{{Note | The selection of fields used for Data Entry Forms differs between countries. Mine Action Programs also have the possibility to add its own fields or modify the existing standard ones. This means that {{IMSMANG}} data can be very different between countries. It is therefore necessary to understand a country’s specific set of data collection forms in order to be able to exchange information with that country’s {{IMSMANG}}.}}
==Artifacts ==__NOEDITSECTION__
The Artifact pages reflect the structure and sequence of elements as '''defined and exported''' by {{IMSMANG}}. The form of maXML exported and imported by IMSMA differs slightly from the maXML defined by the generic maXML schema and therefore some exports will not validate to the original schema. Anyone who would like to exchange information with {{IMSMANG}} should follow IMSMA maXML dictionary to construct or read a maXML file correctly formatted for {{IMSMANG}}.
IMSMA imports its main objects in the form of field reports. The different types of field reports are all collected under the parents MineActionFieldReport, FieldReport in maXML. In order to correctly form a field report for import by an IMSMA system one would need to construct a maXML document containing the elements DocumenHeader (not required see below), FieldReportInfo and the desired type of field report, there is also the option to include the element attachment if relevant. The different types of field report are Accident, Hazard, HazardReduction, Location, MREActivity, QAActivity, Victim, and VictimAssistance. Multiple field reports of various types can be included in one file and imported by IMSMA each separate field report should then be contained within its own FieldReport tags.
Some elements are used by several Artifacts such as DocumentHeader, GeospatialInfo etc. and they are specified in the Common pages. The common elements are listed in the artifacts they appear to reflect their location in maXML but with a reference to find their specification in common elements.
An enumeration list may be obtained by contacting your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]]. Choices in {{IMSMANG}} can be customised to fit the needs of specific mine Action programmes. Customised values are added to the IMSMA enumeration list when created. It is therefore recommended to request specific lists of enumeration values from each country.
In addition to the field reports there are eight elements for Auxiliary data. {{IMSMANG}} does not currently import Auxiliary data but it does export it. It will be of interest to read Auxiliary data from {{IMSMANG}} for any system that intends to exchange information with {{IMSMANG}} as there are often many references to Auxiliary data in a field report. Information about organisations, places, country structure and more are referred to in a field report through GUIDs which can only be obtained from an {{IMSMANG}}installation.
