These files are xml documents that are each paired with a simple type schema file and contain the enumeration values from that schema and associated code, description, effective date and obsolete date. Some contain additional values that may be useful when using a SimpleType schema. These files are intended to be more programatically useful than the simple type schema files for applications that are performing functions such as providing options to users that match the values in the simple types.
Some simple type schemas contain values that are specific to only one court or a subset of courts. For these simple type schemas the associated companion file contain an an additional value (type=
CourtJurisdictionORI) that provides the ORI for the court that the value applies to. This value can be used to restrict the choices to only those that apply to the court that is either the source or destination of a message. Some examples of simple types that contain this attribute are: CourtCalendarNameTextType, CommunityOfOffenseTextType, HearingLocationTextType and HearingSessionTypeTextType.
