Data Types Common Schemas
The datatypes_<version>.xsd schema file (where <version> is the HL7 version number) contains the definition of all the HL7 elementary and composite data types for the corresponding HL7 version. The segments_<version>.xsd file uses this file to match the corresponding HL7 version. The DataStructures Access database table generates the DataTypes_<version>.xsd schema file. The following example is an entry for the HL7 elementary data type ST:
<xsd:simpleType name="ST">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string" />
</xsd:simpleType>
This example defines ST as a string.
