It also discusses the issue of XML-illegal characters in the XML representation of the DFDL infoset.

Not CDATA, not character entities. They simply must not appear anywhere. I agree with Steve that XML compatibility is not the only requirement for a DFDL info set - we should not do anything to make it XML specific in a way that harms it generality. To balance that, I also think that the DFDL Working Group should be paying attention to the issues around XML compatibility, given that DFDL is based on XML Schema and many potential adopters of DFDL will want to know about XML compatibility. Mike's proposal of mapping illegal characters into the Unicode Private Use Area sounds like a reasonable approach for implementers to use. regards, Tim Kimber, DFDL Team, Hursley, UK Internet: kimbert(a)uk.ibm.com Tel. 01962-816742 Internal tel. 37246742 From: Mike Beckerle <mbeckerle.dfdl(a)gmail.com> To: Suman Kalia <kalia(a)ca.ibm.com>, Cc: dfdl-wg(a)ogf.org, dfdl-wg-bounces(a)ogf.org Date: 01/11/2012 15:14 Subject: Re: [DFDL-WG] proposal: DFDL needs additional function dfdl:characterCode Sent by: dfdl-wg-bounces(a)ogf.org Turns out the XML char entities are not an escape scheme for putting illegal chars in.

XML 1.0 disallows a bunch of string characters. If the data contains those characters, then the question arises of what to turn them into that both preserves information content, but also is legal in XML so that you can convert the DFDL infoset into XML without violating XML's constraints. The natural thing to do is create an element containing the character code of the illegal character, as an integer. E.g., character code U+0001 would become an element. Such as: <ccode>1</ccode>. This could be done using a hidden element that is a string, and the element ccode above would have an inputValueCalc that converts the offending character of that string into an integer. But we need a function dfdl:characterCode(str, pos) : int The arguments would be a string, and a position (base 1) within that string, and the return result would be the character code of the character in the string at that position. If pos is out of the bounds of the string (i.e., is negative, 0, or too large), then a processing error would occur. For unparsing the inverse function would also be needed: dfdl:character(intArg) : string. This would return a string containing one character whose codepoint is the intArg. Example Consider this data: 123<0>456<1>789<2>123l where <0> means just one character with codepoint 0, etc. In hex that would be 313233 00 343536 01 373839 02 313233 The best I can think of for modeling this while preserving all information would end up with XML looking like this: <nonXMLString> <fragment><stringData>123</stringData></fragment> <fragment><nonXMLChar><charCode>0</charCode></nonXMLChar></fragment> <fragment><stringData>456</stringData></fragment> <fragment><nonXMLChar><charCode>1</charCode></nonXMLChar></fragment> <fragment><stringData>789</stringData></fragment> <fragment><nonXMLChar><charCode>2</charCode></nonXMLChar></fragment> <fragment><stringData>123</stringData></fragment> </nonXMLString> So our nonXMLString is of a type which is array of fragment, a fragment is a choice of either (legal XML) stringData, or a nonXMLChar. The nonXMLChar has a child element because it will need to convert to from a string so will use inputValueCalc and outputValueCalc to do so, so it needs to be a sequence so that it can have the other hidden elements needed to pull this off. stringData would have lengthKind="pattern" and a pattern that allows any sequence of XML-allowed characters. nonXMLChar would have a hidden first child element of type string of explicit length 1 with an assertion that the string match a pattern that is any of the illegal characters (but just one of them). The charCode child element would inputValueCalc to get the character code of the character. For 8 bit encodings it would be ok as a table lookup in XPath, but for unicode..... we'd need a function that returns a character code. If you just have one embedded illegal character, like NUL, then you could just model it as a separator, which would simplify things considerably (and is possible in a someday XML 1.1 future since NUL is then the only disallowed character.) But for XML 1.0's illegal characters, we need to be able to convert to/from some non-string representation if we are to preserve information content. Hence we need these additional functions. -- Mike Beckerle | OGF DFDL WG Co-Chair Tel: 781-330-0412 -- dfdl-wg mailing list dfdl-wg(a)ogf.org https://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/dfdl-wg Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.

clarification: textBooleanTrue/FalseRep cannot be empty string? textStandardNaNRep and friends cannot be empty string.
by Mike Beckerle 19 May '16

19 May '16

We don't stipulate that textBooleanTrueRep nor textBooleanFalseRep cannot be empty string. We do stipulate that entity ES is not allowed. So I expect these properties cannot be "" meaning the same thing that "%ES;" would mean. Since we disallow the latter, we should disallow just "". Similarly, for textStandardGroupingSeparator, textStandardExponentRep, textStandardNaNRep, and textStandardInfinityRep we specify that the string literal value behaves as specified in textStandardDecimalSeparator, but we don't specify that these cannot be empty string (which is specified in textStandardDecimalSeparator, but not in the "Text Number Character Restrictions" part of that property description that is referenced from these other properties.) ES and WSP* are not allowed, so almost certainly empty string should not be allowed.

clarifications needed?: dfdl:contentLength function and dfdl:valueLength function on empty and literal nil representations, and escaping
by Mike Beckerle 19 May '16

19 May '16

The dfdl:contentLength function is defined in terms of the SimpleContent or ComplexContent regions of the grammar. Let's just look at Simple types for a sec. We do not specify what the dfdl:contentLength is for an element of SimpleType which has the SimpleLiteralNilElementRep or SimpleEmptyElementRep. I suggest the value should be zero for SimpleEmptyElementRep. When parsing, an empty element by definition has no content. The fact that a default value might be inserted because of the empty representation should not change the fact that there was no content. When unparsing, SimpleEmptyElementRep can occur if an empty string is the value of a string-valued element, or an empty byte array is the value of a hexBinary element. The grammar is just stipulating the different treatment of initiator/terminator for these special cases of empty things. The content is length zero. But consider the round-trip scenario. We parse data to the infoset. During parsing the dfdl:contentLength of an element having SimpleEmptyElementRep is zero. A default value is inserted. Now we unparse this same infoset. The default value's representation very well may be SimpleNormalRep, with non-zero dfdl:contentLength. I claim this is ok. This is just another case where some data formats don't round trip unchanged. It does add an implementation headache, which is if the contentLength is cached on the infoset item, you need separate cache locations to be used when parsing and when unparsing. For SimpleLiteralNilElementRep, it should be the length of the NilLiteralCharacters or NilElementLiteralContent regions. (Note: there's the word "Content" implying that we think of the nil literal representation as content. ) This applies to both parsing and unparsing. For elements of complex type, I think for both ComplexLiteralNilElementRep and ComplexEmptyElementRep, the dfdl:contentLength should be zero when parsing. When unparsing, again a complex default may be created (because default values for interior elements of the complex type might be filled in as part of the augmented infoset.) and the dfdl:contentLength might not be zero if these default values have non-zero content length. Again I think this is ok. For dfdl:contentLength, we should clarify that the length should also include the contributions of any escape characters, escape-escape characters, and escapeBlockStart/End characters. (This is implied, because such characters are in the "value" regions of simple types, and value regions are always contained in the content region, but I think the clarification is still helpful. Similarly we need to clarify what dfdl:valueLength does. For SimpleEmptyElementRep the dfdl:valueLength should be zero. For SimpleLiteralNilElementRep, the dfdl:valueLength should be zero, because a nilled element has no value. The corner case of SimpleLiteralNilElementRep for a nillable simple element of type xs:string - since a literal nil representation and a string value are ambiguous, should be handled by calling dfdl:contentLength instead of dfdl:valueLength. So a nillable string element with literal nil nilValue="nil", should have dfdl:valueLength of zero, but dfdl:contentLength (in characters) of 3. Same element but not nilled, containing the string "nil" as its value, would have dfdl:valueLength of 3 (characters), and dfdl:contentLength of 3 (characters). For complex type elements, dfdl:valueLength is already defined to be the same as dfdl:contentLength. For elements that are not represented (that is, elements that have the dfdl:inputValueCalc property on them), I believe both dfdl:valueLength and dfdl:contentLength should cause an SDE, as this has to be an error on the part of the schema author. (An argument can be made that these should return zero however. See next paragraph.) Note however that these functions can be called on elements of complex type that contain elements that are not represented. Such contained non-represented elements contribute zero to the content length in all cases. (Consistency with this is why calling dfdl:valueLength or dfdl:contentLength directly on a non-represented element might want to return zero, instead of SDE.) dfdl:valueLength is already specified to exclude the length of padding characters that are trimmed/added. I believe we should explicitly state that it *includes* the length of escape, escape-escape, and escapeBlockStart/End characters.

Steve, I see this only now, we will not have time this nor the coming week, as I want to discuss the proposal internally. We will review the proposal below and come back to you.

Discussed whether both range functions needed, and whether they should be allowed for float and double.

Clarification for nil processing and zero length
by Steve Hanson 11 May '16

11 May '16

The DFDL 1.0 spec current says: 9.3.2.1 Simple element If the result is length zero as described above, the representation is then established by checking, in order for: 1. nil representation (if %ES; is a literal nil value). 2. empty representation. 3. normal representation (xs:string or xs:hexBinary only) 4. absent representation (if none of the prior representations apply). But should bullet 1 be: 1. nil representation (if either %ES; or %WSP*; on its own is a literal nil value). I added a test to IBM DFDL and found that setting dfdl:nilKind="literalValue" & dfdl:nilValue="%WSP*;" did not match an element value of empty string. That surprised me, and I think the IBM DFDL code is strictly implementing bullet 1. Using "%WSP*;" is useful for allowing zero or more white space to mean <nil>. I could use "%WSP+; %ES" to achieve the same goal but I'm not sure that was the intent here. Quick response appreciated.

Asterix format - not compelling examples of bitOrder leastSignificantBitFirst but byteOrder bigEndian
by Mike Beckerle 10 May '16

10 May '16

http://www.eurocontrol.int/sites/default/files/content/documents/nm/asterix… The above is part of the Asterix spec. Some interesting data layouts are on pages: Page 28 - shows integer fields that span bytes. These are big-endian integers, however the bits are numbered in the prose LSBF. But DFDL doesn't use bit positions, it uses lengths. So that prose isn't needed. Page 30 - simple example of two single bit fields, followed by a 14-bit big-endian integer Page 35 - simple example of a single bit followed by a big-endian 15-bit integer Page 41 - String of 8 characters represented as 6-bit code points. (motivates the proposal for dfdl:character(...) function) In every case I see, it's very easy to model this data using bitOrder mostSignificantBitFirst and byteOrder bigEndian, and simply specifying the length (in bits) of the elements. It is just funny to look at the way they number the bits, and talk about the bit positions. Their numbering scheme uses bit 1 as the least-significant bit, but the order they present things starts first with the most significant bit. So in a 16 bit word, they'll start by describing "bit 16" first, which is the most significant bit first. So their bit numbers are assigned LSBF, but the "first" bit is the most-significant bit, first byte is the most significant byte (bigEndian). Now bit position numbers really don't play a role in a DFDL schema, so I'd say Asterix is really just bigEndian and mostSignificantBitFirst. There's nothing compelling here about the need for the additional combination of bigEndian with leastSignificantBitFirst bit order. So I guess I withdraw the suggestion that this combination is really needed by this Asterix format.
