Containing Schema: system-characteristics-schema.xsd
Documentation:
The possible attributes for an element in the data section of an item. The optional datatype determines the type of data expected. (the default datatype is 'string') The datatype attribute is optional in order to keep the XML clean and readable. The default value is used most of the time and putting datatype="string" for each element would muddy up the XML. The optional status attribute holds information regarding the success of the data collection. For example, if there was an error collecting a particular piece of data, then the status would be 'error'.
