<!--#DOCUMENTATION:Purpose:

This DTD describes instances of a Table of Contents file for shipments of files from the PTO to PaDaCap Contractor. The shipment files contain either images (in CCITT Group 4 format) of USPTO patent application source docuements, or XML data exported from PTO systems. The shipment files and directory structure will be in one media, be it a tape, CD, or a ZIP or TAR file, or some other format.-->

<!--#DOCUMENTATION:Caveats:

1. Although this DTD contains elements describing PreGrant shipments, the current PreGrant process does not support shipments in this form yet.

2. This DTD could be used to create a TOC for sending replacement files as well as initial shipments, but no method of distinction between the two is provided for.

3. This DTD could be used to create a TOC for sending partial as well as complete shipments, but no method of distinction between the two is provided for.--> <!--#DOCUMENTATION:The list of all applications exported in this instance.--> <!ELEMENT ExportList (ExportID , ExportDate , AppCount? , Application+ , AppCount?)>

<!--#DOCUMENTATION:The ExportType is based on whether the export is an (E)arly capture, (P)reGrant, (I)nitial, (F)inal, or (Q)uery export.

An Early Capture export contains applications that are being captured for delivery to PTO examination databases.

A PreGrant export contains applications that are intended to be published as PreGrant.

An Initial export contains allowed applications that have not been previously exported and are not ready for publication.

A Final export contains applications that were previously exported and/or are ready for publication.

A Query export contains specifically requested applications that were previously exported unsuccessfully.--> <!ATTLIST ExportList ExportType (E | P | I | F | Q) #REQUIRED>

<!ELEMENT LoadDate (#PCDATA)>

<!--#DOCUMENTATION:The Code delineates the area of concern for the information being exported.

For instance, if the Document contained image files for the specification, the Code value would be SPEC.

Although any value will be allowed by the DTD, only some values will be expected by PaDaCap Contractor processes. All others will be unexpected.

It will be necessary for the PTO to notify PaDaCap Contractor in the event of changes to either the list of values expected, or the nature of items included in an expected value.

The values currently expected in a PreGrantDocument are listed in "PACR Migration DocCodes.doc".

The values currently expected in an AllowanceDocument or AfterAllowanceDocument are listed in "draftOPPIB-IFWdatasourcesOct2.doc".
