--------------------
Update May 7, 2018: Due to a request of an ECLASS member, the ECLASS association decided to publish the Release 6.0.x (as well as the Release 5.1.4) subsequently also in XML format, for the languages German and English. The XML format was originally introduced to Release 7.0.

Content ECLASS 6.0.x BASIC (XML):
- Dictionaries: include 27 XML files, hence for each segment one XML file that contains the complete content of the relevant segment (Classes, Keywords, Properties, Values and relations) (complete)
- Templates: Folder without content
Templates were originally introduced with ECLASS Release 7.0. However, in order to enable a trouble-free import into eCatCreator, for example, the established structure of the XML-zip-file is not changed.
Further note: Since Release 10.0.1 the Template folder has been delivered without content. The reason for this is the future handling with templates to deliver and publish only "default" templates with substantial content. This may change for future Releases.
Templates contain a Data Requirement Statement for the data exchange, in which can be defined e.g. sequences or optional and mandatory fields between the data transmitter and the receiver. You can find more information in our Technical Support under Templates. - ECLASS units ("UnitsML" in XML format)
- README file
In the following, you will find the structure of the XML files. The placeholder "xy" stands for the different language codes.
