 I have been asked what tools can extract a part of a schema. The overall schema is large, complex, and imports five or six other schemas into several target namespaces. The individual involved wants to create a smaller subset that contains everything that one project needs, for the purposes of instruction and training. The problem is how to get all the necessary pieces so that nothing is left out that is required for the schema to work. XML Spy can be helpful with its graphics, but there is no link from the graphics view to the text view, so it is hard to find the pictured piece of the XML for copying. You can do some degree of copying and pasting the graphics view blocks between schemas, but of course you have to keep track yourself of the bits you have already transferred. Also it is hard to be sure you have gotten everything you need. Does anyone know of such a tool? If not, any suggestions based on actual experience in doing this kind of task? It seems to me that finding all the dependencies within the schema and its imports would be the hardest part. Cheers, Tom P
