I found something >>about SOX (Schema for Object-oriented XML) which seems even better than what >>I have read so far (MS web site about IE5b2) about XSchema. What is the >>status of these? XSchema, XML-Data, DCD and SOX are all proposal for XML-based representation of schema information. XSchema was a product of this list and has no W3C status. The other three have been submitted to the W3C as a note. Hopefully all four are being considered in a W3C working group on XML schemas and an unified standard will emerge. XSchema is available at http://purl.oclc.org/NET/xschema. You might want to check http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xml.html#xml-XSchema for more background on XSchema, DCD etc. Currently, the Microsoft IE5 parser supports something in between XML-Data and DCD, but has no support for XSchema (that I know of). I think most people that are using the XML-based schema languages are using them as a higher-level language for schema generation and then converting them down to the universally recognized DTD. Just like a C++ and Delphi parser would result in the univerally understood Intel-byte code :). Myself, I'm using a DCD variant that I have enhanced with documentation elements and am building DTD's and HTMLHelp documentation from a unified source. Until the W3C working group gets further in its progress, I think that translation down to DTD's is required. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
