AIRS XML Data Transfer Record Format Version 3.0 (DRAFT 5) unless set, the default minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" element of tSite One type of Address to cover all locations.

Agencies provide services directly or they may have “child” agencies that offer these services. Services are offered at sites that belong to an agency. Services are represented by the combination of taxonomy codes offered at a location; this idea is called a SiteService. To recap: Agencies don’t provide services directly, they provide them through sites This is an optional unique number representing a vendor's internal way of tracking an agency. This can be used as meta data to uniquely describe an Agency Agency Definition: Parent/Child relationships are handled through recursion. Agency elements within another agency (the parent) are child agencies, that is they belong to a parent agency: e.g. Transportation Security Administration(TSA) is a child of Homeland Security. Therefore TSA and all associated Sites can be created inside the Homeland Security Agency element This is a unique string indicating the organization that created and maintains this Agency record element of tSiteService Information about any age or gender related requirements or inclusions for a particular service at a particular location element of tAgency and tSite These are alternate names for an object, Confidential indicates that the alternate name won't be shared with the public element of tServiceGroup and tSiteService ApplicationProcess describes the steps taken to apply for or access the service or services; also known as the ‘intake process’.For example, “Call for an appointment” or “Walk in only” element of tAgency, tResourceInfo and tSite 1) Contact is the person at an Agency, or Site who will interface with the public or who has responsibility for the entity, like a site manager or director. 2) Contact is also used by ResourceInfo to indicate the person within each agency who has overall responsibility for updating the information about the agency, its sites and its services, etc. This is the type of contact, for example an Administrator or Owner element of tTimeOpen This can be used for any day of the week element of tSiteService A document that is required in order to access services offered at a SiteService element of tAgency, tContact, and tSite Email Address: restricted by regular expression, see www.regexlib.com element of tSiteService This is the geographic area served by the SiteService. This can be anything from a single neighborhood to an entire country. Types can also be mixed; perhaps one city and 6 nearby ZIP codes. In this case the required element would be City and there would be additional ZIP codes. A national 1-800 hotline would have one Country element At least one of the following must be selected. Then any number of additional elements can be included element of tSite and tSiteService Language spoken and the TimeOpen the language is available element of tAgency If applicable, information about the license/accreditation held by the agency and the body that licensed/accredited it element of tSite This is something without a physical presence; Description is what the entity is/does, and Explanation is why is doesn't have a physical presence element of tAgency, tContact, tSite and tSiteService Phone numbers Use this if the phone can not be shared due to security concerns, such as a spousal abuse group home.

However not all vendors implement this. This will provide a key that can be added to SiteService.ServiceGroupKey so that multiple SiteServices can belong to the same ServiceGroup This number is used by a SiteService to know what ServiceGroup it is part of (if any). This must be unique between all child agencies required name and used internally. May be the same as the programName optional, publicly visible name. e.g. Headstart element of tAgency Sites are physical locations or none physical locations (a website or hotline). Site is used by Agency to provide the location of agency Agency.AgencySite (Note this type of Site would never have any SiteService children). Sites are also the location where services are provides. This would be the Agency.Site element (Note this type of Site would have SiteService children This an optional unique number representing a vendor's internal way of tracking a Site. The can be used as meta data to describe a Site uniquely element of tSite SiteService is the smallest unit describing a "service" that is offered at a Site. It can be thought of as the intersection of a Site and a Taxonomy code (or related Taxonomy codes) and meta data about what is offered. A "Service" however is not represented as its own element because the "Service" cannot exist without a location (the site). This an optional unique number representing a vendor's internal way of tracking a SiteService. The can be used as meta data to describe a SiteService uniquely Requirements include any Exclusions, so both negative and positive requirements i.e. must have/ can't have are all requirements Can this service be offered outside of the physical location? true/false optional value linking this SiteService to a ServiceGroup (Program) element of tSite Spatial location is information about the physical location where a site is in the world A datum also defines the association of latitude and longitude coordinates to points on the surface of the earth, there is more than one way to do this element of tSiteService Taxonomy Codes are a structured system created by AIRS/INFO Line to index human services No checking is done at the XSD, verify validity of codes before export! element of tLanguages, tSite and tSiteService TimeOpen refers to the times a service is open or available element of tAgency and tSite URL (Web Address): restricted by regular expression, see www.regexlib.com No checking is done at the XSD, verify validity of url before export! also allows for ftp now Root Element- contains all other elements This is a description of the sources of data used in the data dump. If multiples sources of data are used, include them here, additionally any RecordOwner codes used should be listed here as well
