13.7.4 Practical Details
The prototype authenticity management tool is an online web tool, accessed from
a web browser, there are no requirements for special browser plug-ins. The tool
provides an Authenticity Administrator and an Authenticity Capture Sections to
the tool accessed through high level menus. The Administrator area allows the set-
ting up of an Authenticity project and the importing of Authenticity protocols. The
Authenticity capture area allows the capture of authenticity information and the
sign-off of the protocol as complete.
13.7.5 The XML Schema
Capturing and recording the complex protocol information is done by creating an
XML document conforming to the protocol XML schema showing in Fig.
13.7
.
The XML schema defines exactly what is in the XML protocol document. Each
protocol document applies to one project, at the top level the schema describes some
reference information about the project, the name of the project, a description, the
project domain.
The schema then defines a header Section which is aimed at recording key con-
text information such as an overall description of the protocols and their purpose,
the author or the protocols document, its creation date and a reference or identifier
to the project the protocols are associated with.
