We use the following schemas for our implementation of EPP reseller management operations:

• epp-1.0.xsd. This is one of the two standard base EPP schemas.
• eppcom-1.0.xsd. This is one of the two standard base EPP schemas.
• nom-reseller-1.0.xsd. This is our custom schema for reseller objects.

You can download this schema bundle in either TGZ or ZIP format.
Note that the nom-reseller schema cannot be mixed with Standard EPP schemas when logging into the system.

We use the following schemas for our implementation of EPP tag list:

• epp-1.0.xsd. This is one of the two standard base EPP schemas.
• eppcom-1.0.xsd. This is one of the two standard base EPP schemas.
• nom-tag-1.0.xsd. This is our custom schema for tag objects.

You can download this schema bundle in either TGZ or ZIP format.
Note that the nom-tag schema cannot be mixed with Standard EPP schemas when logging into the system.
 

Namespace URIs

When logging in to an EPP session, it is necessary to provide a list of the schemas for the objects to be referenced during the session.

The following schemas can be specified for Standard EPP

• urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0
• urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0
• urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:host-1.0

The host schema is imported by the domain schema, so it’s not compulsory to specify it. Otherwise, you can only manipulate objects defined by the schemas specified at login.

In order to use an extension, you must also specify (in an <objURI> element) the relevant base schema.
