*    The persistent-identity is the only attribute that is required in the import file. Often the identity, persistent-identity and number are the same, but there are use cases where these have different values.

Info

PersistentID

The persistentID has to be unique per type of information and no duplicates may exist. E.g. there may only be one part with the same persistentID.

If persistentID is not unique the import engine will get confused and unexpected results may occur.

Specifications

You can add an arbitrary number of additional attributes to most data types in the Signifikant information model. During import, you provide their values by using the Specifications tag which takes key/value pairs (called type and value).

Each text may be defined by a persistent id which can be referred from all other exports. Each text contains all translations for that text with language defined using ISO 639-1 alternatively ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166.

A text with language "" is considered being invariant, the same for all languages.
