Appendix A: Common Types

An abstract type for derived content package types, elements and objects. This structure may be used verbatim, optionally extending with additional attributes, or may be redefined to include only a subset of child elements and/or to add validation to XML contained in XMLData. Only one instance of XMLData, TextData, BinaryData or Reference can occur in a single instance.

The GUID that uniquely identifies an instance of the package.

Contains an arbitary XML element, encoded in UTF-8.

Contains arbitrary text, encoded in UTF-8.

Optional MIME type to specifically indicate the text type. Otherwise text/plain can be assumed.

Optional file name to indicate the file from which the content originated, or to suggest a name to use when saving the content.

Contains an optional description of the content or a processing hint with regard to its structure (e.g. named standard, file layout or XSD). Contents may be mandated in instances of this type, or types that follow the AbstractContentPackageType pattern.
