Diamond 2 Programme Data Exchange (PDX) Schema v1.0 — PRE-TX (Programmes) This schema defines the XML structure for exchanging production metadata (PRE-TX) between broadcasters and Diamond 2 / TEP (The Everyone Project). This is the standalone PRE-TX schema. The Document root element accepts only Programmes data. For POST-TX (Publications), see Diamond2_PostTX_v1.1.xsd. Date: 12.04.26 Version: 5.2 XSD Version: 1.0 Note: Some business rule constraints (e.g., genre count restrictions, conditional requirements when remove="true") cannot be enforced by XSD 1.0 and are documented within the schema. These constraints will be validated by TEP during XML ingestion. Element Ordering: Ideally, this schema would allow all child elements to appear in any order. However, due to limitations in XSD 1.0, containers with repeating child elements (maxOccurs > 1) must use xs:sequence which mandates element order. Where possible (Episode type), xs:all has been used to allow flexible ordering. For containers that contain repeating elements (e.g., multiple Projects, Episodes, Genres, Tags), element order must follow the schema definition, though in practice this typically reflects the natural/logical ordering anyway. Optional identifier for broadcaster's internal use. Not ingested into TEP. Optional creation timestamp. Optional update timestamp. Optional commissioning department identifier (e.g., "Drama", "Entertainment"). Stored in broadcaster-specific namespaces in TEP. Broadcaster-specific internal supplier ID. Stored in broadcaster-specific namespaces in TEP. The Supplier identified here will be granted access to add cast and crew details to all projects under this Supplier in TEP. Optional supplier name. Used only for initial reconciliation with existing TEP accounts. Ignored after linking is complete. Optional company registration number. Used only for initial reconciliation with existing TEP accounts. Ignored after linking is complete. Optional greenlight date for the project/series. If omitted, this will be inferred as the date when this project ID was first sent to TEP in an XML file. Optional target date for delivery of first finished content to the broadcaster. This need only be the best guess of the target date when the first bit of finished content will be delivered. Production companies will be asked to complete this if not supplied by the broadcaster. IMPORTANT: Broadcasters who do not have this data should NOT include an empty element, as this would cause any date provided by the production company to be blanked out when the project data is passed in the XML feed. Optional genres container at project level. Must include exactly one Ofcom genre if present. OfcomSuper genre is optional (derived from Ofcom if absent). Commissioner genre is optional (maximum one allowed). These project-level genres can be overridden on a per-episode basis. If omitted, project genre will be populated from the first episode's genre data. Broadcaster-specific internal project/series ID. Project/series name (e.g., "Series 6"). Content medium type. Optional series number (e.g., "6"). Optional total number of episodes in this project/series. Optional project type. Set to "true" to delete a previously submitted project record. When removing, only the id attribute is required — all other attributes and child elements should be omitted. Optional tags for broadcaster-specific reporting on arbitrary attributes. Optional release date. If omitted, inferred as the earliest publicationDateTime encountered in Post-TX data. Optional genres container at episode level. If provided, overrides the project-level genres. Must include exactly one Ofcom genre if present. OfcomSuper genre is optional (derived from Ofcom if absent). Commissioner genre is optional (maximum one allowed). Broadcaster-specific internal episode ID. Episode name/title. Slot length/duration in ISO 8601 format (e.g., "PT1H" for 1 hour). Broadcast slot duration is acceptable; precise duration is not essential. If duration varies per version, provide a representative duration for most versions. Optional episode number. Optional supplier ID of the production company creating the content. Used when paperwork completion is outsourced to a different company than the content maker. This field is FOR REPORTING PURPOSES ONLY and does not grant the referenced production company any access to administer the project in TEP. If omitted, defaults to the parent Supplier.id. Set to "true" to delete a previously submitted episode record. When removing, only the id attribute is required — all other attributes and child elements should be omitted. Tag name/key (e.g., "series name"). Genre classification type. CONSTRAINTS (enforced by TEP during ingestion): - Ofcom: Mandatory, exactly one required. Validated against Ofcom's genre list. - OfcomSuper: Optional, maximum one allowed. Derived from Ofcom genre if omitted (every Ofcom genre is a child of a pre-defined supergenre parent). - Commissioner: Optional, maximum one allowed. Broadcaster-specific genre with no validation. Note: These count constraints cannot be enforced by XSD 1.0. An XSD 1.1 version with assertions could enforce these constraints for validators that support XSD 1.1.
