Announcing a new release of the XML Content Checking Tool |
|
|
|
The Content Checker assists in the application of XML Schema specifications to real business transactions. Many content standards are emerging today based on XML Schema. These specifications define semantics and structure for data to be exchanged between systems. However, in the interest of creating reusable standards, the specifications often do not capture the full range of semantics which will be needed in individual transactions. An extensively sophisticated schema specification would be too complex a specification for implementers to effectively use in a wide range of transactions. A simplistic schema specification, on the other hand, is too loose and allows for imprecise data exchanges. The Content Checker seeks to complement XML schemas by providing a facility to precisely specify, share, extend, and test for conformance data being exchanged based on semantics not captured in an XML schema. The Content Checker is one of several tools provided by NIST for developing XML schemas for the purpose of data exchange and systems integration. For a list of other tools available, CLICK HERE. In conjunction with this release you will also see a new version of our popular Quality of Design tool (QOD). |
