About the Standardization Packages

After you create a custom data type or variant you need to package the files in a ZIP file so they are available for import into NetBeans. Create a single package for each data type or variant.

For a custom data type, the ZIP file includes the following:

• A service type definition file

• One or more service instance definition files (depending on how many variants you include)

• One or more process definition file (standardizer.xml)

• Normalization files (optional)

• Lexicon files (optional)

For a custom variant, the ZIP file includes the following:

• One service instance definition file

• One process definition file (standardizer.xml)

• Normalization files (optional)

• Lexicon files (optional)
