. A human readable description of the tool should also be available..
The RelatedElementInfo complexType is the container for the accessibility information for
a specific access element. Only those accessibility capabilities supported for an instance
are included. Note that there is no preferred order for this information.
The RemoveTagGroup complexType is the container for the answer reduction instructions for
the associated group.
The RevealAlternativeRepresentation complexType is the container for the alternative repr-
esentation that is to be rendered. Note that each alternative representation must be defi-
ned as its own access element.

with the set of APIP Items.

piece of scaffolding has an associated order of revelation for the alternative content..
The ScaffoldBehavior complexType is the container for the scaffolding. This content can t-
ake the form of audio, text and verbal materials.
The SignFile complexType is the container for the links to the external signing files. Si-
gning is available as video or bone animation files.
The Signing complexType is the container for the instructions for the provision of signin-
g. ASL and Signed English are the supported modes for signing.

sing SI units, to be used with the set of APIP Items. The Rule is defined in terms of its
length and increment resolution.
The Spoken complexType is the container for the spoken accessibility content as an altern-
ative to visual content.
The StructuredMask complexType is the container for the settings to be aplied to a struct-
ured mask usage. The settings are the order of revelation for this object and whether or
not it is to be applied to the answer fields of a question..
The TactileFile complexType is the container for the audio/Braille accessibility content
as an alternative to tactile content.

The USRuleSystem complexType is the container for the simple specification of the Rule, u-
sing US units, to be used with the set of APIP Items. The Rule is defined in terms of its

be used to support more than one accessibility element.

units.
