⚙️ XSD Configuration File

This page documents the structure and meaning of configuration file used to extract metadata from .xsd files, specifically for versions 1.4.3 and 1.5.0.

These JSON config file drive the behavior of XSD parsing scripts and influence the generated detailed CSV output (detailed_*.csv).

Top-Level Keys

Key	Type	Description
filename	bool	Includes the XSD filename in output.
namespace	bool	Extracts the targetNamespace of the schema.
name	bool	Extracts the @name attribute of the root element.
type	bool	Extracts the @type attribute of the root element.
element_types	dict	Mapping of element names to extraction rules (see below).

These keys are identical in both config versions.

---

element_types

Each entry under element_types defines how a specific element should be matched and which data should be extracted.

Common Options per Element

Key	Type	Description
match	string	Attribute to use for identifying elements (e.g. name, ref, substitutionGroup).
exist	bool	If true, check if the element exists in XSD file
minOccurs	bool	If true, extract the minOccurs attribute value.
fixed	bool	If true, extract the fixed attribute.
type	bool/"unique"	Extract all type attributes; "unique" means extract only unique values.
attributes	dict	Nested attributes to extract (e.g. code_base, code_suffix).
> Note:
> If match is not defined for an element in the config, the default matching attribute is name.

"KategorieObjektu": {
      "match": "name",
      "fixed": true
    }

attributes

The attributes dictionary allows specifying particular attributes of complex elements to extract.

Each key in attributes represents an attribute name (e.g. code_base, dim, etc.), and its value is a list of attribute properties to extract from that attribute:

"attributes": {
  "code_base": ["fixed", "use"],
  "dim": ["fixed", "use"]
}

Specifics for version 1.4.3

In XSD version 1.4.3, GeometrieObjektu does not have a defined type.
If GeometrieObjektu is present in element_types, the geometry type is saved automatically.
