Element: project

Description:
The project element groups data into sections with a common destination or purpose, which is denoted by the "name" attribute.

Children: (in order)

reporting-center	1
sample	1 or more
typing-test-names	0 or more

Element: reporting-center

Description:
The reporting-center element specifies the origin of the data as a center code.

Children: none

Element: sample

Description:
A "sample" element encloses the typing data pertaining to a particular sample. It may contain multiple typing elements. One for each locus, for instance. Any sample-level properties may be defined with property elements.

Children:

property	0 or more
typing	1 or more

Element: typing

Description:
The typing element encapsulates a typing call combined with other primary data that may have been used to determine that call (sso, ssp, and/or sbt elements).
Contains:

1. at most one interpretation element, which must appear first if present
2. as many sso, ssp, and/or sbt elements as needed

Children:

interpretation	0 or 1 (must appear first)
sso	0 or more
ssp	0 or more
sbt	0 or more

Element: interpretation

Description:
interpretation element specifies the typing call at allele/code level. Usually contains one or two haploid elements for a particular locus, but may contain more if multiple loci are covered (example: two DRB1 haploids + one DRB3 haploid). As an alternative, it may contain genotype list(s) to represent the type(s).

Children:

haploid	1 or more, or
genotype-list	1 or more

Element: haploid

Description:
A haploid element specifies one-half of a full typing at a particular locus.

Children: none

Element: genotype-list

Description:
A genotype-list represents a full unambiguous list of possibilities for the typing of a sample. The values of the elements in this genotype-list (each allele element) should conform to the naming nomenclature used by the the source specified by the db attribute (if provided) or should be fully understood by the message recipient (if not provided).

Children:

diploid-combination

1 or more

Element: diploid-combination

Description:
A diploid-combination element is one possibility value in a genotype list. There may be either one or two locus-block child elements, depending on whether the data provided in this diploid-combination covers one or two chromosomes.

Children:

locus-block

1 or 2

Element: locus-block

Description:
A locus-block element allows allele-list elements to be grouped together to mean one allele-list is a possibility if and only if all others are. This is useful, for example, in the case when listing DRB1 alleles next to the corresponding DRB3 alleles that are relevent in only some cases:

    <locus-block>
        <allele-list>
            <allele>DRB1*030101</allele>
            <allele>DRB1*0303</allele>
        </allele-list>
        <allele-list>
            <allele>DRB3*0203</allele>
        </allele-list>
    </locus-block>

Children:

allele-list

1 or more

Element: allele-list

Description:
An allele list element is a representation of the list of allele possibilities for a type. NMDP has historically used allele codes in combination with allele families to represent this. Example: A*01BC can now be represented as:

    <allele-list>
        <allele>A*0102</allele>
        <allele>A*0103</allele>
    </allele-list>

Children:

allele

1 or more

Element: allele

Description:
An allele element specifies a single allele. It should be given in LOCUS*NAME format and names must be at allele-level resolution. The value should conform to the naming nomenclature used by the the source specified in the enclosing genotype-list element (if it was provided) or should be fully understood by the message recipient (if it was not).
Example:

    <allele>A*010101</allele>

Children: none

Element: sso

Description:
Specifies an SSO test that was done. Scores are required, along with a reference for resolving what SSO probes correspond to the list of scores. Only one of "ref-id", "probe-name", or "nmdp-refid" may be given.

Children: none

Element: ssp

Description:
Specifies an SSP test that was done. Scores are required, along with a reference for resolving what SSPs correspond to the list of scores. Only one of "ref-id", "name", or "nmdp-refid" may be given.

Children: none

Element: sbt

Description:
Specifies an SBT test that was done. The result of the test (the DNA sequence) is given in the child "sequence" element.

Children:

sequence

1

Element: sequence

Description:
The sequence element contains the DNA sequence obtained from an SBT test. Primary (A, C, G, T) and wildcard nucleotides (M, R, W, S, Y, K, V, H, D, B, X, N) may be used (ex: "<sequence>CCGGAGTATTGGGACCAGGAGACACGGAATATGAAGGCCCAC</sequence>")

Children:

PCDATA

Element: typing-test-names

Description:
The typing-test-names element specifies a list of test names internally referenced by an sso element or an ssp element. It wraps a list of "typing-test-name" elements.

Children:

typing-test-name

1 or more

Element: typing-test-name

Description:
A typing-test-name element specifies a test name contained in a referenced "typing-test-names" list.

Children: none

Element: property

Description:
A property is a generic name-value pair

Children: none
