Market - Arcrole Relationships#
Arcrole relationships establish "relationships" or linkages in the XML data file that may be visually obvious on the URAR Report. In the XML data specific instances of data points or containers must be connected to properly represent the information.
- Containers or datapoints to be linked are identified using "xlink:label."
- The RELATIONSHIP container holds the xlink:arcrole, xlink:from, and xlink:to attributes that describe the data relationships.
DATA_SOURCE to MARKET_TREND#
Price Trend Data Source. When the data source is associated with a subject property, provide the relationship that joins to the applicable instance of MARKET_TREND where the ValuationUseType = "SubjectProperty". Provide each data source used for the development of the price trend analysis in a separate instance of DATA_SOURCE.
