SLA XML Schemas

All schema definitions are provided in 3 common formats: Relax NG, XML Schema and Document Type Definition. For Relax NG the compact syntax was chosen since it is much more readable. The Relax NG schema also contains comments for every element. To the extend possible these comments have been preserved while translating the schema into the other two formats.

SLACAL_BATCH

The schema definition for a batch is available in its entirety (SLACAL_BATCH) as well as broken down into the following components:

• BATCH is the single main part and includes data related to the batch coverletter as well as a list of one or more ITEMs.
• ITEM includes the data from an insurance policy or an endorsement. Most of the information would typically be shown on the declaration page. ITEM may include SL1 and SL2 forms.
• SL1 is the Confidential Report of Surplus Line Placement and all fields in the schema have an exact correspondance to the paper SL1 form. If applicable a GAP form may be attached to the SL1 form.
• SL2 is the Diligent Search Report and all fields in the schema have an exact correspondance to the paper SL2 form.
• GAP is the Gap Exemption Form and just like SL1 and SL2 all fields in schema have an exact correspondance to the paper GAP form.

Please note that only complete batches should be uploaded to the SLA. Do not upload individual XML forms.

REST

The REST webservices UploadImage and UploadXML expect an XML request document to be posted and will return an XML response document. The schemas for these request and response documents are listed in the table below.

There is no separate schema for the UploadXML request REST service. The request document in that case is the SLACAL_BATCH XML data.
