‌Introduction‌
1. ‌Purpose
  This document is designed to describe an XML binding for the AICC CMI communication data model. It uses the following approaches to this description: XML schemas for the binding, and examples of messages using the XML bindings.
2. ‌Scope
  This document provides a guide to binding the CMI communication data model to an XML file. The scope of this document does not extend to how this information may be used. One use includes communicating information on student behaviors and performance from an Offline CMI system to an LMS. Other uses for this binding may also be appropriate.
3. ‌Document Conventions
  The version number used herein is broken into 3 parts. The first part is the major version, the second is the minor version, and the third is the errata version. The specification version is a combination of the first two (major and minor). The namespace of XSDs will only reflect the specification version (i.e. the major and minor version numbers). The errata version is specific to each document (i.e., the errata version is not necessarily synchronized for the specification document and each XSD document). For example, the spec may be on version 1.2 while the main document might be 1.2.3, ToAU schema might be on 1.2.5 and ToLMS might be on 1.2.7.

‌Communication Data Model‌

This section covers all the data that may be communicated between the CMI and content.

In the following chapters, the binding of this data to an XML format is described in an XML schema (XSD).

The table below lists all elements in this data model. Each element is defined and described in CMI Guidelines for Interoperability version 4.0, AICC document CMI001. The section indicated is where the description is located.

Table Legend:

Data Element Indicates the name of the data element.

Section This column refers to the CMI Guidelines document (CMI001 version 4.0). It indicates the chapter and section in which the definition of the data element may be found.

CMI Obligation This indicates whether the data element is required or optional for a CMI or LMS system.

Comm Directn The direction in which the data travels. If it goes to the CMI from the AU the →symbol is used. If it goes from the AU to the CMI the ← symbol appears. If the data values goes both ways, the ↔ symbol appears.

AU Obligation This indicates whether the data element is required or optional for an AU (or content).

‌XML Communication Schemas‌
The information sent to the AU differs from the information sent to the LMS. Two XML schemas are thus defined to represent the CMI XML: toAU.xsd and toLMS.xsd respectively.
While the schemas allow a description of the data type for each element, the description is not necessarily comprehensive for the complex data types in the AICC CMI Guidelines. Because the data types for some of the elements are so complex, it would burden the schemas to the point where understanding is compromised. The schemas are not meant to be a comprehensive test suite for CMI communication instances.

Best practice recommendation: Producers of CMI XML should omit leading and trailing whitespace for element values. Consumers of CMI XML should strip leading and trailing whitespace when processing element values.
