Title: RE: Primary and Foreign Keys and Blueberries Whoa,
NELlie! The W3C can break that horse.
I'm
just exploring the wrinkles of reverse engineering an XML Schema from
a
relational db model where one wants the result to be implementation
independent (insofar as that is doable). So one has to find all of
the
shortcuts taken by the original data designer and find out if they
make
the cut. Otherwise, as soon as one goes to share the schema,
one is
facing the room full of other designers whose data also is full of
shortcuts and both sides are claiming necessity as the Mother of
invention. I also need to meet the head-on claims of the grey
beards that
"XML
Schema doesn't do anything, so don't bother; XML Schema is
just
another presentation; don't bother" and be able to show them
what
it does and how that is a better deal than CSV negotiations.
