SatClear XML schema

As part of SatClear, Network Operators will be able to submit a batch of terminals for processing. Batch processing may be either registrations, amendments to existing terminals or de-registrations. A separate file will be needed for each process. The file must be in XML format and must conform to an agreed XML schema.
