Disclaimer

This description is meant to inform the community how to layout the information within the XML files. However, should the information in this document and the canSAS 1D SAS XML Schema differ, the XML Schema will be deemed to have the most correct description of the standard.

General Layout of the XML Data

required XML file header

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SASroot version="1.0">

alternative XML file header (referencing a stylesheet)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="example.xsl" ?>
<SASroot version="1.0">

overall file: layout of SASroot

  • SASroot
    • SASentry
    • SASentry
    • SASentry ... (for each data set, time-slice, step in a series, new sample, etc.)

each data set: layout of the SASentry

  • SASentry
    • Title
    • Run
    • SASdata (this is where the reduced 1-D SAS data is stored)
    • SASsample
    • SASinstrument
    • SASprocess
    • SASprocess
    • SASprocess... (for each processing or analysis step)
    • SASnote
    • SASnote
    • SASnote... (anything at all)

rules

  1. no whitespace padding of value fields
  2. Q=(4 π / λ) sin(θ)
    where λ is the wavelength of the radiation and 2θ is the angle through which the detected radiation has been scattered.
  3. units to be given in standard SI abbreviations (eg, m, cm, mm, nm, K) with the following exceptions:
    1. um=micrometres
    2. C=celsius
    3. A=Angstroms
    4. percent=%.
    5. fraction
    6. a.u.=arbitrary units
    7. none=no units are relevant (such as dimensionless)
  4. where reciprocal units need to be quoted the format shall be "1/abbreviation"
  5. Unicode characters MUST NOT be used
  6. axes:
    1. z is along the flight path (positive value in the direction of the detector)
    2. x is orthogonal to z in the horizontal plane (positive values increase to the right when viewed towards the incoming radiation)
    3. y is orthogonal to z and x in the vertical plane (positive values increase upwards)
  7. angles:
    1. roll is about z
    2. pitch is about x
    3. yaw is about y

Validation of XML against the Schema

  1. open browser to: http://www.xmlvalidation.com/
  2. paste content of candidate XML file into the form
  3. replace standard canSAS1D XML header with canSAS1D XML Schema validation header (see below)
  4. press <validate>
  5. paste content of cansas1d.xsd XSD file into form and press <continue validation>
  6. check the results
