scope:

The purpose of this document is to define XML structures and schema for individual log records and sequences of those records in D-Cinema applications. While not all log records require authentication, this specification provides for optional authentication of records and sequences of records, using digital signatures. Authentication requirements are established by separate application specifications. This document does not define a communications protocol, but is limited to specifying the structure and format of log records and their content. This document does not define a format that devices must use internally, but it does define a format that is to be used when log records are interchanged with other devices.
