This schema is an implementation of the VRA Core Categories, Version 4.0.
It defines a wrapper element (vra), which can hold any number of
record-level elements (collection, work, image). These elements can be
nested to indicate collection-work-image hierarchies.
This schema extends the VRA 4.0 unrestricted schema to provide
restrictions to improve interoperability.
The five generic type values allowed for key-value pairs.
Defines a date which follows the ISO 8601 date format, and allows
right truncation (unlike the XML Schema date datatype). This datatype
does not allow for time or time zone information.
In brief, the following formats are allowed:
present
2006 (2006)
2006-12 (December, 2006)
2006-12-31 (31 December 2006)
-44 (44 BCE)
-44-03 (March, 44 BCE)
-44-03-15 (15 March, 44 BCE)
-10000000 (10 Million Years Ago)
-100000000000 (100 Billion Years Ago)
