Introduction
The format of data transferred between a regional and central GOCDB instance is documented here. This will be a single XML document containing all objects that have been inserted, updated or deleted. The document will be constrained by a strongly typed XML schema that will also be published here (defining xsd:enums and xsd:patterns to validate element and attribute values).
Example
This example shows a single site being synchronised. This is a new site.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gocdb_data>
<site operation="add">
<primary_key>4839G3</primary_key>
<short_name>RAL-LCG2</short_name>
<description>STFC, e-Science, RAL</description>
<country>UK</country>
<ngi>UKI</ngi>
<timezone>GMT</timezone>
<certification_status>certified</certification_status>
<production_status>production</production_status>
<domain>rl.ac.uk</domain>
<!--
Tags will be defined as nested enum collections and supported values can be propagated to
the central GOCDB (centrally defined xsd:enum values).

<tag>CentralVSiteA</tag>
</tags>
</site>
</gocdb_data>
Example 2
This example shows a service endpoint being updated and a downtime being added. It also shows a user being deleted.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gocdb_data>
<service_endpoint operation="update">
<primary_key>449G3</primary_key>
<hostname>test.host.com</hostname>
<service_type>APEL</service_type>
<ip>10.0.0.1</
<site>RAL-LCG2</site>
<tags>
<tag>EGI.EU</tag>
</tags>
</service_endpoint>
<user operation="delete">
<primary_key>392G3</primary_key>
