<!--Keys, Values, Units. This DTD contains the structures that hold the actual data-->

<!--FigisTimeSeriesTagLib entity calls a group of common elements shared by the various DTDs. -->

<!--TS_DATA is the root data-holding element and consists of a group of one or more RECORDs.-->
<!ELEMENT TS_DATA (TS_RECORD+)>
<!ATTLIST TS_DATA
  %REM;

<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!--TS_RECORD is the container for a single data record. It contains a KEYDATA_LIST (consisting of OBJ_REFerences) that hold the IDs of the keys for a record. TS_RECORD also contains either one or more CELL_SERIES or one or more CELLs holding data values.-->
<!-- Creator of XML can choose what is more convenient -
perhaps generate CELL_SERIES if all cells of the same series are grouped
in source file, or generate individual CELLs if they are mixed..
-->

<!ELEMENT TS_RECORD (KEYDATA_LIST, (CELL_SERIES+ | CELL+), NOTE?)>
<!ATTLIST TS_RECORD
  %REM;

<!-- KEYDATA_LIST holds references to the keys for a record,
it must contain as many OBJ_REFs as many keys there are in the dataset
(see NUM_KEYS in KEY_LIST in TS_METADATA), in the same order
NOTE can be attached to the whole record, to a series or to an
individual cell
-->
<!-- CELL holds a data value.-->
<!-- Example: 
<TS_RECORD>
 <KEYDATA_LIST>
  <OBJ_REF><ID>Country008</ID></OBJ_REF>
  <OBJ_REF><ID>Species1230100909</ID></OBJ_REF>
 </KEYDATA_LIST>
  <CELL VARIABLE="Q" TIME_PERIOD="1979" SYMBOL="F" VALUE="200"/>
  <CELL VARIABLE="V" TIME_PERIOD="1979" SYMBOL="F" VALUE="0.0"/>
  <CELL VARIABLE="Q" TIME_PERIOD="1980" SYMBOL="F" VALUE="800"/>
  <CELL VARIABLE="V" TIME_PERIOD="1980" SYMBOL="F" VALUE="0.0"/>
  <CELL VARIABLE="Q" TIME_PERIOD="1981" SYMBOL="F" VALUE="500"/>
</TS_RECORD>

<!ATTLIST KEYDATA_LIST

<!--OBJ_REF identifies a key object (instance of OBJ defined in REF_DATA),
using ID, ATT_VAL, or NAME

<!--CELL_SERIES is a container for a single series (cells for a single variable),
and specifies VARIABLE and UNIT for all of them. This way individual CELL
elements don't have to have VARIABLE and UNIT attributes

<!ATTLIST CELL_SERIES
	ORDERED (yes | no ) "yes"
  	VARIABLE CDATA #IMPLIED
	UNIT CDATA #IMPLIED
  	%REM; 
>
<!-- ORDERED="yes" means that there is a CELL per each column inside the CELL_SERIES,
i.e. first CELL is for first column etc. 
This way individual CELLs do not need COL and TIME_PERIOD attribute
-->
<!--VARIABLE is the ID or ABBREV for VARIABLE element as in 'Q' for quantity of 'V' for value. See VARIABLE element in TS_METADATA. You must specify VARIABLE if dataset contains more than one. -->
<!--UNIT is the ID or ABBREV for measurement unit for the value.
See UNIT element in TS_METADATA. If omitted, default unit for this variable is taken
-->


<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!--CELL is the core data-holding element. It holds one numeric value for
a cell along with attributes that identify the CELL -->
<!ELEMENT CELL (NOTE?)>
<!ATTLIST CELL
	COL CDATA #IMPLIED
	TIME_PERIOD CDATA #IMPLIED
  	VARIABLE CDATA #IMPLIED
	UNIT CDATA #IMPLIED
  	SYMBOL CDATA #IMPLIED
	VALUE CDATA #IMPLIED
  	%REM; 
>
<!-- NOTE contains optional remarks about the cell. -->
<!-- COL is sequence number for a column -->
<!--TIME_PERIOD (a time slice) is an ID for a TIME_PERIOD (column). You can specify either COL or TIME_PERIOD  -->
<!--VARIABLE is the ID or ABBREV for VARIABLE element as in 'Q' for quantity of 'V' for value. See VARIABLE element in TS_METADATA. You must specify VARIABLE if dataset contains more than one. -->
<!--UNIT is the ID or ABBREV for measurement unit for the value.
See UNIT element in TS_METADATA. If omitted, default unit for this variable is taken
-->
<!--SYMBOL is a data symbol (flag) or a string consisting of several symbols.
Each of them is a CHAR of SYMBOL element (see TS_METADATA)
-->
<!-- VALUE contains the actual data. -->
<!-- Example: 
  <CELL TIME_PERIOD="1979" SYMBOL="F" VALUE="200"/>
-->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- NOTE  -->
<!ELEMENT NOTE (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST NOTE
  	%REM;

<!-- NOTE contains optional remarks about a cell or cell series. -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!--This is the end of the Time Series Data DTD.-->
