Generic Value Types
Here is a list of the available types for node or attribute values:
| Value Type Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Integer | A signed or unsigned integer value represented in base 10. Uses a dash ‘-’ (U+002D) as a prefix to denote negative numbers Eg 15 or -6 |
| Float | A floating point numeric value represented in base 10 decimal or scientific format. Uses full stop ‘.’ (U+002E) to delimit the whole and decimal part and ’e’ or ‘E’ to delimit mantissa and exponent. Implementations shall write sufficient decimal places to precisely round-trip their internal level of precision. Infinities and not-a-number (NaN) are not permitted. Eg 1.5, 3.9265e+2 |
| String | Any sequence of Unicode codepoints, encoded as necessary for XML. Eg The following XML encodings (with their meaning in brackets): < (<), & (&), > (>), " ("), and ' (’) |
| UUID | A UUID to RFC4122 in text representation. The nil UUID (all zeros) is not permitted. Formatted as XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX |
| Vector | Three Float values separated by ‘,’ defining a 3D vector’s X, Y, and Z components. Eg 1.0,2.0,3.0 |
| FileName | The case-sensitive name of a file within the archive. The filename must not contain any FAT32 or NTFS reserved characters. The extension is delimited from the base name by full stop ‘.’ and the base name shall not be empty. It is recommended to limit filenames to the POSIX “Fully Portable Filenames” character set: [A-Z], [a-z], [0-9], the symbols ‘_’ (U+005F), ‘-’ (U+002D) and a maximum of one ‘.’ (U+002E) Eg My-Fixture_5.gdtf |
| CIE Color | CIE 1931 xyY absolute color point. Formatted as three Floats x,y,YEg 0.314303,0.328065,87.699166 |
