Preparation


How To Prepare For This Meeting

 

Please bring profile sheets if you have them available or data dictionary information. We will be discussing the XML Schema payloads for RETS2, in particular, we will be focusing on the Teams.xsd, Members.xsd, Offices.xsd, Listings.xsd, Properties.xsd and Media.xsd. Additional understanding of Features.xsd and Financials.xsd will be useful as well as an understanding of RETSCommons and Primitives.xsd.

You can find the most recent work on these at http://www.ftc2.com/rets/ws_files/index.html

There is also some ancillary documentation.

This meeting will be successful if we come out of it with consensus on names for the elements. This is a working meeting and active participation is expected of the participants.

Additionally, definitions for the elements are being added directly to the schema in an attempt to keep the definition synchronized with the schema. We need help to build this body of knowledge.

If possible, we would also like to know about any data type information that you can share with us for these elements and data quality.
