The objective of the Schematron Editor tool is to provide a Java-based GUI tool for business analysts to easily create, view and modify Schematron files. The tool includes a number of wizards to facilitate specification of constraints without requiring expertise in XPATH and XSLT syntaxes. The tool also provides the ability to test an XML instance file against the constraints defined by the current Schematron file. The tool can also be extended to work in conjunction with XML Schemas for validating an instance.
This project was initially created to facilitate the creation of more precise semantic definition of the business content standard. The content standard is usually created to be flexible so that it can be adopted by multiple organizations and industry. The result is the content standard that is separated into multiple layers. First, the XML Schema is used to define content model and declare document structure, but has limited capabilities for defining constraints. Schematron provides additional flexibility allowing the specification of constraints, requirements, and semantics which may be specific to an organization or a vertical component in the industry.
