XDS Actor/Transaction Diagram

Points of view

• Submission• Query/Retrieve

Submission

Actors – Document Source

• Has document to submit• Composes metadata to describe• Submits to Document Repository for retention– Using a Provide and Register Transaction

Actor - Document Repository

• Accepts document and metadata• Validates or adds size and hash attributes to

metadata (describing document)• Adds repositoryUniqueId to metadata (identify

Repository holding document)• Persist document contents (for later retrieval)• Forward updated metadata to Document

Registry in Register Transaction

Actor – Document Registry

• Accepts metadata describing documents• Persists metadata

Query/Retrieve

• All actions initiated by Document Consumer Actor

• Repository and Registry are infrastructure actors (they are primarily servers)

Stored Query

• Sent to Registry • Request contains parameters describing

objects in the registry• Two return types may be requested– LeafClass – full metadata of selected objects is

returned (can be quite big)– ObjectRef – simple ID returned for each object.

Allows secondary queries to pull detail XML metadata

Retrieve

• Sent to Repository to get contents of document(s)

• Two parameters needed from registry– repositoryUniqueId (which repository)– Document.uniqueId (which document in

repository)

Metadata Objects

• Moved between actors• Stored in Registry

Submission Set

• Each submission must be ‘wrapped’ in a SubmissionSet object (no actual encapsulation – more of a metaphor)

• Describes circumstances of submission.

DocumentEntry

• For each document in a Provide and Register transaction, the metadata must contain a DocumentEntry describing the document

• Part of SubmissionSet – linked by an Association

Associations

• Many types • HasMember type is used to link SubmissionSet

to DocumentEntry – The DocumentEntry is a “member” of the

SubmissionSet

Validation

How

• Test instance in Gazelle has chat window • Last entry should look like:– SSID 1.2.56543.6694847.74848.2

• This is the SubmissionSet.uniqueId attribute• Copy it and paste it into …
