How to format dependencies in the manifest?

[christian-wolf-eks]

Hello,

I am looking into a detail of the manifest and I am not sure if I missed a point.

In the Model Structure the attribute dependencies is described for e.g. Output elements. In Table 24 some description about this attribute is given:

Optional attribute defining the algebraic dependencies as list of value references of the unknown vunknown directly with respect to vknown. For a real valued unknown and a real valued known, if the known is not listed among the dependencies then the partial derivative of the unknown with respect to that known is identically zero. If dependencies is not present, it must be assumed that the unknown depends on all knowns. If dependencies is present as empty list, the unknown depends on none of the knowns. Otherwise the unknown depends on the knowns defined by the given value references.

So, this is to be a list of value references that the output (described by the value reference valueReference of the element) depends on. Now, what is a list? Is is comma separated? Whitespace separated? Anything?

As I said, I am unsure if this was defined somewhere else but if that was the case I missed it. In the implementer's guide, there is an example that indicates whitespace. However, I do not see this defined in the standard.
Unfortunately, I do not find a clear definition i

The dependencies are defined in the corresponding xml schema file an xml list, see

fmi-standard/schema/fmi3VariableDependency.xsd

Line 45 in ced3281

<xs:list itemType="xs:unsignedInt"/>

According to https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#atomic-vs-list
"For ·list· datatypes the ·lexical space· is composed of space-separated ·literals· of the ·item type·."
