1. Conformance

Sections marked as non-normative, as well as all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.

The keywords MAY, MUST, MUST NOT, OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED, REQUIRED, and SHALL are to be interpreted as described in [rfc2119].

2. Introduction

This section is non-normative.

iiRDS is a standard for the delivery of intelligent information in the scope of user assistance for products. The information is provided with the product for the purpose of assisting the users in setting up, operating, and maintaining the product. Intelligent information is defined as technical documentation content enriched with metadata.

iiRDS consists of:

iiRDS provides a common vocabulary for technical documentation content that enables users and applications to search and retrieve content based on common terms. Examples are standardized terms for product lifecycle phases (such as maintenance and operation) and information types (such as task and learning). iiRDS does not standardize terms that are defined by the manufacturer or supplier of the product, such as component names or product features. For these cases, iiRDS provides docking points that enable iiRDS Generators to add their custom vocabulary.

iiRDS is capable of processing many file formats and different levels of granularity, for example classic PDF files, 3D animations, as well as highly structured XML topics. The intelligent part (i.e. contextualization) of iiRDS is not achieved by structured content but by metadata.

For the content files delivery in the package, iiRDS Generators use arbitrary content formats or the restricted iiRDS HTML5 format. The restricted format consists of a predefined set of XHTML elements and media formats for maximum compatibility between iiRDS Consumers. Packages with this format are called iiRDS/A packages. See iiRDS XHTML5 Format.

2.1 Purpose of iiRDS

iiRDS is a standard for delivering packages with user assistance content that include both content and metadata. The metadata are delivered in an RDF file and use the iiRDS vocabulary. iiRDS Generators can extend the predefined iiRDS vocabulary with custom classes and instances, according to the rules for proprietary extensions. See iiRDS Domains and Proprietary Extensions.

iiRDS enables the exchange and assembly of digital user assistance content across systems and manufacturers. iiRDS Consumers use the common iiRDS vocabulary to find and assemble information according to information types, target audience, and working task. iiRDS supports update scenarios for digital user assistance. Depending on the format of the content in the iiRDS package, iiRDS Consumers adapt the content to the end device.

iiRDS does not stipulate any requirements regarding the tools and formats used for authoring the content.

Package information in iiRDS/A is suitable for long-term archiving. iiRDS Generators can use iiRDS/A packages that have predefined, restricted content formats and are self-contained.

2.2 iiRDS in the Context of Other Standardization Initiatives

iiRDS uses metadata from the following international standard:

Other initiatives include:

2.3 Who defines iiRDS?

Starting 2016, iiRDS was developed by volunteers of the working group "Information 4.0" of tekom, the German Association for Technical Communication. In January 2018, the newly founded iiRDS Consortium took over the work and is now responsible for the further development of iiRDS.

3. Scope

This standard specifies the package and metadata formats for the exchange of technical documentation. It does not specify how the formats are implemented on the generator or consumer side.

4. Terms and Definitions

This section is non-normative.

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

Note: For definitions and explanations of the iiRDS schema, see iiRDS RDF Schema Reference.

5. iiRDS Package and Container

An iiRDS package is a bundle of information units including content and metadata for delivery from an iiRDS Generator to an iiRDS Consumer. An iiRDS package MUST implement an iiRDS ZIP archive.

5.1 iiRDS Container

An iiRDS container is a directory structure that includes all files of an iiRDS package.

An iiRDS container MUST have a single root directory.

5.1.1 Metadata Location

An iiRDS container MUST have a directory META-INF. The directory is exclusively used for metadata on the iiRDS package and its contents.

The META-INF directory MUST contain the file metadata.rdf containing all metadata in RDF 1.1 XML syntax (see [rdf-syntax-grammar]). It is RECOMMENDED for iiRDS Consumers to ignore any other files in the META-INF directory.

5.1.2 Content Location

All other files (content, like PDF, HTML, media, Javascript, CSS) MUST be stored in arbitrary subdirectories below the root directory. Content files MUST NOT be placed in the root directory or in META\-INF directory.

iiRDS Container

Figure 1 iiRDS Container Structure

5.1.3 Names of Files and Directories

For file and directory names, all Unicode characters [UNICODE] MAY be used, with the exception of the following characters:

  • /,”\*:<,>\
  • the DEL character (U+007F)
  • characters from the ranges U+0000 to U+001F and U+0080 to U+009F
  • characters from the private use Unicode areas

File names are case-sensitive and MUST be unique within their parent directories. The length of file names is limited to 255 characters. Full path names (file names including the full directory path from the root) MUST NOT exceed 260 characters).

Limits have been chosen based on limits of commonly used file systems.

5.2 iiRDS ZIP Archive

An iiRDS ZIP archive is an iiRDS container implementation using a ZIP archive, e.g. for transportation and exchange between systems. The iiRDS ZIP archive is the default implementation of the iiRDS container. All processing applications MUST support this implementation. The file name of the iiRDS ZIP archive MUST have the file name extension .iirds.

iiRDS ZIP archive

Figure 2 iiRDS ZIP Archive Structure

The ZIP archive file format is defined in [ZIP].

In addition to the iiRDS container specifications, the root directory of the ZIP file MUST contain a file named mimetype. It MUST contain the following ASCII-encoded text in a single line, without any line delimiters such as CR or LF:

application/iirds+zip

The file MUST be the first entry in the ZIP file and it MUST be stored uncompressed (“Stored” mode). By doing so, file types contained in iiRDS ZIP archives can be detected automatically without having to unpack the archive.

5.2.1 Mimetype of iiRDS

iiRDS ZIP archives are associated with the MIME type application/iirds\+zip.

5.2.2 Content Encoding

In the ZIP archive, all file and directory names are UTF-8 encoded according to [ZIP].

All other files in the ZIP are either uncompressed (“Stored” compression mode) or compressed in “Deflated” mode. The ZIP archive MUST use the ZIP64™ extension [ZIP] if the file size is bigger than 4 GB or the package has more than 65536 file entries.

The iiRDS ZIP archive MUST NOT be encrypted.

6. The iiRDS Metadata Model in the RDF Schema

6.1 The iiRDS RDF Schema and Identifiers

iiRDS provides a vocabulary for documentation metadata as an RDF schema. The RDF schema contains the vocabulary and docking points for proprietary extensions.

The iiRDS vocabulary uses the following identifiers:

.

6.2 Information Units

The iirds:InformationUnit is an abstract base class for pieces of intelligent information. Information units link user assistance content to metadata; they represent a specific set of metadata for a piece of information. iiRDS Generators MUST NOT use the iirds:InformationUnit class directly but MUST use one of the subclasses. An instance of an iirds:InformationUnit subclass MUST have an IRI and MUST NOT be a blank node.

The class iirds:InformationUnit has the following subclasses:

The subclasses iirds:Document, iirds:Topic, and iirds:Fragment represent metadata sets for intelligent information in different granularities: from the document to the fragment.

iirds:Document, iirds:Topic, and iirds:Fragment MAY refer to a physical file or a part of a file in the iiRDS package. But iirds:Document, iirds:Topic, and iirds:Fragment MAY also model abstract entities without a physical file in the iiRDS package.

6.2.1 InformationUnit Identifier

The subclasses of iirds:InformationUnit contain instances that link metadata to pieces of technical information. The property rdf:about identifies these instances using an internationalized resource identifier ([rfc3987]).

It is RECOMMENDED to use absolute IRIs in rdf:about. Additionally, it is RECOMMENDED to generate IRIs as follows:

  • Keep the IRI of rdf:about globally unique.
  • Keep the IRI of rdf:about stable over packages and time if the IRI identifies the same subject.
  • If the source system has a meaningful identifier such as a unique ID from the CMS, use it to generate an IRI for rdf:about.
Example 4: Topic and fragment with a globally unique resource identifier.
    <iirds:Topic rdf:about="https://myCompany.com/iiRDS/myPackage/2017-07-22/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000">
        <iirds:title>Example Topic</iirds:title>
    </iirds:Topic>

<iirds:Fragment rdf:about="urn:uuid:6e8bc430-9c3a-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66">
    <iirds:title>Example Fragment</iirds:title>
</iirds:Fragment>

6.2.2 Information Objects

Information objects are instances of the iirds:InformationObject class. They group information units that logically contain the same information and only differ in language or revision. Information units that are language variants or revisions of another information unit have a relation to the same information object via the iirds:is-version-of property.

Information units MAY be related to information objects. If information objects are used, each information unit MUST only be related to exactly one information object via iirds:is-version-of.

An information object MUST have an absolute IRI and MAY be related to additional identifications via the iirds:has-identity property.

Example 5: An Information object with two language variants. The English variant has two revisions, the German only one.

</rdf:RDF>

6.3 Content References of Information Units

Information units are abstract entities that assign metadata to content. Renditions of the content are stored as files in an iiRDS package. An iirds:InformationUnit MAY reference files in an iiRDS package by the property iirds:has-rendition.

iirds:Rendition refers to the physical file in the package. To identify the physical file, the property iirds:source MUST relate the rendition to the URL of the physical file. The URL MUST be relative to the root folder of the iiRDS package. An iirds:Rendition MUST also have the property iirds:format.

Example 6: A topic with reference to a file
<iirds:Topic rdf:about="http://myCompany.com/iiRDS/myProject/myPackage/topic_1">
    <iirds:has-rendition>
        <iirds:Rendition>
            <iirds:format>application/xml</iirds:format>
            <iirds:source>rendition/general_safety.xml</iirds:source>
        </iirds:Rendition>
    </iirds:has-rendition>
</iirds:Topic>

An information unit MAY have one or more physical renditions in an iiRDS package. To reference multiple renditions, an information unit has multiple iirds:has-rendition properties. For each rendition, an information unit MAY reference the whole file or select a part or range.

6.3.1 Reference Part of File by Selector

The class iirds:Selector references parts of files. The property iirds:has-selector relates iirds:Rendition to an iirds:Selector. iirds:Rendition MUST NOT directly use iirds:Selector but MUST use one of its subclasses to reference parts of a file. The class iirds:Selector has the following subclasses:

  • iirds:FragmentSelector
    Selects a part of a file by a single identifier.
  • iirds:RangeSelector
    Selects a part of a file by a start and an end identifier.

To select parts of a file, an iirds:Selector MUST have an rdf:value and dcterms:conformsTo. The value MUST conform to the standard specified by the property dcterms:conformsTo. Only a standard from the following list of fragment selectors MUST be used: [https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/#fragment-selector].

6.3.1.1 Reference Part with Single Identifier

The iirds:FragmentSelector refers to a single identifier in a file.

Depending on the file format and the associated standard, a single identifier of a fragment selector MAY select a range in a file.

6.3.1.2 Reference Part with Start and End Identifier

The iirds:RangeSelector points to the part of a file by a start and end selector. The range selector MUST be used to identify a range in a file if the file format or the associated standard do not permit selecting a range directly. The range selector references the start selector and end selector by the properties iirds:has-start-selector and iirds:has-end-selector.

6.3.2 Media Files

iiRDS represents media files as instances of information units. As iiRDS is not file-centered but content-centered, a media file is modeled depending on its actual content.

If a media file is not self-contained, then it MUST be modeled as iirds:Fragment.

Example 12: Fragment rendered as an image in an HTML page
    <iirds:Fragment rdf:about="http://myCompany.com/iiRDS/myProject/myPackage/topic_786">
        <iirds:has-rendition>
            <iirds:Rendition>
                <iirds:format>text/html</iirds:format>
                <iirds:source>rendition/general_concepts.html</iirds:source>
                <iirds:has-selector>
                    <iirds:FragmentSelector>
                        <dcterms:conformsTo rdf:resource="http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023"/>
                        <rdf:value>#overview</rdf:value>
                    </iirds:FragmentSelector>
                </iirds:has-selector>
            </iirds:Rendition>
        </iirds:has-rendition>
    </iirds:Fragment>

6.4 Relations of InformationUnits

iiRDS relation properties link information units with information types, documentation metadata, and administrative metadata. iirds:InformationUnit MAY use relation properties.

For a list of all relation properties, see the iiRDS RDF Schema Reference.

6.5 Information Types

6.5.1 Types of Documents and Topics

In order to support user searches for specific types of information, iiRDS provides standardized document and topic types.

Instances of the iirds:Document class MUST have one or more relation to one of the standardized iirds:DocumentTypes defined in iirds:InformationType > iirds:DocumentType.

It is RECOMMENDED to create more than one relation to iirds:DocumentType for documents with mixed content.

All instances of the iirds:InformationUnit subclasses MAY have one or more relations to one of the standardized topic types defined in iirds:InformationType > iirds:TopicType. iirds:TopicType MAY also be used for fragments.

Instances of the iirds:Topic and iirds:Fragment classes MAY have a relation of type iirds:applicable-for-document-type to one of the standardized document types defined in iirds:InformationType > iirds:DocumentType.

6.5.2 Information Subjects

iiRDS information subjects describe the nature of the content, what the content is about. They represent typical information types and usage scenarios for technical documentation.

The property iirds:has-subject relates an iirds:InformationUnit to an information subject. An iirds:InformationUnit MAY have multiple iirds:has-subject relations to multiple information subjects.

6.6 Documentation Metadata

iiRDS iirds:DocumentationMetadata describes the relevance of the content and additional filter conditions related to the content.

iiRDS distinguishes between iirds:FunctionalMetadata and iirds:ProductMetadata:

iirds:DocumentationMetadata subclasses without further subclasses are docking points. A docking point MAY be extended by proprietary subclasses and instances to model company- or industry-specific resources.

6.6.1 Functional Metadata

iirds:FunctionalMetadata enables iiRDS Consumers to implement advanced content delivery scenarios. An iiRDS package MAY contain iirds:FunctionalMetadata.

The following subclasses are available:

  • iirds:Event: Represents events in the technical equipment. Instances of the iirds:Event class MUST have the following properties: iirds:eventCode and iirds:eventType. The iirds:Event class is a docking point for iiRDS Generators to link documentation content with event information code according to a standard like OPC-UA or a custom convention. The property iirds:relates-to-event links iirds:InformationUnit with iirds:Event.

  • iirds:Supply: Describes tools, spare parts, and supplies for a task. The property iirds:relates-to-supply links iirds:InformationUnit with iirds:Supply.

  • iirds:PlanningTime: Planning times describe intervals or periods of time required for or resulting from specific working tasks. The property iirds:has-planning-time links iirds:InformationUnit with iirds:PlanningTime.

  • iirds:Qualification: Describes industry- or company-specific vocational qualifications, certificates, training, and roles. iiRDS does not provide standardized terms for these concepts because the terms vary largely between countries and industries. The property iirds:relates-to-qualification links iirds:InformationUnit with iirds:Qualification.

6.6.2 Product Metadata

iirds:ProductMetadata contains classes for storing information on products, components, lifecycle phases, and product features. Subproperties of iirds:relates-to-product-metadata link iirds:ProductMetadata to iirds:InformationUnit.

The subclasses iirds:ProductVariant and iirds:Component are docking points. The class iirds:ProductFeature contains the subclasses iirds:ProductProperty and iirds:ProductFunction as additional docking points. A docking point MAY be extended by proprietary subclasses and instances to model company- or industry-specific resources.

iiRDS subclasses of iirds:ProductLifeCyclePhase represent standard product lifecycle phases.

6.7 Products and Components in iiRDS

iiRDS models products and components as metadata for technical documentation. The metadata iirds:Component or iirds:ProductVariant MAY have a relation to the physical product or component.

The properties iirds:relates-to-component and iirds:relates-to-product-variant relate an information unit to an instance of iirds:Component or iirds:ProductVariant. The instances MUST be part of a proprietary iiRDS extension.

6.7.1 Component Trees in the Package

An iiRDS package MAY model a component tree. The property iirds:has-component defines part-of relations for products and their components. The component tree is a proprietary iiRDS extension, it MUST be stored in the metadata.rdf of the iiRDS package.

Note

iiRDS does not differentiate between components and products when modeling component trees.

6.7.2 External Product Ontology

In addition to a component tree within a package, some parties MAY have a full-fledged external product ontology. A proprietary iiRDS extension MAY map the metadata labels in the package to the external product ontology. The product ontology MUST NOT be a proprietary iiRDS extension and MAY use another vocabulary than RDF and RDFS.

Note

While iiRDS product metadata represents metadata labels for information units, the products and components in the external product ontology represent the physical items.

An iiRDS package MUST NOT use an external product ontology directly. If an external product ontology is available and used in the iiRDS package, then the iiRDS package MUST also contain metadata labels as instances of iirds:Component.

An iiRDS package with iirds:Component MAY use iirds:has-component relations to model a component tree.

To map the component tree in the iiRDS package to the external product ontology, a mapping ontology MUST use the property rdfs:seeAlso.

The property rdfs:seeAlso MUST relate the instance of the component in the iiRDS package to the external product ontology. The property rdfs:seeAlso MAY be part of the file metadata.rdf in the iiRDS package or part of the external product ontology.

6.7.3 Product Variants

iiRDS provides the class iirds:ProductVariant for extending the iiRDS vocabulary and adding proprietary product variants. As product variants are a proprietary iiRDS extension, they MUST be present in the metadata.rdf of the iiRDS package.

Example 23: Definition of a proprietary product variant
<iirds:ProductVariant rdf:about="http://myCompany.com/iirds/myProject/myPackage#FreshDelightE61">
    <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Fresh Delight E61</rdfs:label>
</iirds:ProductVariant>

To map product variants in the iiRDS package to an external product ontology, a mapping ontology MUST use the property rdfs:seeAlso.

The property rdfs:seeAlso MUST relate the instance of the product variant in the iiRDS package to the external product ontology. The property rdfs:seeAlso MAY be part of the file metadata.rdf in the iiRDS package or part of the external product ontology.

6.8 Administrative Metadata

All administrative metadata classes are subclasses of the class iirds:AdministrativeMetadata and group administrative information.

Administrative information is often used and stored in document management systems (DMS) or component content management systems (CCMS) for administrative purposes and MAY be added to an iiRDS entity.

Administrative metadata in iiRDS MAY be used in compliance with [IEC82045-2] and [VDI2770]. For further information, see the corresponding standard documents.

6.8.1 Complex Identity

Instances of the iirds:Identity class are unambiguous identifications of entities in the scope of a given domain. Instances of the classes iirds:ProductVariant, iirds:Component, iirds:InformationObject, and iirds:InformationUnit MAY have iirds:has-identity relations to iirds:Identity instances.

An iirds:Identity instance consists of two parts: the value and the domain. The value MUST be provided as a non-empty string in the iirds:identifier property. An identity MUST point to exactly one domain by the iirds:has-identity-domain property. The domain is an instance of the iirdsIdentityDomain class.

Instances of class iirds:IdentityDomain MUST have an absolute IRI and MAY link to the custodian of the domain via the iirds:has-party property. Custodians are contained in instances of the iirds:Party class.

6.8.2 Content Lifecycle Status

An iirds:InformationUnit MAY have iirds:has-content-lifecycle-status relations to one or multiple iirds:ContentLifecyleStatus instances to describe different status or status transitions in the administrative content lifecycle.

An iirds:ContentLifecyleStatus MUST have an iirds:ContentLifecyleStatusValue which is assigned by the iirds:has-content-lifecycle-status-value property. It MAY have additional associated dates or annotations.

6.8.3 Parties and Roles

An iirds:Party MAY be assigned to any iirds:InformationUnit, iirds:ContentLifecycleStatus, iirds:Component, iirds:ProductVariant or iirds:IdentityDomain to express the relation to an associated actor with a specific role in this context.

An iirds:Party MUST have a related iirds:PartyRole that is assigned by the property iirds:has-party-role, such as author, supplier or manufacturer.

In addition to the role, an iirds:Party MUST also have an associated description of itself as compliant vcard:kind object which is assigned via iirds:relates-to-vcard.

7. iiRDS Domains and Proprietary Extensions

7.1 iiRDS Extension Scenarios

Additional classes and instances MAY extend the iiRDS core vocabulary. iiRDS supports the following extension scenarios:

A party that generates or processes an iiRDS package MAY combine iiRDS domains and proprietary iiRDS extensions.

All proprietary extensions that are used in a package MUST be contained in the file metadata.rdf in the iiRDS package. The file metadata.rdf MUST NOT contain the iiRDS schema or iiRDS domain extensions.

7.2 iiRDS Domain Extensions

iiRDS domain extensions are additional classes and instances that extend the iiRDS core vocabulary. iiRDS domain extensions are part of the standard iiRDS.

Instances and classes of iiRDS domain extensions are contained in sub-namespaces of iiRDS. The following iiRDS domain extensions are used:

Note

The iiRDS standard does not stipulate how to combine iiRDS core vocabulary with extension vocabulary.

7.3 Proprietary iiRDS Extensions

By using proprietary iiRDS extensions, iiRDS vocabulary MAY be extended. Proprietary iiRDS extensions contain project-specific instances, classes, and properties.

A proprietary iiRDS extension MUST fulfill the following conditions:

Proprietary iiRDS extensions MUST only use RDF and RDFS vocabulary in their extension ontology. If OWL DL is used in an additional ontology, then the ontology is not iiRDS-compliant but MAY be mapped to the iiRDS vocabulary by means of the seeAlso property. For details read section External Product Ontology.

7.3.1 Adding a Proprietary Instance

Proprietary iiRDS extensions MAY add instances directly as an instance of an iiRDS class.

Example 38: Adding a proprietary instance to iiRDS class
    <rdf:RDF xml:lang="de" xmlns:iirds="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#"
      xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
      xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">
        <iirds:Role rdf:about="http://myCompany.com/myProject#ServiceTechnician">
            <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Service Technician</rdfs:label>
            <rdfs:label xml:lang="de">Servicetechniker</rdfs:label>
        </iirds:Role>
    </rdf:RDF>

7.3.2 Adding a Proprietary Class

Proprietary iiRDS extensions MAY add classes directly as subclasses to an iiRDS class. The following example adds the proprietary class Error to the iiRDS class iirds:Event as a subclass. A proprietary implementation adds its proprietary instances to the Error class and an iiRDS Consumer finds them by searching for instances of the iirds:Event class.

Example 39: Adding a proprietary subclass to an iiRDS class
    <rdf:RDF xml:lang="de" xmlns:iirds="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#"
      xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
      xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">
        <rdfs:Class rdf:about="http://myCompany.com/myProject#Error">
            <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Error</rdfs:label>
            <rdfs:label xml:lang="de">Fehler</rdfs:label>
            <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#Event"/>
        </rdfs:Class>
    </rdf:RDF>

Proprietary iiRDS extensions MAY add proprietary classes as equivalent classes. The property rdfs:subClassOf expresses equivalence of classes.

Example 40: Adding a proprietary class as an equivalent class
    <rdfs:Class rdf:about="http://myCompany.com/myProject#ProductPart">
        <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#Component"/>
    </rdfs:Class>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#Component">
        <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://myCompany.com/myProject#ProductPart"/>
    </rdf:Description>

7.3.3 Adding a Proprietary Property

Proprietary iiRDS extensions MAY add proprietary properties as a subproperty of an iiRDS property. Proprietary properties MUST comply with domain and range of the iiRDS property. The following example shows a proprietary property that relates iirds:InformationUnit to iirds:ProductLifeCyclePhase.

Example 41: Adding a proprietary property as a subproperty of an iiRDS property
    <rdf:Property rdf:about="http://www.myCompany.com/iirds/myExtension#has-maintenance-interval">
        <rdfs:subPropertyOf rdf:resource="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#has-planning-time"/>
        <rdfs:domain rdf:resource="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#InformationUnit"/>
        <rdfs:range rdf:resource="http://iirds.tekom.de/iirds#MaintenanceInterval"/>
    </rdf:Property>

8. Content formats in iiRDS

8.1 Unrestricted iiRDS vs. iiRDS/A

An unrestricted iiRDS package MAY include any kind of content files. An iiRDS/A package MUST only include content files with a restricted set of formats.

Type and purpose of the content file are described by the iiRDS metadata. The use of metadata is the same for the restricted and the unrestricted set of content formats.

An iiRDS/A package MUST fulfill all of the following criteria::

Example 42: Usage of the formatRestriction property
    <iirds:Package rdf:about="urn:uuid:0d6f0611-e0bd-42c0-a842-b38617d46988">
        <iirds:iiRDSVersion>1.0</iirds:iiRDSVersion>
        <iirds:formatRestriction>A</iirds:formatRestriction>
    </iirds:Package>

8.2 Self-contained iiRDS/A Packages

An iiRDS package is self-contained if all URIs used in the iiRDS XHTML5 files point to local resources contained in the package except for the following cross-reference mechanisms:

attribute href
references attribute id on element a
references attribute id on element area
references attribute id on element link
attribute cite
references attribute id on element q

iiRDS Consumers MAY omit these cross-references, e.g. if there is no internet access, and the content MUST be still consumable.

9. iiRDS/A Media Formats

Media in iiRDS/A packages MUST use the formats listed in this section. An unrestricted iiRDS package uses any media format.

9.1 Text Formats

iiRDS XHTML5

Structured textual content MUST be encoded as iiRDS XHTML5. The file extension MUST be .xhtml.

PDF/A

Structured textual content MAY be encoded as PDF/A-3 (ISO 19005-3:2012). Non-structured textual content MUST be encoded this way. The file extension MUST be .pdf.

9.2 Graphics Formats

9.2.1 Raster Formats

PNG / JPEG

Raster graphics MUST be encoded as

  • PNG 1.2 (ISO/IEC 15948:2003) or higher using the file extension .png.

OR

  • JPEG (ISO/IEC 10918-1:1994) or higher using the file extension .jpg.

9.2.2 Vector Formats

SVG

Vector graphics MUST be encoded as restricted SVG 1.1 (W3C Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 (Second Edition) 2011). The file extension MUST be .svg for non-compressed files and .svgz for gzip-compressed files.

The following restrictions apply to the SVG format:

  • Only static language features of SVG that correspond to the feature string http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/feature#SVG-static MUST be used.
  • All linked resources (e.g. CSS, graphics, fonts) MUST be included in the iiRDS/A package.
  • Only JPG and PNG graphics according to this section MUST be used.
  • Reference to SVG media in iiRDS XHTML5 MUST use <img src="[filename]"/>.

9.3 Video Formats

MP4 (AVC/H.264)

Video content MUST be encoded as MP4 (ISO/IEC 14496-12 and -14) as container format and MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC/H.264), MPEG-4 Part 3 as codecs. The file extension MUST be .mp4.

9.4 Audio Formats

MP3

Audio content MUST be encoded as MP3 (ISO/IEC 11172-3, ISO/IEC 13818-3). The file extension MUST be .mp3.

10. iiRDS XHTML5 Format

10.1 Overview

iiRDS XHTML5 is a profile of HTML5 for use in the context of iiRDS/A packages.

The XHTML document type defined by this specification is based on XHTML5. For details on HTML5 vs. XHTML5, see https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/introduction.html#html-vs-xhtml. Thus iiRDS XHTML5 inherits all definitions of semantics, structure and processing behaviors from the HTML5 specification unless otherwise specified.

Note

A similar approach to define a subset of HTML5 for a specific purpose is HTMLBook. See https://oreillymedia.github.io/HTMLBook/ for details.

As such, iiRDS XHTML5 is characterized in the following ways:

Note

The scope of iiRDS XHTML5 is to provide an easy to generate content transport and exchange format.

iiRDS XHTML5 is not meant as a presentation format. HTML5-capable browsers display a typical iiRDS XHTML5 file without additional effort but for state-of-the-art visualization and navigation, the content delivery relies on additional transformations or stylesheets. Because on purpose of iiRDS is supporting the aggregation of content and harmonized access to content from different sources, this is a conscious decision. Consequently, HTML5 elements that control navigation, display, interactivity, etc. are omitted from the iiRDS XHTML5 definition. Examples of omitted elements are <script>, <nav>, and <iframe>.

Unfortunately, so far there is no official XML schema for [HTML5](#HTML5). See [https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC\-html5\-20141028/the\-xhtml\-syntax.html\#parsing\-xhtml\-documents](https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/the-xhtml-syntax.html) for details. Respectively, there is no official XML schema for iiRDS XHTML5 either.

10.2 iiRDS XHTML5

This section defines a profile of [HTML5] for creating iiRDS XHTML5 content. An instance of an XML document that conforms to this profile is referred to as an iiRDS XHTML content in this specification.

Unless otherwise specified, this specification inherits all definitions of semantics, structure, and processing behaviors from the [HTML5] specification.

Only elements mentioned in this specification are part of iiRDS XHTML5.

If no content model or attributes are specified explicitly, then iiRDS XHTML5 MUST comply with the [HTML5] specification.

10.3 Conformance Criteria

iiRDS XHTML5 content MUST fulfill all of the following criteria:

10.4 Global Attributes

Global attributes are attributes common to all HTML elements. They MAY be applied to all elements.

Only the following subset of "Global attributes" from the HTML5 specification (https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#global-attributes) MUST be used in iiRDS XHTML5 elements:

The global-attribute data-role is permitted for some specific elements.

The HTML5 specification for the attribute 'class' points out that “authors are encouraged to use values that describe the nature of the content, rather than values that describe the desired presentation of the content.” In contrast, iirds:class in iiRDS XHTML5 MUST only be used for styling. An iiRDS XHTML5 consumer MUST be able to ignore or modify class values without loss of meaning.

10.5 Elements

The following sections list the complete set of HTML5 elements availabe in iiRDS XHTML5. The element names are each linked to the HTML5 recommendation.

Attributes: Only global attributes and element-specific attributes specified in the iiRDS XHTML5 specification MUST be used.

10.5.1 Main Root

<html>

10.5.2 Document Metadata

<head> , <title> , <link>

The element <link> MUST be used only with the content attribute rel="stylesheet". Link types are always ASCII case-insensitive and MUST be compared as such. Relations usually represented by the element <link> in HTML MUST be expressed by means of RDF in iiRDS.

10.5.3 Sections

<body>, <h1–h6> , <section>

10.5.4 Grouping Content

<dd> , <div> , <dl> , <dt> , <figcaption> , <figure> , <li> , <ol> , <p> , <pre> , <ul>

Element-specific Content Attributes

Element Attribute
li (only inside ol) value
ol reversed
ol start
ol type

10.5.5 Text-Level Semantics

<a> , <abbr> , <b> , <bdi> , <bdo> , <br> , <code> , <em> , <i> , <kbd> , <q> , <s> , <samp> , <small> , <span> , <strong> , <sub>, <sup> , <u> , <wbr>

Element-specific Content Attributes

Element Attribute
a href
q cite

10.5.6 Embedded Content

<area> , <audio> , <img> , <map> , <source> , <track> , <video>

Element-specific Content Attributes

Element Attribute
area alt
area coords
area href
area shape
audio, img, video autoplay (not img)
audio, img, video alt (only img)
audio, img, video controls (not img)
audio, img, video height (not audio)
audio, img, video loop (not img)
audio, img, video mediagroup (not img)
audio, img, video muted(not img)
audio, img, video poster (only video)
audio, img, video preload (not img)
audio, img, video src (img), src (audio,video)
audio, img, video usemap (only img)
audio, img, video width (not audio)
map name
source src
track default
track kind
track label
track src
track srclang

10.5.7 Scripting

Scripting MUST NOT be used in iiRDS XHTML5.

10.5.8 Edits

<ins> , <del>

10.5.9 Tabular Data

<caption> , <col> , <colgroup> , <table> , <tbody> , <td> , <tfoot> , <th> , <thead> , <tr>

Element-specific Content Attributes

Element Attribute
col span
colgroup span
table border
td,th colspan
td,th headers
td,th rowspan
th scope
th abbr

10.5.10 Forms

Forms MUST NOT be used in iiRDS XHTML5.

10.5.11 SVG, MathML and IFrames

The elements <svg>, <math> and <iframe> MUST NOT be used in iiRDS XHTML5 content.

10.6 Additional Semantic Tagging of Content

The attribute data-role on HTML5 elements MAY express semantics of elements. Tagging with data-role MUST only be used with hazard statements.

If an iiRDS package contains content with hazard statements, then the iiRDS package MUST always provide the applicable safety alert symbols and signal words.

Note

The major objective of semantic tagging with data-role is to enable iiRDS Consumers to render information correctly on a display device. Hazard statements have a predefined structure not sufficiently reflected by the HTML5 element structure. A hazard statement consists of a safety alert symbol, a signal word, a message panel, and a symbol panel.

The data-role attribute MUST be used only in the situations described here. The attribute values given in the following table MUST be used.

Content Attributes Specific to Hazard Statements

data-role Value(s) Element Usage
caution, warning, danger, notice div Tags a div element to contain a hazard statement with the severity identified by the value.
signalword-panel div Tags a signal word panel of a hazard statement.
safety-alert-symbol img Tags a safety alert symbol of a hazard statement. The img element MUST be a child of the signal word panel. Only one safety alert symbol MUST be included.
signalword p Tags the signal word in the signal word panel of a hazard statement.
symbol-panel div Tags a panel that contains additional hazard symbols.
message-panel div Tags the message panel within a hazard statement.
Example 43: Tagging
<div data-role="caution">
    <div data-role="signalword-panel">
        <img data-role="safety-alert-symbol" src="..."></img>
        <p data-role="signalword">Caution</p>
    </div>
    <div data-role="symbol-panel">
        <img src="..."></img>
    </div>
    <div data-role="message-panel">
        <ul>
            <li>...</li>
            <li>...</li>
            <li>...</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

10.7 Styling

CSS stylesheet files MAY be referenced from the XHTML5 files for additional markup.

iiRDS XHTML5 is designed as an exchange format for structured content. It is RECOMMENDED for iiRDS Consumers to pre-process iiRDS XHTML5 content before displaying it.

An additional CSS stylesheet MAY be included, but processing of the content MUST NOT rely on the stylesheet. It is not specified how to mesh up accompanying CSS stylesheets and target-system CSS stylesheets.
