= Mapping XML datatypes in ISO 15926 = The purpose of the workshop is to map core W3C xml data types and witsml datatypes in ISO 15926. The WITSML schemas (available from http://www.witsml.org ) are using core XSD types, routed through one single WITSML schema, the typ_baseType.xsd schema. The typ_baseType.xsd schema defines all abstract base types for WITSML, which are all derived from xml simple data types, directly or through other WITSML abstract types.
