<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am currently experiencing some problems with
implementing TCS 1.01</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are a couple of elements that do not have a
simple element, like Genus (type=ReferenceType) or Rank
(type=TaxonomicRank),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>therefore you don't expect a value for these
elements, although it is not invalid and the documentation suggests that there
is a value. If there is a value, you don't know if it is a string or something
else.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Based on the schema you would expect
<P><FONT color=#000096><Genus</FONT><FONT color=#f5844c> ref</FONT><FONT
color=#ff8040>=</FONT><FONT color=#993300>"ref1"</FONT><FONT color=#f5844c>
linkType</FONT><FONT color=#ff8040>=</FONT><FONT color=#993300>"local"
/</FONT><FONT color=#000096>></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000096>but in an instance doc you will probably get:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000096><Genus<FONT color=#f5844c> ref</FONT><FONT
color=#ff8040>=</FONT><FONT color=#993300>"ref1"</FONT><FONT color=#f5844c>
linkType</FONT><FONT color=#ff8040>=</FONT><FONT color=#993300>"local"
/</FONT><FONT color=#000096>>Xyz</Genus> or even
<Genus>Xyz</Genus></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000096>Applications that generate sample docs based on the
schema, like oXygen, or parse the schema, like Pywrapper Schema Parser will not
treat the element as having a value.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000096>This is probably also the cause that aliases for these
elements are missing in the TAPIR Concept Name server at TDWG: <A
