FW: ANN: XML Schema Compilation Project on SourceForge

["Arnold, Curt" <Cu...@hyprotech.com>]

If the link listed doesn't work, go to http://www.sourceforge.com.  Project may still be in the recent projects list at right of page or you can search for XML.

Eventual homepage will be http://XSDComp.sourceforge.net, but is currently still at its default state.

I should have the preprocessor and first pass in the CVS this afternoon which can be browsed from the project site.

> You are invited to join a project to an open-source XSLT-based compiler for XML Schema.
> 
> The XML Schema "compiler" project intends to provide a reference
> implementations (and potentially other) of schema processing to produce:
> 
> a) analysis of errors in the source schema.
> b) a compiled form of the schema that contains the expansion of inclusions,
> imports, complexType derivations, etc, in a form that closely related to the
> information set necessary for a parser to validate a conforming document.
> The compiled form should help reduce the potential for hacking by attacking
> resources used in the schema definition.
> c) transliteration (as much as possible) of XML schema constraints to other
> validation mechanisms such as Schematron or RELAX.
> d) generation of documentation for schemas.
> e) provide a forum to discuss schema related issues.
> f) provide feedback to the W3C XML Schema working group.
> g) assist the development of schema-aware (and/or compiled schema-aware)
> parsers.

> The project is hosted at SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=4826 (project XSDComp)
> 
> The mailing list should be active in a few hours and I'll be posting the first files to the CVS system this afternoon.   Please visit the public forums to introduce yourself (in the developer) forum
> or to see an overview in the Open Discussion forum.

> p.s. There were some missing attributes (such as a name on attribute) in the HTMLHelp for Schema that I published yesterday.  It was done by a quick XSLT transform that converted the schema for
> schema back into the May 99 working draft that my inhouse schema doc tool still uses.  I'll probably redo it in a week or so based on the work here.
