XML Schema to Business Object Model Import Mappings
During the import process XML Schema data types (defined at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/) are mapped to the existing primitive Business Object Model data types with appropriate restrictions. In many cases there is no direct mapping and consequently the closest match is made.
| XSD data type | Mapping to Business Object Model primitive type |
|---|---|

The following pattern is used to ensure valid formatting: \-\-\-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])(|Z|[+-](0[0-9]|[1][0-3]):(0[0-9]|[12345][0-9])) |
