6.3 Adapting the Rating Agencies

During the configuration of the CPL (see section “CPL” on page 3-16

and section “Finalize Settings – CPL” on page 5-9) you can set one or

more rating agencies. Ex factory the software already offers a few rat-

ing agencies. However, these may not be enough for your work. Then

you can add new selectable rating agencies or edit the already available

ones.

The file RatingAgency.xml in the program installation directory of

the DVS software (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\DVS\Clip-

ster) contains the rating agencies that will be displayed in the Edit

Tool. It is a file in XML syntax that can be adapted to your needs: Just

copy, paste and edit the entries and afterwards save the file. The adap-

tations will be displayed in the software when configuring a CPL cre-

ation.

The following shows an example of the file RatingAgency.xml al-

ready adapted to another rating system:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RA>

<AGENCY NAME="http://www.classification.gov.au/

2007-ratings">

</AGENCY>

</RA>

The name of the agency (attribute NAME of the <AGENCY>

tag) should contain a URI that uniquely identifies the agency

which issued the ratings.
