I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Are you implying that multiple root elements can occur in the same file or do you mean that files ending in .xml could have any (single) root element defined by IPXACT and you would not know what type of document you are dealing with before having parsed it?

Hello Bernd,

I uploaded my first simple implementation of a IP-XACT DOM for Python.
https://github.com/Paebbels/pyIPXACT?ts=2

According to the standard, it's a bit more complex to describe PoC. A name tag in an ipxactFile tag references another IP-XACT file, which contains a catalog description. This catalog can then contain one or more component descriptions.

Kind regards
Patrick

I agree, ultimately we want the URI in ipxactFile.name to point to the IPXACT component file. Please note that we need to complete path in this field, i.e. either a relative path from the catalog or a complete URL.

Thanks, Bernd
