From: Henry S. Thompson <ht@c...> >On behalf of the XML Schema Working Group we are pleased to announce >the release of new Public Working Drafts for XML Schema: Structures [1] >and XML Schema: Datatypes [2]. I have made a Schematron that validates XML Schemas. The beta is available under http://www.ascc.net/xml/resource/schematron/schematron.html Note that this just validates XML Schemas, it does not use XML schemas to validate other documents. The XML Schemas language has a lot of structural constraints that a grammar-based system cannot check: for example there are many instances where the value of an attribute restricts the content model, or to check that the top-level element of an included schema (i.e., an external file) has the correct element type. (The fact that Schematron can handle these better than XML Schemas is no big deal: it does show that XML Schemas is targeted at databases and Java data rather than being particularly optimised for validating W3C specifications. ) To use it, you will need James Clark's XT and a Schematron implementation: I suggest schematron-report from the same site, which gives a nice display of messages linked to the context element where the error is in effect. A few provisos: namespaces not supported and some sub-subtyping errors will not be caught. Rick Jelliffe xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
