<h2>Background<a class="headerlink" href="#background" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The PDS4 Information Model, PDS4 Data Dictionary, and their XML representation in the PDS4 Common Schema and Schematron serve as a library of generic definitions for each PDS4 product type. PDS also maintains data dictionaries for specialized disciplines such as geometry and cartography and for specific planetary missions; these are called Local Data Dictionaries or LDDs. They are also expressed as XML schemas for use in PDS labels. The PDS4 Schema and all current Local Data Dictionary schemas are available at <a class="reference external" href="https://pds.nasa.gov/datastandards/schema/released/">https://pds.nasa.gov/datastandards/schema/released/</a>.</p>
<p>When a schema is used in a PDS4 label it is associated with a namespace. A namespace is a
context for the terms defined in the schema. The common PDS4 schema has the namespace pds,
and it is the default namespace in a PDS4 label. Other namespaces correspond to Local Data
Dictionaries such as cart for the <a class="reference external" href="https://pds.nasa.gov/datastandards/dictionaries/#cart">Cartography Dictionary</a>, disp for the <a class="reference external" href="https://pds.nasa.gov/datastandards/dictionaries/#disp">Display Dictionary</a>, and mvn
for the <a class="reference external" href="https://pds.nasa.gov/datastandards/dictionaries/#mvn">MAVEN Mission Dictionary</a> If classes or attributes from other namespaces are used in the label, the terms are prefixed with that namespace, as in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cart:map_projection_name</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">disp:vertical_display_direction</span></code>. Only namespaces that are registered in the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/NASA-PDS/pds4-information-model/blob/master/docs/namespace-registry/pds-namespace-registry.xlsx">Namespace Registry</a> may be used in PDS4 labels. To request a new namespace, <a class="reference external" href="https://pds-data-dictionaries.github.io/development/ldd-create.html#requesting-a-new-namespace-id">see instructions here</a>.</p>
<p>When you prepare data for delivery to PDS, you will certainly be involved in creating labels; you may also be involved in creating discipline- or mission-specific LDDs. This section will focus on the components of labels, design choices you will need to make, and tools you can use. Basic information about XML and XML schemas can be found in Appendix C, specific instructions for editing PDS XML labels are in Appendix D, and a discussion about creating Local Data Dictionaries is available on the Small Bodies Node PDS4 Wiki (<a class="reference external" href="https://sbnwiki.astro.umd.edu">https://sbnwiki.astro.umd.edu</a>).</p>
<p>For more details, see the <a class="reference external" href="https://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/datastandards/documents/dph/current/">PDS4 Data Provider’s Handbook (DPH)</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/datastandards/documents/sr/current/">PDS4 Standards Reference (SR)</a>, and of the other <a class="reference external" href="https://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/datastandards/documents/">PDS4 Standards Documentation</a>.</p>

<h2>LDD Generation and Validation<a class="headerlink" href="#ldd-generation-and-validation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Each LDD Github repo generated from the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pds-data-dictionaries/ldd-template">ldd-template repo</a> will contain <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/features/actions">Github Actions</a> to do the following:</p>
<div class="section" id="generating-schemas-and-schematrons">
<h3>Generating schemas and schematrons<a class="headerlink" href="#generating-schemas-and-schematrons" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The github action will download and run the latest <a class="reference external" href="https://nasa-pds.github.io/pds4-information-model/model-lddtool/">LDDTool</a> and generate the schemas and schematrons from your Ingest LDD using the expected LDDTool flags.</p>
<p><strong>What does this mean?</strong></p>
<p>The schemas and schematrons in your repository should always be generated using the latest LDDTool and using the configuration that an operational release would expect. It really helps ensure all LDDs are generated the same way and include the same set of files.</p>
<p>Additionally,*you should <strong>NOT</strong> generate and push schemas or schematrons to your repository manually*. To minimize inconsistencies across LDDs, all schemas and schematrons posted on Github should be auto-generated by Github, or generated and pushed by <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/orgs/pds-data-dictionaries/teams/en-operations-team">EN Operations staff</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What does this NOT mean?</strong></p>
<p>This does not mean you shouldn’t <a class="reference external" href="https://nasa-pds.github.io/pds4-information-model/model-lddtool/">download LDDTool</a> and test locally. Github Actions are great, but can be kind of slow generating the schemas, so I would recommend running LDDTool locally to test before pushing an update to Github per the <a class="reference internal" href="development/ldd-update.html"><span class="doc">LDD Update Process</span></a>.</p>

<h3>LDD Validation<a class="headerlink" href="#ldd-validation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The github action also downloads <a class="reference external" href="https://nasa-pds.github.io/validate/">Validate Tool</a>, performs basic validation of your schemas and schematrons, and performs regression testing against any tests in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">test/</span></code> directory of your repo. See :doc:<a class="reference internal" href="development/ldd-test.html"><span class="doc">LDD Regression Testing</span></a> for more info on how to populate the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">test</span></code> directory.</p>
