2. Introduction
2.1. Document Purpose
This Interface Dependency Agreement (IDA) describes the interface provided by the National Data Repository (NDR).
2.2. Intended Audience
This document is intended to be used by:
• Development and test teams of all parties (both within GA and State Bodies) who interact with the NDR via the interface.
2.3. Document Scope
2.3.1. Inclusions • A description of the Logical Interface provided by the NDR;
• A specification of the Physical Interface provided by the NDR;
• Data Validation rules applied by the NDR;
• Description of error scenarios, and best practices to assist in resolving errors.
2.3.2. Exclusions • Any item not explicitly listed as being within scope.
2.4. Guiding Principles
The National Data Repository (NDR) is the master repository for greyhound data that is common between GA and the State Bodies.
The following principles are used to guide decisions concerning what data should be stored in the NDR, how it should be named, and how it should be accessed.
# Principle Business Impact Approved By
Date
1 The NDR will store the minimum of data that needs to be common between GA and the State Bodies.
GA and each State Body will have to maintain their own data repository for specific needs which are not met by the NDR.
2 The NDR will use naming conventions that are meaningful
Bodies will have to use NDR naming when communicating with
`

across jurisdiction boundaries. the NDR, which may require converting from a local naming convention.
3 Every data item stored in the NDR has an Owning Authority.
Only the Owning Authority of a data item is able to modify the data item. (Note: There are some specific exceptions to this rule, which are specified later in the document.)
4 Regardless of Owning Authority, all data stored in the NDR is readable by GA and every State Body.
5 When data is updated in the NDR, the NDR will internally update other linked data to maintain internal consistency.
6 NDR maintains a single record for each Person, which is maintained when the Person moves from one state to another.
2.5. Decision Register
The following table summarises key Business Decisions that impact on the interface provided by the NDR:
# Decision Business Impact Approved By
Date
1 The NDR will support creation of a Litter at the time of Service.
The NDR will support updating of a Litter at the time of Whelping.
The NDR will support updating of a Litter at the time of Registration.
2 The authority which provides notification of Service is the initial Owning Authority of a Litter.
`
Commercial-In-Confidence

# Decision Business Impact Approved By
Date
Owning Authority of a Litter passes to the authority which provides notification of Whelping (where this is different from the authority which provided notification of Service).
3 Earbrand is the primary business identifier for a Dog.
If another identifier, e.g. microchip, becomes the primary identifier in future, this will necessitate modification to the NDR and its interface.
4 Where multiple Sires are involved in creating a Litter, separate Litter records are created in the NDR for each Sire.
The following considerations apply to State Body Systems (e.g. those that are part of OzChase) that internally maintain a Service / Litter record with multiple Sires:
• When transferring data from the State Body System to the NDR, the State Body System Litter record needs to be split into separate NDR Litter records for each Sire. Given that the association between pups and Sires is only established at the time of Litter Registration, this implies that multiple Sire Litters cannot be notified to the NDR prior to Litter Registration.
• When receiving data from the NDR, the State Body System may choose to merge individual NDR Litter records into a single multiple Sire Litter record. Any NDR Litter records that have the same Dam, the same Service Date, but a different Sire, can be merged into a single multiple Sire Litter record.
5 The NDR will maintain Late Name as part of the Dog Entity.
The NDR will record when a name is re-used.
GA is responsible for Dog naming, including maintaining Late Name, and managing re-use of names.
This information may be required by State Bodies in publishing Form Guides.
6 The NDR will maintain a maximum of two microchips per dog.
This caters for the situation where a greyhound is re-chipped, when it is not possible to locate the original microchip. Both microchips may end up still being

readable and are therefore valid.
7 The NDR will maintain a “stud sire” flag on a Dog.
Required by GA.
8 The NDR will maintain a history of the previous owners and the previous trainers of a Dog.
9 As part of Race results, the NDR will maintain the Name, Owner and Trainer of a Dog that was current at the time of the race.
This information is needed for the Stud Book.
10 Within Race results, “Position in Running (PIR)” is a free text field.
There is no guarantee that State Bodies will use this field in a consistent or compatible manner.
Rejected. See point 21
11 It is the responsibility of a State Body to determine whether a Person already exists in the NDR prior to creating a new Person Entity in the NDR.
State Bodies will need to adopt appropriate matching procedures (e.g. using full name, date of birth, etc) to determine whether an individual is already present in the NDR.
12 The NDR needs to be able to maintain an “Authority to Breed” on a Dam (with respect to Frozen Semen Service).
“Authority to Breed” is maintained by the State Bodies, but needs to be available in the GA portal.
13 The NDR needs to be able to maintain an “Authority to Bred” / “Stud Master” on a Sire.
14 Dogs will be automatically created in the NDR when a Litter is registered.
State Bodies never need to create a Dog in the NDR.
GA will still need to create Dogs in the NDR, when Dogs are imported from overseas.
15a A Penalty on a Person can only be cleared by the authority that applied the penalty.
There may be more than one Penalty on a person at the same time – especially if more than authority apply a different penalty type.
15b A Penalty on a Dog can be cleared by any authority.
Clearance will depend on the
This enables a Satisfactory trial to be performed in a state other than the one that applied the original penalty.

Penalty type and trial track requirements.
16 The NDR will not provide a means of moving a Group from one authority to another.
Note: this item is still under consideration, and may change if Business Rules can be defined describing the expected behaviour.
If a Group (e.g. a Syndicate) moves interstate, and wishes to be recognised in the NDR in the new state, they need to create a new registration for the Group in their new state.
Rejected. See point 20
17 As part of Race results, the NDR will record the time of each Dog.
18 Any authority may update the following details of a Dog:
• Microchip number(s)
• Certificate number
• Lifestate (e.g. racing / retired / deceased)
These attributes will usually be updated in the state where the greyhound is racing.
19 The NDR will only store persons who are registered as Owners or Trainers.
Other categories of Person will need to be maintained in the State Body Systems.
20 The NDR will allow a Group to move from one authority to another.
A group will change authority when the residential address of the manager of the group changes state. E.g. SA to QLD.
21 Within Race results, “Position in Running (PIR)” is a string field made up of numeric vales.
PIR can be recorded in a consistent form, regardless of how states record other race comments such as speed and checks.
22 Within Race results, “Comments” is a free text field.
There is no guarantee that State Bodies will use this field in a consistent or compatible manner.
23 Historical prize money other won by a dog will not be migrated (where available) from the old NDR to the new NDR.
Prize money other (breeder bonus, trophy) in the existing NDR is incomplete and would provide an incorrect prize money total.
24 Parameters for Data Migration from the old NDR to the new NDR are as follows:

• Dog – Whelped on or after 01 January 2000
• Litter – Whelped on or after 01 January 2000
• Person/Group – Has an expiry date greater than now or the person/group is linked to any of the Dog/Litter records described above
• Meeting/Results – Meetings held on or after 01 January 2005
• Penalties – all created since 01/01/2009.
25 Margin for the first dog is the margin the dog beat the 2nd dog by (or 3rd dog for a dead heat). Margin is in dog length(s).
Provides richer race result information for the winning dog
26 Remove defined margin distances Actual margin distance can be recorded without the need for rounding the margin, thus increasing the accuracy of the margin.
27 The clearing of a penalty where a dog has performed a satisfactory trial in a state different to the state that imposed the penalty
Any state can update or clear a dog penalty even if they didn’t impose the penalty – as long as the clearance requirements are met.
20/02/2103
28 For the sake of dog Pedigree in the NDR, change the NDR schema to allow “UnknownInternationalPerson” to be stored against an Internationally-bred dog as an Owner.
As dog Owner is mandatory, this allows the parents of imported dogs to be recorded in the NDR for the sake of Pedigree – without having to know the owners details.
This means the UnknownInternationalParty will not be displayed as part of previous Owner History of a DOG.
27/03/2013
29 To soft delete incorrect entities created in NDR, change the NDR schema by adding in “entityStatus” to indicate if an entity is deleted.
Only owning authority of the entity can perform this action.

3. Business Overview
3.1. Business Context
The National Data Repository (NDR) is the master repository for greyhound data that is common between GA and the State Bodies.
The NDR also acts as a mechanism for GA and the State Bodies to publish data changes to other parties. Whenever GA or a State Body update locally held data, they may also choose to push any relevant changes to the NDR. The NDR, in turn, publishes any such changes as events, which can then be picked up by other interested parties.
Figure 1 - Context Diagram

3.3. Business Operations
3.3.1. Operations The interface supports the following high-level operations on each Entity:
Operation Description
Create • Create a new instance of the Entity.
Update • Modify an existing instance of the Entity.
Identify • Perform a search against some specified search criteria.
Get • Get the details of an instance of the Entity.
Publish • NDR publishes details of an updated instance.
Note: It is not possible to Delete an Entity via the interface. If an Entity is no longer current, this is indicated by performing an Update either on a status field, or on a date field. For example, when a Dog dies, the Dog Entity remains in the data store, but the status is updated to “Deceased”.

3.3.2. Sequence of Operations to Update and Publish Data This section describes the sequence of operations involved, when a party makes use of the interface to Update data, then the NDR Publishes the updated data to other interested parties.
The scenario is written in terms of an update that is entered by GA, and which is then published to the State Body Systems via the NDR. The reverse scenario, where the update originates in one of the State Body Systems, may also occur.
Figure 2 – Update and Publish Data via NDR. Operations shown in blue correspond to NDR operations listed in Section 3.3.1.
The sequence of steps shown in Figure 2 is as follows:
Step Description
1 • A GA users logs into the GA system, and loads data for a specific Entity (e.g. a Dog) into their web browser.
2 • The GA user updates the Entity, and Submits.
3 • The update is written to the GA data store.
`
Commercial-In-Confidence
NDR - Interface Dependency Agreement – v1.5.2 – 10 April 2013 Page 22 of 113
Step Description
4 • The GA system initiates an Update operation on the NDR.
5 • The update is written to the NDR data store.
6 • NDR Publishes an event, indicating that an update has occurred.
7 • The State Body System polls the NDR to pick up the latest Events.
• Polling is performed by performing a Get operation on all Events.
8 • The State Body System determines that it is interested in the Event.
• The State Body System performs a Get operation on the updated Entity.
9 • The updated data is written to the State Body System data store.
• GA, NDR and the State Body System are now synchronised.
Note that the sequence of events shown here is not intended to be prescriptive; clients are not required to perform the listed operations in precisely the manner listed above.

4. Logical Interface
4.1. Logical Data Model
The Logical Data Model defines, and specifies the relationship between:
• The Dog Entity;
• The Litter Entity;
• The Meeting Entity;
• The Person Entity;
• The Group Entity;
• Events.
Note that Events are not Entities in their own right; the presence of an Event simply reflects a change to one of the previously mentioned Entities: Dog, Litter, Meeting, Person or Group.
Most of the attributes specified in the Figure 3 - Figure 7 are considered to be self explanatory; however for completeness, a description of each attribute is provided in Section 11.

4.1.1. Dog Entity
Figure 3 - Dog Entity. See footnote 1 for an explanation of the types and numbering used in this diagram.
The Dog Entity, shown in Figure 3, defines the attributes of a Dog.
A Dog is identified in the NDR by its earbrand.
The NDR stores a dog’s identifying information, as well as its current Owner, Trainer and Authority to Breed (if applicable).
The NDR maintains a history of:
• Ownership;
• Trainer;
• Penalties;
• Races where the Dog has been a participant.
1 The types referred to in this, and later, diagrams are described in Section 1. The numbers in this, and later, diagrams are used to indicate which elements in the model are mandatory. A [1] indicates that an element is mandatory; [0..1] indicates an element is optional. [0..*] indicates an element is optional, but if present, there may be many such elements.
`
Commercial-In-Confidence
NDR - Interface Dependency Agreement – v1.5.2 – 10 April 2013 Page 25 of 113
Other data maintained in the Dog Entity include a link to the Litter it was part of, and its “lifestate”.
4.1.2. Litter Entity
Figure 4 - Litter Entity
The Litter Entity, shown in Figure 4, defines the attributes of a Litter.
A Litter is identified in the NDR by a combination of dam earbrand, sire earbrand, and service date.
The Dam, Sire and service date are known at the time of Service. The Whelping Date and Litter Dogs (if any), are known after Whelping has occurred. The earbrand and microchip no of each Litter Dog is known once Litter registration has occurred.
Note that only one Sire is associated with each Litter. Where multiple Sires were involved in creating a Litter, separate Litter records will be maintained for each Sire.
In order to maintain internal consistency between Litter and Dog entities, the NDR will automatically create Dog entities in the NDR when a Litter is registered. The NDR will create a Dog Entity for every dog in the Litter, using the following attributes:
Attributes used to create Dog Entity Value
authority The authority who registers the Litter.
earbrand Taken from the Litter attributes

lifestate Set to ”unnamed”.
stud sire flag Set to “false”.
This implies that a State authority should never need to create Dog entities directly in the NDR. The NDR will automatically create a Dog Entity for each registered pup.

4.1.3. Meeting Entity
Figure 5 - Meeting Entity
The Meeting Entity, shown in Figure 5, defines the attributes of a Meeting.
A Meeting is identified in the NDR by its Track Code, Date and Time Slot.
A Meeting consists of a number of Races. Each Race has some static data, such as Title, Grade and Distance, which can be entered prior to the day of the race. The list of “Dogs in Race” is known once the field is graded. “Result” and “Dog Race Result” are known after the race has concluded.
Note:
• The “track code” field of Meeting is set when the Meeting Entity is created in the NDR. The “track held” field of Meeting is used to record the code of the track where the meeting was actually held. “track held” will only differ from “track code” when there was a last minute change in the location of the meeting.
• the “name”, “owner name” and “trainer name” fields of Dogs in Race are used to preserve the snapshot of information that was current at the time of the race.
In order to maintain the internal consistency of the NDR, when updating the results of a Meeting, the NDR will automatically update the corresponding Races information maintained within the linked Dog Entity. Note that this update will occur even if the Owning Authority of the Meeting is not the Owning Authority of the Dog.

4.1.4. Person Entity and Group Entity
Figure 6 – Person Entity and Group Entity
The Person Entity and the Group Entity, both shown in Figure 6, define the attributes of a Person and a Group, and the relationship between them.
A Person or Group is identified in the NDR by their State (authority) and a state issued ID (state person id / state group id).
A Person may be registered as a Trainer or Owner, and these are maintained separately within Registrations. A Group may be a Syndicate or a Partnership. Each Group consists of number of Members, one of whom is given the role of Manager.
Note that both Person and Group have an identifier assigned by their local authority (shown in Figure 6 as “state person id” and “state group id”). Such identifiers are not guaranteed to be globally unique, so a Person or Group must always be identified by a combination of authority and identifier.
When a Person moves state, they are obliged (within a short period) to register with the authority in their new state. The authority in their new state will update their details in the NDR. This scenario is described in more detail in Section 6.1.1.
When a Person moves interstate the authority of the state the person is moving to must move all the Groups that person is a Group Manager of – in order to allocate new IDs.
As Person and Group are separate Entities within the NDR, they may be updated separately, which could in certain cases lead to inconsistencies. In order to maintain internal consistency, the NDR will perform the following actions:
# Action initiated by a State Body System Action Performed by NDR to Maintain Consistency
1 State Body System updates the Groups field of The Members field of the corresponding Groups

2 State Body System updates the Members field of a Group.

4.1.5. Events
Figure 7 – Events
Figure 7 define the attributes of an Event File and an Event Entry. (Note that Events are not Entities in their own right; the presence of an Event simply reflects a change to one of the previously mentioned Entities: Dog, Litter, Meeting, Person or Group.)
An Event File is identified in the NDR by its date, and has a timestamp showing the time of last update. Time will be UTC time (TBC).
Each Event Entry includes both the Owning Authority (of the created or updated Entity), and the authority which requested the modification of the data. The Owning Authority will be different from the Previous Owning Authority in cases where the event resulted in a change of Owning Authority.
In addition, each Entry has:
• The type of event;
• The name of the Entity to which the event occurred, e.g. the name of the Dog;
• A link to the underlying Entity.

4.2. Data Ownership
4.2.1. Owning Authority The following Business Rules arise from the principle that all data stored in the NDR has an Owning Authority.
# Business Rule Business Impact
1 Ownership is defined at the Entity level.
2 Each Entity has an Attribute named “authority” which stores its Owning Authority.
3 When an Authority requests creation of an Entity, they become the Owning Authority of the Entity created within NDR.
4 For the following Entities, the Owning Authority never changes after creation:
• Dog
• Meeting
For international dogs, the owning authority is GA.
5 The Owning Authority can change for a Litter Entity when Whelping has occurred.
The authority that lodges the notification of Whelping will become the Owning Authority of the Litter Entity.
6 The Owning Authority can change for a Person Entity, when that Person physically moves and registers with a new authority.
The authority which wishes to claim ownership will need to make a request to the NDR via the interface.
4.2.2. Ability to Modify Data Held by the NDR The following Business Rules govern the ability to modify data held by the NDR:
# Business Rule Business Impact
1 Except as stated under rules 3 to 8 below:
The Owning Authority can modify any aspect of an Entity.
2 Except as stated under rules 3 to 8 below:
Any authority which is not the Owning Authority cannot modify any aspect of an Entity.
`

# Business Rule Business Impact
3 GA is the only authority permitted to modify the following fields of the Dog Entity:
• Naming (including Late Name and name re-use)
• DNA no
• Stud Sire flag
4 Any authority can add a new record to the following fields of any Dog Entity:
• Penalty
5 Any authority can update the following fields of any Dog Entity:
• Lifestate
• Microchip no(s)
• Certificate no
• Owner
• Trainer
• Penalty
• Authority to breed
6 Any authority can notify the NDR that Whelping has occurred.
The authority that lodges the notification of Whelping will become the Owning Authority of the Litter Entity.
7 Any authority can add a new record to the following fields of any Person Entity:
• Penalty
8 Only the authority that originally applied a Penalty to a Person Entity can update or clear that Penalty.
9 If a Penalty is incorrectly applied to a Person or Dog, the owning authority will be required to re-load the Person or Dog to remove incorrect the Penalty.
Owning authority of the Dog or Person will be required to perform the refresh as a support function.
10 Only the owning authority can update the entity status.

4.3. Logical Events
The following table describes the Logical Events (i.e. occurrences that cause a change in the state of the NDR) and the resulting action:
Event Description Resulting Action
Entity Created
• The NDR receives a request to create a new Entity.
• The new Entity is created within the NDR.
• An Event is Published notifying other parties of the new Entity.
Entity Update
• The NDR receives a request to update an existing Entity.
• The Entity is updated within the NDR.
• An Event is Published notifying other parties of the update.

5. Physical Interface
5.1. Web Services
The following points apply to the tables included in Sections 5.1.1-5.1.6.
• The “Permitted Authority” column lists the authorities who are permitted to make the request. If any authority makes a request they are not permitted to make, they will receive an “Unauthorised” error (see Section 5.7 for a full list of error responses).
• The “Input” column refers to various Entities and Components; these are defined via the schemas included in Sections 5.5.1 and 5.5.2.
• Where available, a specific transaction should be used to update data rather than a general update. For example the Update(lifestate) transaction should be used to update the lifestate for a dog, rather than the Update transaction for a dog.

5.2. Encryption
Each HTTP request is encrypted via SSL.
5.3. Authentication
Each authority will be issued with a unique key <apikey> which must be included with each HTTP request.
Two methods are supported for doing this:
# Method Details Example
1 Query String
The key can be appended to the HTTP request as follows:
<HTTP method> <URL>?authority=<apikey>
Where
• <HTTP method> is either “GET” or “POST”
• <URL> is as shown in the “URL” column of the tables included in Section 5.1
• <apikey> is the unique API key.
GET /dog/abc123?authority=562AFA
Host: ndr.galtd.org.au
…
2 HTTP Header
The key can also be included in the HTTP header, on a distinct line of the form:
“Authority: <apikey>”
Where
• <apikey> is the unique API key.
GET /dog/abc123
Host: ndr.galtd.org.au
Authority: 562AFA
…
The means of distributing the key is yet to be determined. Each authority is responsible for maintaining the security of the issued key. The key will be changed on request.

5.4. Change Detection
The HTTP Entity Tag (ETag) is used to identify a particular version of an Entity within the NDR and is designed to prevent the overwriting of entities.
In addition, a version of the entity can be accessed using the GET method using an integer to represent the version. For example, the following URI for a GET operation will return version 1 of the Person 300037 entity:
http://machineURI/person/NSW/300037/1
As can be seen below, the response header contains both an ETag value and entity version 1:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private, no-store Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Expires: Wed, 31 Dec 1969 13:00:00 GMT ETag: "0x8CF5F5F26695B60" Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 X-AspNetMvc-Version: 3.0 EntityVersion: 1 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:41:51 GMT Content-Length: 1306 ...
The standard usage of ETags in relation to GET and POST methods is as follows:

Method Request If the NDR holds a later version of the Entity than the client making the request …
If NDR does not hold a later version of the Entity than the client making the request …
GET Header includes a line of the form:
“If-None-Matches: <ETag>”
where <ETag> corresponds to the version of the Entity held by the client.
NDR returns the requested Entity.
The header of the response includes a line of the form:
“ETag: <ETag>”
where <ETag> corresponds to the requested Entity.
NDR returns a response with Status Code “304 Not Modified”.
The body of the response is empty.
POST Header includes a line of the form:
“If-Match: <ETag>”
where <ETag> corresponds to the version of the Entity held by the client.
NDR does not accept the update.
NDR returns an error response with Status Code “412 Precondition Failed”.
NDR accepts the update.
The header of the response includes a line of the form:
“ETag: <ETag>”
where <ETag> corresponds to the updated Entity.
Further detail, including more details of the request and the response, is laid out in Section 10.

6. End to End Scenarios
This section describes some key end to end scenarios which make use of the NDR interface.
6.1. Success Scenarios
6.1.1. End to End Process for Assigning / Updating a Dog Name The following diagram and table defines the sequence of events involved in assigning or updating the name of a greyhound.
Figure 8 – Sequence of Events in Naming a Greyhound. The steps highlighted in blue impact the NDR.

1 An individual lodges a naming application through their State Body.
(none) This process by which this occurs may vary from state to state.
2 The State Body validates the request.
(none) This process by which this occurs may vary from state to state.
3 The State Body lodges the naming application with GA via the Naming Application interface.
(none) The Naming Application interface is supported by the GA Web Portal, rather than by the NDR. It is not defined in the current document.

4 GA applies business rules to determine which, if any of the requested names are assigned to the greyhound.
(none) GA may, at its discretion, assign a name other than one of the requested names.
5 If a name is assigned, the new name is pushed from GA into the NDR.
Dog – Update (Name)
6 The State Body receives updates from the NDR.
Get (Events)
6.1.2. Registered Person Moves Interstate The following table summarises the changes to the NDR when a registered person moves interstate:
Timing Business Event Data Known Call to NDR Comments
Person moves interstate
(none) (none) (none) Person remains registered with their old State Body.
Within 3 months Person registers with new State Body, and is assigned a new state person id.
Old state body
Old state person id
New state body
New state person id
The new state body posts a Person - Update call to the old URL (i.e. the URL defined by the old state body / old state person id).
The response from the NDR contains the URL of their new registration (i.e. the new state body / new state person id).
The NDR will from this point on automatically redirect requests to the old URL to the new URL.
* People moving between states that use the OzChase system will retain their OzChase ID. However the owning authority will change to the new state.

6.1.3. Expected Updates of the Litter Record The following table summarises the expected updates to the NDR at Service, Whelping and Registration of a Litter:
Timing Business Event Data Known Call to NDR Comments
Service Service Dam
Sire
Service Date
Litter – Create
Whelping Whelping As for Service, plus:
Whelping Date
Pups, for each:
• Colour
• Sex
Litter – Update
Whelping + 12 weeks (typically)
Registration As for Whelping, plus:
• Earbrand
• Microchip No
Litter - Update The NDR will automatically create Dog entities for each Dog in the litter at this point.
6.1.4. Importation of an International dog GA records the importation of international dogs into Australia and therefore is the owning
authority of the dog.
As the Owner of a dog is a mandatory field in the NDR, an international dog must be recorded in
the NDR with:
1. an Owner who is a registered participant with a racing authority of Australasia. Eg. RWWA, GRV, NZ
or
2. set to Dog Owner Name to UnknownInternationalParty
ie. This will display “UNKNOWNINTERNATIONALPERSON” (for the Owner or Breeder of an International
dog and Litter) in the NDR. This enables the pedigree of international dogs, created by GA, to be
created in the NDR (where the Owner of a dog and the Breeder of a litter is mandatory).
As the whelped date or the pedigree of the Sire and Dam of an imported dog is not always
known, the Sire and Dam’s whelped dates may be optionally entered.
`
Commercial-In-Confidence
NDR - Interface Dependency Agreement – v1.5.2 –10 April 2013 Page 65 of 113
This is a GA only exception to the rule in the NDR that requires DOG.whelped date and
LITTER.service_date to be mandatory values.
Ie. If the DOG.owning_authority = ‘GA’,
DOG.whelped_date is optional.
LITTER is optional
DOG.Owner may be set to UnknownInternationalParty (displayed as “Unknown
International Person” in the NDR)
LITTER.Breeder may be set to UnknownInternationalParty (displayed as “Unknown
International Person” in the NDR).
Note: An UnknownInternationalParty will not be displayed as part of previous Owner History for a
DOG.
Step Description Call to NDR Comment
1 Dog details are entered in GA - Dog is created in GA
2 If Sire and Dam of dog are not known in the NDR, they are created in GA.
Owning authority of dog = ‘GA’.
Create dog (Sire)
Create dog (Dam)
Sire and Dam Whelped date may not be known so can be left blank (if owning authority of a dog = “GA”).
3 Dog’s litter details are entered (if known).
Create Litter Litter is created using Sire and Dam.
4 Person is created Create Person Person must be a registered participant.
(OR set DOG.Owner
UnknownInternationalParty to true
“UNKNOWNINTERNATIONALPERSON” will. be displayed for Internationally-bred dog Owners in the NDR. )
5 Person is assigned as dog’s Owner in GA.
Create Dog Dog is created in NDR with Owner assigned OR Owner UnknownInternationalParty is set to true. “UNKNOWNINTERNATIONALPERSON” (for Internationally-bred dog Owners.) is displayed in the NDR.

6.1.5. Deletion of a dog Any owning authority is able to delete dog(or any other entity) via “entityStatuss” operation.
It is a soft delete, meaning that the dog is still physically exist in NDR and it only marked as delete within the “entityStatus” element.
Once the entity is marked as “deleted” the NDR should prevent any other transactions to update the “deleted” entity. However, NDR is not stopping any other entities from referencing the “deleted” entity.
Following table shows the steps to delete a dog from NDR
Step Description Call to NDR Comment
1 Dog is created by owning authority
Create dog
2 Dog is identified as a invalid via state body
-
3 Owning authority delete the dog in local system

4 Owning authority delete the dog in NDR
entityStatus(Dog) Dog updated in ndr with “entityStatus” =“delete”
5 Other state body will be notified
Get(Event) “DogUpdateEntityStatus“ in the atom feed will indicate the change of the entity status
6.2. Failure Scenarios
This section describes some key high-level failure scenarios, and provides guidance on best practice on the client side to avoid the scenario.
In each of these cases, the “local system” is any consumer of the GA interface; e.g. could be the GA Web Portal, or it could be a State Body System.
Scenario Description What NDR Will Do … Best Practice on Client Side …
Local System Unable to Push Update to NDR
• The local system has applied an update to its local data store.
• The local system tries to push change to NDR, but fails
• Nothing; the NDR is not aware of the attempted update.
• Retry, e.g. overnight.
• If the retry also fails, log a notification according to a suitable (local)

mechanism – e.g. write to an error log.
• Once connectivity is restored, the local system will have to re-POST the update (possibly with manual intervention by local system admin).
Local System Attempts to Push and Update to NDR Without Sufficient Privileges
• The local system has write privileges to certain fields, but tries to update other fields.
• NDR responds with “invalid” request, as per Section 5.7.2.
• Local system should ensure such data is “read only”, so the local operator does not inadvertently edit such data.
• If multiple POST transactions are available (e.g. to Dog Entity) then the local system should use the most appropriate POST – e.g use Update (owner) rather than Update on the entire Dog Entity.
Client Attempts an Update Based on Stale Data
• The local system attempts to update the NDR based on stale data (i.e. without having first picked up previous changes).
• NDR responds with “invalid” request, as per Section 5.7.2.
• Local system should perform a GET just prior to allowing a user to modify data.
• Note that this will minimise the chance of collision; however collision is still possible.
Update Missed by Local System
• Local system was down when update was published.
• Nothing; the NDR is not aware this has occurred.
• Local system should regularly poll the NDR to ensure if picks up all changes.
• Local system should perform a GET just

7. Backwards Compatibility
This section describes the backwards compatibility supported by the NDR. The NDR will be populated with data received from the existing CSV files as defined in the “Technical Specification Document – National Data Repository Revision 03” document dated 17th November 2008.
7.1. Operation
The NDR will provide “one way” backwards compatibility. This means the NDR will be populated with data received from the existing CSV files supplied by state bodies. To receive data from the NDR, state bodies will need to ensure their systems support the reading of published events from the NDR as defined in this document.
7.2. Existing NDR files
The following is a list of the current files that will be supported by the NDR (all files are to be supplied in CSV format)
1. RF – Race Fields 2. RR – Race Results 3. DD – Dog Details 4. PR – Person Registration 5. LD – Litter Details
To ensure the correct operation of the NDR, the following sections outline the critical pieces of data that must be supplied for each of the existing file types. The items listed in the next section are already supplied according to the current NDR specification, therefore the next section is a reminder of how the data is to be supplied.
The only additional piece of data is in the PR – Person Registration file and the GM (Group member) record. In this record the state (code) must be supplied (currently optional). The state code will identify the group member as not being from the state sending the PR file and will therefore take the NrdId in the GM record to link the group to the group member in the NDR.
7.2.1. RF – Race Fields To support backwards compatibility for this file, the following must be observed:
3. TrainerState must be supplied 4. StateTrainerID must be supplied where the trainer is from the state uploading the RF file 5. NdrId(Trainer) must be supplied where the trainer is NOT from the state uploading the RF
file. This needs to be the full NDR entity ID e.g. person/WA/12345 All other existing rules for the RF file will apply.
`
Commercial-In-Confidence
NDR - Interface Dependency Agreement – v1.5.2 –10 April 2013 Page 70 of 113
7.2.2. RR – Race Results Existing rules for the RR file will apply.
7.2.3. DD – Dog Details To support backwards compatibility for this file, the following must be observed:
1. DS Record – Existing rules for the DS record will apply 2. DT Record
a. StateTrainerID must be supplied where the trainer is from the state uploading the DD file
b. NdrID (trainer) must be supplied where the trainer is NOT from the state uploading the DD file. This needs to be the full NDR entity ID e.g. person/WA/12345
c. All other existing rules for the DT record will apply 3. DO Record
a. NdrID (owner) must be supplied. This needs to be the full NDR entity ID e.g. person/WA/12345 or group/WA/3214 for dogs owned by a group
b. All other existing rules for the DO record will apply 4. DP Record – Existing rules for the DP record will apply
7.2.4. PR – Person Registrations To support backwards compatibility for this file, the following must be observed:
1. PI – Person Individual a. State must be supplied b. PersonID must be supplied where the state is the same as the state uploading
the PR file c. NdrId must be supplied where the state is NOT the same as the state uploading
the PR file. This needs to be the full NDR entity ID e.g. person/WA/12345 d. All other existing rules for the PI record will apply
2. PG – Person Group a. State must be supplied b. PersonID must be supplied where the state is the same as the state uploading
the PR file c. All other existing rules for the PG record will apply
3. GM Group Member a. State must be supplied b. PersonID must be supplied where the state is the same as the state uploading
the PR file c. NdrId must be supplied where the state is NOT the same as the state uploading
the PR file. This needs to be the full NDR entity ID e.g. person/WA/12345 d. All other existing rules for the GM record will apply
7.2.5. LD – Litter Detail To support backwards compatibility for this file, the following must be observed:
`
Commercial-In-Confidence
NDR - Interface Dependency Agreement – v1.5.2 –10 April 2013 Page 71 of 113
1. BreederNDRID must be supplied. This needs to be the full NDR entity ID e.g. person/WA/12345 or group/WA/3214 for breeders that are a group
2. All other existing rules for the LD file will apply
7.2.6. Person and Dog Penalty 1. Limited backward compatibility exists for Penalties - when the NDR goes live and not all states are
using the new NDR. ie. those states that are still sending data to PICK, any unknown or incomplete values should be set to “LegacyUnknown”.
7.3. Legacy Unknown Data
In the process of migrating data from the old NDR to the new NDR, valid values for some data could not be determined or was missing. To ensure significant amounts of data was not lost in transferring data from the old NDR to the new NDR of value of “LegacyUnknown” was supplied to enable partially complete data to be migrated to the new NDR. For example, for a race result where a box number for a dog was missing, the value of “LegacyUnknown” was loaded into the new NDR as the box number.
Local systems will need to determine how to handle data received from the NDR with values of “LegacyUnknown”. Local systems will not be permitted to update the NDR with a “LegacyUnknown” value. Where a local system has received data with the NDR with a value of “LegacyUnknown” and the local system has the authority to update the entity, then it is expected the local system will replace the “Legacy Unknown” value with the correct value.

** Note: UB - Suggest to proceed with Yes & No for now.
RWWA will propose a rule amendment for 2014 to ensure the trial requirements for the UB penalty are specified in the rules. It appears the UB penalty may have been added via R71(A), without R72 being updated to include the exclusion of a venue-specific trial for this new penalty type.
R71(A) quotes a ‘conditional satisfactory trail’. If Stewards wish to make it venue-specific, they can always use a UP penalty instead, which is venue-specific.
