The Territorial Authority code as selected from the predefined list nominated by the Department of Internal Affairs Whether INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE. If the local record has not been sent to the National Dog Database before it should be marked INSERT. If the local record has been sent before and is being re-sent to reflect changes it should be marked UPDATE. If the local record has been deleted (as opposed to being merely superseded) then it should be marked DELETE. In the latter case the record should contain the data that was held immediately prior to the local delete. Where the local record has changed several times prior to it being sent to the National Dog Database, the record type should be set form the NDD's perspective so that if the NDD has not seen a record before it should be set as INSERT even if it was updated locally before being sent. The data in the record should reflect the state of the record at the time of sending and any record should only appear once in the file. The year of the registration. This should be the calendar year in which the registration year begins. For example, if the registration relates to the registration year beginning July 2006 this element should contain the value 2006 The version of this schema that the XML file complies with A code which uniquely identifies the Territorial Authority that produced this file. Must contain a value selected from a standard list of TA codes The date and time that the data was extracted from the local system Either INCR or FULL. When set to INCR (Incremental) the file should contain all changes to local data that have occurred since the previous data extract. For each record that has changed in the local system, one record should appear in this file showing the current state of the local record at the time of extract. If the local record has been deleted (rather than having been superseded with a newer record) a record of type DELETE should be included. When set to FULL (used for reconciliations and synchs) the file should contain all current data as defined in the National Dog Database Extract File XML Schema Guidelines The sequence number of the batch. This number should be supplied for incremental batches only and should be incremented sequentially. The National Dog Database will track which batches have been processed for each TA in the past and will only process the next one in sequence The unique identifier assigned to the dog by the territorial authority's local system.
