Operation mapping
=================

Operation mapping document contains the information how each of the forestry operations used in the forced operation data files (:ref:`operation-conversion-xml` or :ref:`forced-operation-xml`) is implemented in the simulation.

An example of the document contents is given below, for a comprehensive description of all the possible content options see the `schema document <http://svn.simo-project.org/simo/trunk/simulator/xml/schemas/operation_mapping.xsd>`_. Data continuation and abbreviated content expressed as …:

The root level tag contains a reference to the schema document which is used to validate the content of the XML document::

   <operation_mapping xmlns="http://www.simo-project.org/simo"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.simo-project.org/simo ../schemas/operation_mapping.xsd">

Here the clearcut operation is implemented with two model chain (:ref:`model-chain-xml`) documents::

   …
      <operation>
         <from>
            <name>clearcut</name>
         </from>
         <to>         
            <model_chain>Forced clearcut</model_chain>
            <model_chain>Update comp_unit after clearcut</model_chain>
         </to>
      </operation>
      …
