Digital cinema (D-cinema) operations — Part 4: Log record format specification

ISO 26430-4:2009 defines XML structures and schema for individual log records and sequences of those records in digital 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. ISO 26430-4:2009 does not define a communications protocol, but is limited to specifying the structure and format of log records and their content. ISO 26430-4:2009 does not define a format for devices to use internally; it defines a format to be used when log records are interchanged with other devices.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

Introduction

Many devices in D-Cinema exhibition environments must generate log records, which can record all manner
of events in the normal and exceptional operation of systems. In order to achieve interoperability, it is
desirable that log records are presented in a common basic format.

1 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.

2 Conformance Notation

Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable or contains the
conformance language keywords: "shall", "should", or "may". Informative text is text that is potentially helpful
to the user, but not indispensable, and can be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting
interoperability. Informative text does not contain any conformance keywords.

All text in this document is, by default, normative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as
"Informative" or individual paragraphs that start with "Note:”

The keywords "shall" and "shall not" indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the
document and from which no deviation is permitted.

The keywords, "should" and "should not" indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as
particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but
not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated
but not prohibited.

The keywords "may" and "need not" indicate courses of action permissible within the limits of the document.

The keyword “reserved” indicates a provision that is not defined at this time, shall not be used, and may be
defined in the future. The keyword “forbidden” indicates “reserved” and in addition indicates that the provision
will never be defined in the future.

A conformant implementation according to this document is one that includes all mandatory provisions
("shall") and, if implemented, all recommended provisions ("should") as described. A conformant
implementation need not implement optional provisions ("may") and need not implement them as described.

3 Normative References

4 Overview (Informative)

The Log Record Format standardizes the reporting format for information that documents the usage and
behavior of a Digital Cinema system. This format is intended to be used for communicating log event
information at such points in the system where interoperability or a common format is a requirement. This
format may be used to construct records that are unidirectional in nature, meaning that a bi-directional
communications channel is not required in order to interpret the record content. However, additional
efficiencies and features such as dynamic text internationalization can be achieved in a bi-directional
communications environment.

In order to provide for maximum flexibility while maintaining interoperability, the Log Record format is
designed to support a number of features which may be optional or required depending on any requirements
which may be imposed by an application specification which uses this format. This format supports both
authenticated and non-authenticated log records for security and non-security logging purposes, respectively.
The format also supports record "sequences", or Log Reports, to reduce authentication overhead, and
provides for "filtering" of authenticated record sequences in cases where it may be desirable to excise
information contained in Log Reports while preserving a record of that information's existence.

In order to accomplish these objectives, the Log Record structure is broken down into three major sub-parts:
Header, Body, and Signature, the first of which is required in a Log Record, and the second and third of which
are optional. In addition, a number of fields in these sub-parts are optional for Log Records which are not
required to support authentication, but available and may be required where authentication is a requirement.
In Log Reports, some Body sections may be removed by filtering, so the Header is the only required part of a
Log Record in a Log Report.

The Log Record Header contains enough information to identify the source, time, and classification of the log
record. It may also include hashes to support data integrity and authentication. Conceptually, the Log Record
Header contains just enough information to support automated classification and sorting of log events, without
revealing information that may be considered sensitive or non-public.

The Log Record Body contains either the detail of the logged information in human-readable form, or index
information to enable the translation of the log detail into human readable form, or both. This includes all
available information about the logged event, except that which is conveyed in the Log Header. The Log
Record Body is not encrypted, but may be authenticated through a hash of its contents, which is contained in
the corresponding Log Record Header, which may be signed by a Log Signature. The (optional) Log
Signature provides authentication of the header(s) of the current Log Record, or optionally authentication over
a number of log records in a sequence.

This document does not specify the internal format for log records kept within a device. Rather, this document
specifies the format for producing authenticated log records, if a device is required to do so.

5 Definitions

5.1  Definition of Terms

 Log Event – Any state or change of state in a system that is desirable to record in a log. Such an
event results in the recording of log data.
 Log Data – Log Event information that is recorded and stored in a Log Record.
 Log Record – Standardized XML structure representing a discrete logged event.
 Log Report – Standardized XML structure containing one or more log records.

5.2  Namespace Prefixes
The following table lists the namespace prefixes used in the XSDL and XML examples in this document.
Please refer to the normative references in this document and in [DCMLTypes] for specific references to the
namespaces referred to in this table. Note that the prefixes themselves are not normative, and that instance
documents may assign alternative prefixes in practice.


    Prefix
      Namespace Reference
    xs      XMLSchema
    ds      Xmldsig
    xsi      XMLSchema-Instance
    dcml      DcmlTypes
    lr      LogRecord [This Document]


5.3  Log Record Namespace

The types defined in this document shall be included in an XML namespace, whose Namespace Name (URI)
shall be:

    http://www.smpte-ra.org/schemas/430-4/2008/LogRecord/

When published, the version number of the XML Schema representation of the namespace shall be set to
"1.0", where "1" is the major part of the version number, and "0" is the minor part. If the namespace is
subsequently revised to add new types not defined in this standard, but not to modify any of the existing types
in a way that breaks reverse compatibility, the minor part of the version number shall be incremented by one.
If the namespace is subsequently modified with result of changing any of the types defined in this document
in a way that breaks reverse compatibility, the major part of the version number shall be incremented by one.
The version number shall be specified by the version attribute the xs:schema element of the XML schema
that this namespace represents.

6 Component Data Type

This section describes component data types, which shall be used in the construction of a Log Record. See
[XML-SCH-2] and [DCMLTypes] for the definitions of the underlying XML data types.

6.1  Record Text Extension Type

The RecordTextExtension type is meant to contain human readable text and optionally positional parameter
replacement codes. The purpose of this data type is to provide for human readable interpretations of record
content, in multiple languages where appropriate.

Requesting a set of these description items for a particular language can be done at any time that log records
need to be consolidated or interpreted. An XML element based on this type must include one and only one
recordTextID element, but may contain more than one recordDescriptionText element in order to express the
content in more than one language.

6.1.1  Record Text Extension Fields

The RecordTextExtension Type shall consist of the following elements.

6.1.1.1  Record Text ID

The RecordTextID element shall be a UUID that represents the conceptual information expressed in the
RecordDescriptionText field, regardless of the language used to express it.

6.1.1.2  Record Description Text

The RecordDescriptionText element shall be a block of UTF-8 encoded text that describes the meaning of the
record in human readable form. The record text may include positional replacement markers in place of which
values from the Parameters List of the record may be substituted.

6.1.2  Schema Representation

Expressed in XSDL, the RecordTextExtension Type shall be defined as follows:


 
   
    minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
 


6.2  Event Token Types

In the header and body sections of Log Records, XML "tokens" are used to represent the values of the record
fields. The following XML type extends the XML "token" type to include optional scope attributes in order to
specify the allowable values for those fields.

6.2.1  Event Type Type

The Event Type Type shall be used to specify types and subtypes of Log Events in Log records. This Type
shall be defined in XSDL as follows:

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 26430-4:2009(E)
SMPTE 430-4-2008

 
   
    
   
 


Note that the "scope" attribute is required but not specified, and no default scope is provided. For each
application specification that uses this Log Record Format Specification, that specification document must
specify one or more scope URIs for this type, and specify the list of allowed tokens defined by that scope.

6.3  Reference ID Types

In the body section of Log Records, it is frequently necessary to identify an entity both by name and by a
UUID. The following Types define the framework to be used in expressing these name/value pairs.

6.3.1  Reference ID Type

The Reference ID Type defines a name/value pair which is scoped to indicate the range of possible names for
the identifiers. This Type shall be defined in XSDL as follows:



 
 



Reference ID scopes and scope URIs may be defined by other documents as needed, but the specific
definitions are outside the scope of this document, as they as are application-specific.

6.3.2  Referenced ID List Type

In the body section of a Log Record, elements of type Reference ID shall be grouped in a list. The list Type
shall be defined in XSDL as follows:



  minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

7 Log Record Type Descriptions

A Log Record shall always consist of at least a Log Record Header and a Log Record Body. A Log Record
may also contain a Log Signature. This section defines the XML Types that represent Log Record Headers,
Bodies, and Signatures.

7.1  Log Record Header Type

This type provides a structural format for the fields, content types and references for a Log Record Header.
The Log Event Header shall include the fields described below except where they are optional for the
application. Fields marked Optional may be required by other constraints documents for certain applications.

7.1.1  Event ID

The EventID element is a UUID that identifies a specific Log Record. Since Log Record Headers may be
processed independently from Log Record Bodies, an identical copy of this UUID shall appear in the Log
Record Body to associate the header and body if they become separated. If unique identification of a logged
event is required, the contents of the EventID element shall be used for that purpose.

7.1.2  Time Stamp

The Time Stamp element shall indicate the time and date that the event was detected. The Time Stamp shall
be represented as an XML "dateTime" type. The Timezone section of the dateTime item shall be present, and
shall be the local time zone of the location at which the reporting equipment is installed. [Note: This requires
that relative time stamps must be converted to absolute local time at or before the time that the formatted Log
Record is generated.]

7.1.3  Event Sequence (optional)

When a Log Report is generated by a device, the device shall set the EventSequence element to a value of
its choice for the first Log Record in the sequence, and shall increment the EventSequence value by one for
each subsequent record in the sequence. EventSequence numbers shall not be interpreted as uniquely
identifying an event, but shall only designate the sequence number of the event in the current sequence, if the
record is part of a sequence.

Note: The EventSequence values, used in concert with the chained header hashes, can be used to check that the
sequence of Log Headers in a Log Report is complete.

7.1.4  Device Source ID

The Device Source ID shall be an element of type device Identifier List Type (defined in [DCMLTypes]) that
identifies the device that generated the event that the Log Record represents. This list shall contain at least
one device identifier that identifies the source of the Log Event as recorded in the instant Log Record.

7.1.5  Event Class

The EventClass element shall contain a URI identifying the class of the logged event. The EventClass is
intended to express the general classification of the Log Event represented by the Log Record, and to identify
the scope or namespace defining the Event Types and SubTypes in that class. This class may be used to
facilitate searching and sorting on groups or sequences of Log Records. A particular event may be defined
within more than one class, and the same event may be reported under more than one class if required by the
application. The EventClass shall be represented in XML using the xs:anyURI type. .The definition of specific
Event Classes is outside the scope of this document. Examples of possible classes are listed in the following
table.

ISO 26430-4:2009(E)
SMPTE 430-4-2008
Example Event Classes (Informative)
     Class       Class Description
     Security       Event records related to security
     Operational       Operational events
     Health       Status or change of status of system health items
     Maintenance       Maintenance events
     Debug       Debugging event records


7.1.6  Event Type

Within an Event Class, this field indicates the type of event that is logged. The event type shall be
represented by an Event Type Type. The scope attribute is required, and must be specified by another
document that defines Log Records for a particular Class.

Where Event Types are standardized or are published in separate documents, the scope attribute URI of the
Event Type shall be defined and shall indicate the allowable values of this field for that class of events.

Informative Note: This document does not specify any EventType scopes. Not all Classes of Events will have all of the
possible event types published - for example, Debug Class events will likely be vendor-specific. However, it is required
that Event Types for all other classes will be standardized in one or more separate documents. The following table gives
examples of possible EventType tokens that might be defined for an Event Class in a separate document.


Example Event Type Tokens (Informative)

       power      a power event
       timeline      a timeline event
