Data Description
The ISIR record layout/data description lists all the XML tags available for the ISIR record, provides a brief
description of the field and lists valid field content for each tag. The layout is based on the 2003-04 ISIR data
and will be modified as necessary for 2004-05.
A few fields have valid values that are too many to list here, so we provided one attachment to provide what
those valid values are (See Valid Field Values Attachment). Also, note that in most cases when there is a non-
response to a data field, the tag/field simply will not be provided with the ISIR record sent by the CPS. “Nil”
indicates that a response was initially provided but subsequently was changed to a blank response. Below are
some XML-specific notes for the ISIR. They address some issues that are commonly understood among
experienced XML programmers, but might not be known by those new to this technology. The information in
this section is not intended to be a complete XML primer, as there are many excellent complete and detailed
publications out on the subject. However, we hope that by passing along these lessons learned, this discussion
will help ease XML technology-related 'growing pains'.
An entity reference is a group of characters that are used in text to substitute for a single specific character. The
characters that need this substitution are very few; they are essentially the markup delimiters in XML. Using the
entity reference prevents a literal character from being mistaken for a markup delimiter. For example, if the
value for an attribute must contain a left angle bracket (<), you can substitute the entity reference "<". Entity
references always begin with an ampersand
(&) and end with a semicolon (;). The entities predefined in XML are identified in the following table:
