Schema Releases

There are two levels of release for public download:

  • Approved Public Release - intended to be fully QA tested and validated and suitable for building commercial release software implementations.
  • Beta Public Release (Working Release) - intended to provide software implementers with the most recent valid 'work in progress' schema versions for software developers to build test software implementations that use recently requested schema extensions in between Approved Public Releases.

For further details, see procedures (pdf).

From Public Release 4, two versions of cfiXML were made available: cfiXML LT and Full cfiXML.  The cfiXML LT schema is a subset of Full cfiXML, developed to support the use of simple XML serialization tools and enable developers with limited XML experience to be able to develop data exchange systems easily and cost-effectively.

For further information please see guidelines documentation.
