Amount (metadata)

In metadata, the representation term amount is used to designate a monetary quantity. Amount is used in ebXML, GJXDM and NIEM standards.

Example in XML

If you were sending information between to parties where the currency was known, you might use the following XML format:

  1234.00

If the currency type was not clear an attribute should also be added:

  1234.00

Note that in most XML transactions, presentation such as leading dollar signs and comma are omitted.
