Generation - Descriptors Interchange Data

This section outlines the Descriptors Interchange generation rules.

Input & Precursors

Entities & Elements

Interchange-Descriptors.xsd contains 50 types, for each descriptor defined in the ODS. With some exceptions (marked with * below), Descriptor types all define the same fields listed below.
