SXP Item specification format

We make the Items Specification via an XML schema. The Items described can be products and services. Users can create an xml file for describing their item and then insert it on the respective clause of the SXP Contract.

Structure of SXP Item schema

• Item Description. General description of the item. It includes:
  • Title (mandatory).
  • Brand.
  • Color.
  • Dimensions.
  • Description. A narrative description of the item.
  • Item information URL. An Url with information of the item.
  • Item picture URL. An Url with a picture of the item.
  • Number of Items.

• Item Category. It classifies the product in categories such as:
  • Clothing
  • Sports
  • Beauty
  • …

There are also several categories for services:

• • Teaching
  • Personal Caring
  • Transport
  • Other Services

Currently, it is only possible to select the category of the product. We may want to extend this and subdivide each category, or add specific information (e.g. duration on services, subcategories)
