Hi, I'm researching XML vocabulary modeling methodologies am looking for opinions on such. It seems that many projects model their entities and messages in UML, then create DTD and XML Schemas from the model. FpML, RIXML, SwiftML, ISO 15022, etc. follow this pattern. From UML models, so the story goes, you can also easily create classes in Java or C++. And these translations from model to code can be automated or facilitated by tools. But most of these projects started before W3C XML Schemas were a full recommendation. In the XML world of today, I can easily find tools that can display an XSD in a graphical, object-oriented form, convert an XSD to a DTD and bind it to Java classes. And I can find them for less than many UML products. How valuable is UML for this process now? Are the translation tools better than what's available for XML (pointers to such tools would be appreciated)? Or can XML Schema serve effectively as the "model"? Thanks in advance, - Mike
