NIST’s efforts to define methods and tools for developing XML Schemas to support systems integraton will help you effectively build and deploy XML Schemas amongst partners in integration projects. NIST provides guidance on how to build XML Schemas as well as a collection of tools that will help with the process allowing projects to more quickly and efficiently meet their goals.
- The focus of our XML Schema Development and Testing project is to help projects using XML Schema to define specifications for their integration needs. We have worked with a number of industries on refining and automating the specification process and provide a wealth of information on how to use XML to address your integration needs. For more information on what tools are currently available, see our XML-related tools page. For more information on this project’s activities, contact Simon Frechette.
- Our existing Manufacturing B2B Testbed has been initiated to address the needs for demonstration and testing of B2B standards in a persistent environment that provides reusability, accumulation of organizational knowledge and lessons learned, coordination, and cost-sharing among the participants. The testbed is an on-going effort to mobilize software vendors, manufacturers, standards organizations, and other stake-holding parties to enhance the capability for on-demand demonstration and testing of interoperability of enterprise applications in a B2B setting. For more information, please visit our Manufacturing B2B Testbed website.
- The NIST XML Schema development and testing process is refered to as the The Model Development Life Cycle. This life cycle describes an activity model for the creation, use, and maintenance of shared semantic models, and has been used to frame our research and development of tools. It is described in the following reports:
