Title: RE: W3C XML Schema Test Collection Concur. Once I worked with XML Spy and
Topologi, did the clean up based on the
the
original sources, created the validation types based on facets, particularly
regexes, the use of another layer consisting of
Schematron assertions was
obvious. At this point, many programmers would
probably go to the
business rules in their own code, but somehow it makes
sense to me to
expose
as much of this as possible it the schema given its inherent transportability,
ease
of application, and ease of integration when the purpose is to
share
very large data descriptions and data sets as modularly as possible.
Coarse
transactions and loose coupling don't come for free or cohere
without opening up more of these rules as part of the
initial set of shared
artifacts.
I have
great hopes for the ISO project that Rick et al are working on. Until then,
we
don't have much choice but to push forward with XML Schema.
