This page will contain DETAILED notes about changes in this release of MDDL as compared to the previous edition
BEGINNING WITH THE NEXT RELEASE OF MDDL AFTER 'mddl 2.1-beta'.
The following information should help identify modifications that may affect your current implementation or
understanding of MDDL. However, for release mddl 2.1-beta, the following basic changes have been made:
Filled out list of domains, classes, and subclasses to be more encompassing. The current specification should
include all major asset classes - and specifically those to be completed this year. Each is augemented with the
basic setup information for defining the issue.
Added the "entityDomain" with corresponding "issuerClass" so that detailed information about the issuer can be provided.
In this domain, it is possible to identify an issuer and then make reference to every issue provided by that issuer.
Added the "caeDomain" to lay the foundation for corporate actions and events. This will be filled out as part
of the corporate actions exercise for the August 2003 release.
Added option to download Comma Separated Values (CSV) format of Glossary.
Added "currency" as a child property of "quotation" allowing the provider to indicate the default currency of quotation.
