Simon, You see - I told you I'm first to do things different - why the heck would you think I'm using something as ghastly as XSD schema to do this?! ; -) >>> "Much of my point in this recent conversation - the piece that really seems to make people angry, in any case - is that creating such standards is a bad idea, and schema a particularly dangerous enabler. As a result, that claim doesn't have much positive effect on me." <<< Completely agree! All that XSD schema does is tell you the millions of possible permutations that you may encounter. Instead the CAM template hones in on the WYSIWYG view of the exchange - complete with content use rules - code lists - SQL lookups - and annotations for content hinting and DBmapping. Plus most important - you can have dynamic content components - essential for versioning - or dealing with nuances from 500 trading partners foibles in their application systems. Structure + Content + Rules + Annotations + Components + Policy in one tidy XML package = CAM template. While we may never get to the Nirvana of complete automation - its a huge jump start. And because we use Dictionaries of XML components in the designer mode - you can assemble and reuse for a domain. So defining your standard around those reusable assets makes much more sense - this is truly what people think intuitively of as they look conceptually at their data exchange needs - Person, Address, Order Item, Customer, Patient, Student, and so on. But we can generate an XSD schema if you still need it for your tooling - e.g. JAXB binding or Form tool designer or JSON tool. All driven with by the power of XSLT and XPath over your XML definitions. I really do not need to reinvent all this rich capability for JSON that does not have it. ; -) David
