Mapping Specification
This document provides a guide to the differences between PBS XML Schema version 2.12 and PBS XML Schema version 3.0.
'Temporal Data' refers to data that changes over time. See the document PBS XML Developers' Guide, Temporal Data for an explanation of the Temporal Data Module in the PBS XML Schema.
Version 3 of the PBS XML Schema has different data structures for temporal data (i.e. history). The new version of the schema allows history to be included in the data, rather than just a snapshot of the Schedule for the current month and differences from the previous month.
Version 2 of the PBS XML Schema includes a "delta" of the Schedule from the previous month in the pbs:changes-list element. This data is separate from the Schedule data. Effectivity information is included in pbs:effectivity elements throughout the schedule data, giving the starting dates for various objects.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, start dates are given in the pbs:effectivity/pbs:start element. Only certain elements contain a start date.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, start dates are given in the effective/date element. All PBS elements contain a start date.
Example 1. Start Date: Version 2
<pbs:effectivity> <pbs:start>2012-08-01</pbs:start> </pbs:effectivity>
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, whenever an element is added to the Schedule (compared to the previous month's Schedule) a pbs:addition element is included in the pbs:changes-list element.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, new elements have their effective date set to the same value as the Schedule's valid date.
Example 3. New Element: Version 2
<pbs:change>
<pbs:addition>
<pbs:any-reference xlink:href="#n1"/>
</pbs:addition>
</pbs:change>
...
<rwt:restriction-reference xlink:href="#n2" xml:id="n1">
<pbs:effectivity>
<pbs:start>2016-01-01</pbs:start>
</pbs:effectivity>
</rwt:restriction-reference>
Example 4. New Element: Version 3
<root>
<info>
<dct:valid>2016-01-01</dct:valid>
</info>
...
<restriction-reference xlink:href="#n2">
<code>58261</code>
<effective>
<date>2016-01-01</date>
</effective>
</restriction-reference>
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, whenever an element is removed from the Schedule (compared to the previous month's Schedule) a pbs:deletion element is included in the pbs:changes-list element that contains an image of the deleted element.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, removed elements are replaced with a moved element and an image of the deleted element is included in the previous-list element.
Example 5. Deleted Element: Version 2
<pbs:deletion xlink:href="#d1">
<pbs:previous>
<rwt:restriction-reference xlink:href="#d2">
<pbs:effectivity>
<pbs:start>2015-12-01</pbs:start>
<pbs:non-effective>2016-01-01</pbs:non-effective>
</pbs:effectivity>
</rwt:restriction-reference>
</pbs:previous>
</pbs:deletion>
Example 6. Deleted Element: Version 3
<previous xml:id="d3" xlink:href="#d4">
<restriction-reference xlink:href="#d2">
<code>57201</code>
<effective>
<date>2015-12-01</date>
</effective>
</restriction-reference>
</previous>
...
<restriction-references-list xml:id="d1">
<moved xlink:href="#d3"
xml:id="d4"
rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/change/removed">
<effective>
<date>2016-01-01</date>
</effective>
</moved>
</restriction-references-list>
In the above example, a reference to a restriction has been removed from a prescribing rule's restriction references list. A moved element is included where the reference was deleted, and the rdf:resource attribute indicates that the element was removed (as opposed to being relocated). The moved element's xlink:href attribute is a hyperlink to the image of the restriction reference in the previous list.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, whenever an element is modified an pbs:alteration element is included in the pbs:changes-list element that contains an image of the previous value of the element.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, modified elements have a previous attribute added that contains a hyperlink to an image of previous value of the element. The previous image is included in the previous-list element.
Example 7. Altered Element: Version 2
<pbs:alteration>
<pbs:any-reference xlink:href="#a247773504"/>
<pbs:previous>
<pbs:amount>9.47</pbs:amount>
</pbs:previous>
</pbs:alteration>
Example 8. Altered Element: Version 3
<previous xml:id="dd5e96" xlink:href="#a247773504"> <amount xml:id="d3e39">9.47</amount> </previous> ... <amount previous="#d3e39" xml:id="a247773504">9.61</amount>
In the above example, an amount has changed from "$9.47" to "$9.61". A moved element is included where the reference was deleted, and the rdf:resource attribute indicates that the element was removed (as opposed to being relocated). The moved element's xlink:href attribute is a hyperlink to the image of the restriction reference in the previous list.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, if it is known ahead of time that a product is to be delisted then an pbs:advance-notice element is included in the pbs:changes-list element. The advance notice references the product to be deleted and gives the date when the product will become non-effective.
Example 9. Advance Notice: Version 2
<pbs:advance-notice>
<pbs:effectivity>
<pbs:start>2016-05-01</pbs:start>
<pbs:non-effective>2016-08-01</pbs:non-effective>
</pbs:effectivity>
<pbs:to-be-deleted xlink:href="#a284003956"/>
</pbs:advance-notice>
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, an advance notice is indicated by including a nested non-effective or supply-only element within the effectivity element for the product listing. It is also possible to nest a non-effective element within a supply-only element.
Example 10. Advance Notice: Version 3
<product-listing>
<effective>
<date>2016-05-01</date>
<supply-only>
<date>2017-08-01</date>
<non-effective>
<date>2018-08-01</date>
</non-effective>
</supply-only>
</effective>
</product-listing>
The example above shows that a product listing became effective on the 1st May 2016. It will become supply-only on the 1st August 2017. After that, it will become non-effective on the 1st August 2018.
Version 3 of the PBS XML Schema simplifies and rationalises the data structures for listing information.
The Schedule of Pharmaceutical Benefits is encoded by the schedule element. There are various values that apply to the schedule as a whole. In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema these were included int he pbs:copayments-list element. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema this element has been renamed to the values-list element.
A "program" is a set of prescribing rules that follow a certain set of business rules. In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, a program is encoded by the pbs:listings-list element. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema a program is encoded by the program element.
Dispensing rules provide data for pricing in different dispensing environments. All prescribing rules in a program use the same set of dispensing rules. Each dispensing rule has three definition parts: , and
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, the benefit type of a prescribing rule is encoded by the rwt:authority-method element, which is contained in a rwt:circumstance element that is associated with a restriction. As a short-cut, the restriction level of the prescribing rule is encoded using the type attribute.
Example 11. Authority Method: Version 2
<pbs:prescribing-rule type="restricted">
<pbs:code>10005N</pbs:code>
<pbs:ready-prepared>
<rwt:restriction-references-list>
<rwt:restriction-reference xlink:href="#a284681745"/>
</rwt:restriction-references-list>
</pbs:ready-prepared>
</pbs:prescribing-rule>
<rwt:restriction xml:id="a284681745">
<pbs:code>4311</pbs:code>
<rwt:circumstance-reference xlink:href="#a284738797"/>
</rwt:restriction>
<rwt:circumstance xml:id="a284738797">
<rwt:authority-method>auth:restricted</rwt:authority-method>
<rwt:requirement-reference xlink:href="#a284930493"/>
<rwt:requirement-reference xlink:href="#a284929794"/>
</rwt:circumstance>
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, the benefit type of a prescribing rule is encoded by the benefit-type element in the prescribing rule itself. The restriction level of the benefit type is given by the rdf:resource attribute.
Example 12. Benefit Type: Version 3
<prescribing-rule>
<benefit-types-list>
<benefit-type rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/benefit-type/restricted">
<member-of-list>
<member-of rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/prescriber/nurse">
<code>nurse</code>
</member-of>
<member-of rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/prescriber/medical">
<code>medical</code>
</member-of>
</member-of-list>
<restriction-references-list>
<restriction-reference xlink:href="#r708971619168919">
<code>4311</code>
</restriction-reference>
</restriction-references-list>
</benefit-type>
</benefit-types-list>
<code rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/code/item">10005N</code>
</prescribing-rule>
See the document PBS XML Developers' Guide, Listing Information for an explanation of benefit types in the PBS XML Schema.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, the maximum quantity for a prescribing rule is given by the pbs:maximum-quantity element. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, this element has been replaced by the maximum-prescribable.
Example 13. Maximum Quantity: Version 2
<pbs:maximum-quantity
unit="mg"
amount="1"
reference="unit-of-measure"
int:determined="yes">
720
</pbs:maxmum-quantity>
Example 14. Maximum Prescribable: Version 3
<maximum-prescribable
rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/reference/unit-of-measure/mg">
<value>720</value>
<mp-reference xlink:href="#a247800960">

</mp-reference>
<determined/>
<effective>
<date>2014-04-01</date>
</effective>
</maximum-prescribable>In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, ATC codes are included in a pbs:classification parent element. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, the parent element has been removed.
Example 15. ATC Code: Version 2
<pbs:classification> <pbs:ATC>atc:L01XE23</pbs:ATC> </pbs:classification>
Example 16. ATC Code: Version 3
<ATC rdf:resource="http://www.whocc.no/ATC#L01XE23"> <code rdf:resource="http://www.whocc.no/ATC#">L01XE23</code> <effective> <date>2013-12-01</date> </effective> </ATC>
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, Manner of Administration (MoA) is represented by a pbs:administration element that contains a pbs:moa-value child element. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, there is no separate element for MoA, instead it is represented by a group.
Example 17. MoA: Version 2
<pbs:administration> <pbs:moa-value>admin:oral</pbs:moa-value> </pbs:administration>
Example 18. MoA: Version 3
<member-of-list>
<member-of rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/manner-of-administration/oral">
<code>oral</code>
<effective>
<date>2013-12-01</date>
</effective>
</member-of>
</member-of-list>
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, information about the Safety Net is represented by a pbs:safety-net element that contains a pbs:days and pbs:counted child elements. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, the content of the safety-net element has changed.
Example 19. Safety Net: Version 2
<pbs:safety-net> <pbs:days>P20D</pbs:days> <pbs:counted/> </pbs:safety-net>
Example 20. Safety Net: Version 3
<safety-net>
<duration>P20D</duration>
</safety-net>
<member-of-list>
<member-of rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/safety-net/early-supply/no-penalty">
<code>Y</code>
<effective>
<date>2013-12-01</date>
</effective>
</member-of>
</member-of-list>
Version 3 of the PBS XML Schema simplifies and rationalises the data structures for various aspects of pricing.
Version 3 of the PBS XML Schema has rationalised markup bands. Markup amounts given in prices are unchanged.
The element that contains the list of markup band definitions has been renamed from pbs:markups-list to markup-bands-list.
In version 2, there are three types of markup bands: fixed (dollar) amount, variable (percentage) and combined (AHI). In version 3 these have been rationalised into a single markup band type with two components: fixed and variable.
Example 21. Markup Bands: Version 2
<pbs:markup-band xml:id="m1"> <pbs:code>A</pbs:code> <pbs:limit>0.01</pbs:limit> <pbs:type>markup:percent</pbs:type> <pbs:amount>0.00</pbs:amount> </pbs:markup-band> <pbs:markup-band xml:id="m2"> <pbs:code>C</pbs:code> <pbs:limit>0.01</pbs:limit> <pbs:type>markup:dollar</pbs:type> <pbs:amount>3.49</pbs:amount> </pbs:markup-band> <pbs:markup-band xml:id="m3"> <pbs:code>C</pbs:code> <pbs:limit>180.00</pbs:limit> <pbs:type>markup:percent</pbs:type> <pbs:amount>3.50</pbs:amount> <ext:markup-type>markup:combined</ext:markup-type> <ext:markup-offset>-180.00</ext:markup-offset> <ext:markup-fixed>3.49</ext:markup-fixed> </pbs:markup-band>
The example above shows three markup bands. "m1" is a variable (percentage) markup band where the percentage value is "0%". "m2" is a fixed (dollar) markup band where the markup is $3.49. "m3" is a combined markup band where the fixed component is $3.50, the variable component is "3.49%" and the offset amount is "$-180.00".
Example 22. Markup Bands: Version 3
<markup-band xml:id="m1">
<code rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/markup/band/none">A</code>
<limit>0.01</limit>
<offset>0.00</offset>
<fixed>0.00</fixed>
<variable>0.00</variable>
<effective>
<date>1990-01-01</date>
</effective>
</markup-band>
<markup-band xml:id="m2">
<code rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/markup/band/community-pharmacy">C</code>
<limit>0.01</limit>
<offset>0.00</offset>
<fixed>3.49</fixed>
<variable>0.00</variable>
<effective>
<date>1990-01-01</date>
</effective>
</markup-band>
<markup-band xml:id="m3">
<code rdf:resource="http://pbs.gov.au/markup/band/community-pharmacy">C</code>
<limit>180.00</limit>
<offset>-180.00</offset>
<fixed>3.49</fixed>
<variable>3.50</variable>
<effective>
<date>1990-01-01</date>
</effective>
</markup-band>
The example above shows the same three markup bands, but in version 3 format. "m1" is a variable (percentage) markup band where the percentage value is "0%". The fixed and offset values are also given as "0". "m2" is a fixed (dollar) markup band where the fixed component is $3.49. The variable component is set to "0%". "m3" is a combined markup band where the fixed component is $3.50, the variable component is "3.49%" and the offset amount is "$-180.00".
Whenever a price includes a markup, the markup element contains the markup in its amount child element and the xlink:href attribute is a hyperlink to the markup band.
Example 24. Markup Amount: Version 3
<markup xlink:href="#m3">
<amount>32.84</amount>
<effective>
<date>2016-01-01</date>
</effective>
</markup>
Version 3 of the PBS XML Schema has renamed the pbs:containers-list element to container-definitions-list.
A "product listing" is the connection between a prescribing rule and a TPP. Version 2 of the PBS XML Schema has different element structures for ready-prepared and infusible product listings. Version 3 of the PBS XML Schema rationalises these different structures into a single element structure. It also denormalises the data for ease of processing.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, a ready-prepared prescribing rule specifies pricing information in the pbs:pricing element. The Commonwealth pricing, lowest and manufacturer prices are all specified separately. Manufacturer prices are given in pbs:prices elements.
Example 25. Pricing, Ready-prepared: Version 2
<pbs:pricing>
<pbs:reimbursement>
<pbs:ex-manufacturer>436.72</pbs:ex-manufacturer>
<pbs:to-pharmacist>
<pbs:price dispensing-rule="dr:RP/s90-cp">
<pbs:amount>469.56</pbs:amount>
<pbs:markup xlink:href="#a247774619">32.84</pbs:markup>
</pbs:price>
<pbs:price dispensing-rule="dr:RP/s94-private">
<pbs:amount>485.20</pbs:amount>
<pbs:markup xlink:href="#a247774643">48.48</pbs:markup>
</pbs:price>
<pbs:price dispensing-rule="dr:RP/s94-public">
<pbs:amount>485.20</pbs:amount>
<pbs:markup xlink:href="#a247774655">48.48</pbs:markup>
</pbs:price>
</pbs:to-pharmacist>

...
</pbs:maximum-safety-net-value>
<pbs:prices>
<pbs:tpp-reference xlink:href="#a247902300"/>
...
</pbs:prices>
The example above shows pricing data in the version 2 PBS XML format. The pbs:reimbursement element gives pricing paid by the Commonwealth. The pbs:lowest element gives the lowest of the manufacturer prices (which may be set by a product with a different pack size). The pbs:prices element (which may be repeated) gives the manufacturer price for a listed TPP, referenced by the pbs:tpp-reference element. There are pricing element for each stage of the pricing formula: pbs:ex-manufacturer, pbs:to-pharmacist, pbs:pack-price and pbs:dpmq. Each of these pricing elements specifies the price in each dispensing rule for the program.

The example above shows pricing data in the version 3 PBS XML format (effectivity elements are not shown for brevity). The product-listing element replaces the pbs:prices element. All pricing data is denormalised: each product-listing element contains all pricing components, even though these may be repeated across different product listings in the same prescribing rule. Thus the reimbursement, lowest, manufacturer, maximum-safety-net-value and maximum-patient-charge are all contained within the product-listing element. The specification of prices for each dispensing rule remains unchanged.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, an infusible prescribing rule specifies pricing information separately for the Commonwealth reimbursement prices and manufacturer prices. Product listings are grouped into pbs:prices and pbs:tpp-list elements.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, infusible prescribing rules list their product listings in the same manner as ready-prepared listings.

The example above shows infusible pricing data in the version 3 PBS XML format. Note that the TPUU is listed, rather than the TPP, and all pricing is for the TPUU. Each product listing contains both the Commonwealth and manufacturer pricing, i.e. the pricing data is denormalised, as for ready-prepared listings.
Version 3 of the PBS XML Schema provides new features for restrictions.
When a prescribing rule is either restricted or authority required it will have one or more restrictions associated with it. At least one of these restrictions must be satisified in order for the prescriber to be able to prescribe the medicine for the patient.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema a restriction may include rwt:circumstance elements, which in turn may contain criteria and parameters. These are combined using implicit logical operations in order to determine whether the restriction as a whole is satisified, as follows:
A restriction is satisifed when at least one of its circumstances is satisifed,
A circumstance is satisified when all of its criteria are satisified,
A criteria is satisifed when at least one of its parameters are satisified.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, the logical relationship between restriction components is made explicit. This is done using the following three elements:
Every child component must be satisified in order for the parent element to be satisfied.
At least one child component must be satisfied in order for the parent element to be satisfied.
One and only one child component must be satisfied in order for the parent element to be satisfied.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, the rwt:restrictions-list element contains all restriction components. A restriction contains circumstances, which in turn contain requirements, which in turn contain parameters.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, both the terminology and structure of restrictions has changed. The rwt:restrictions-list element has been renamed to the prescribing-texts-list element. The "circumstance" level has been removed. "Requirements" have been renamed to "Criteria". Parameters are unchanged.
Certain elements in the version 3 PBS XML Schema have also changed. In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, the rwt:condition element is used in both an indication and as a parameter. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema the parameter has been renamed condition-parameter.
The foreword elements has been added in the version 3 PBS XML Schema to represent a non-legal note that should be displayed before all administrative-advice elements.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, Complex authority Required (CAR) items are indicated by including the element ext:complex-authority-required in a restriction.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, a CAR Item is indicated using an administrative-advice element. The administrative-advice element is associated with the terminology concept http://pbs.gov.au/DHS/authority/complex.
Also in version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, those PBS Items that are legally defined to be "Complex Authority Required" drugs are indicated by their membership in the group http://pbs.gov.au/complex-authority-required/is-complex. PBS Items that are not defined to be legally CAR are members of the group http://pbs.gov.au/complex-authority-required/not-complex.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, increases to the maximum quantity and/or number of repeats are contained in the element rwt:increase which is contained in the rwt:circumstance element. There are separate specifications for the increase that may be obtained electronically, by direct application to the Department of Human Services and for the CPAP program.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, increases are now specified using the increase element. This element is contained directly in a prescribing rule.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, constraints on the prescribing of an item are contained in the element rwt:constraints. This element could contain the rwt:date-required or rwt:text-required elements.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, constraints are now specified as references to PBS Terminology concepts, using the rdf:resource attribute.
The PBS XML uses the Australian Medicines Terminology to describe and codify drug concepts.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, information about medicines is specified in a hierarchy starting with the pbs:mp element.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, information about medicines is specified as a graph. Each element for a drug concept includes the element drug-references-list that contains other drug concepts that are related to the current drug concept.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, details of a medicines unit-of-use is specified both in a pbs:mpuu and pbs:tpuu, as well as with elements prefixed by tpuu- or vial-.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, all details of the unit-of-use of a medicine are only included in the pbs:mpuu or pbs:tpuu element. In addition, other concept-specific element names have been replaced by more generic names, such as content. The context of the element determines what the value is referring to.
Other changes in version 3 of the PBS XML Schema.
In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, there are certain objects that may include a textual description. For example, business rules for a program. These are encoded using DocBook elements. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, the DocBook elements are contained within a block-container element.
Example 29. Text: Version 2
<pbs:program>
<dbk:title>Palliative Care</dbk:title>
<code>PL</code>
<pbs:info>
<dbk:para>More information on this program can be found at http://www.pbs.gov.au/browse/palliative-care</dbk:para>
</pbs:info>
</pbs:program>
Example 30. Text: Version 3
<program>
<info>
<dbk:title>Palliative Care</dbk:title>
<code>PL</code>
<block-container>
<dbk:para>More information on this program can be found at http://www.pbs.gov.au/browse/palliative-care</dbk:para>
</block-container>
</info>
</program>
Similarly to textual descriptions, in version 2 of the PBS XML Schema an organisation's contact information are encoded using DocBook elements. In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, the DocBook elements are contained within a contact element.
Example 31. Contact Details: Version 2
<pbs:organisation>
<pbs:code>AG</pbs:code>
<dbk:title>Allergan Australia Pty Limited</dbk:title>
<pbs:address>
<dbk:street>Level 4, 810 Pacific Highway</dbk:street>

In version 2 of the PBS XML Schema, brand substitution is represented by group membership. Both TPPs and prescribing rules may be members of a brand substitution group. Whether a product may be substituted for another product depends on the TPPs and their listing prescribing rules being members of the same brand substitution group: i.e. the intersection of the group needs to be computed.
In version 3 of the PBS XML Schema, brand substitution is represented at the product listing level. Mmebership of a brand substitution group is given in the product-listing element. If two product-listing elements are in the same brand substitution group, then the two products may be substituted for each other within the context for their respective prescribing rules. NB. every product-listing element is a member of a brand substitution group; if it is the only member of that group then the product listing may not be substituted with any other product.
Each element in the respective schemas are detailed below. A status of "Unchanged" only means that the element name is the same; the context, cardinality and/or content may be changed.
