Datypic XML Schema services
Training
We teach hands-on XML Schema training courses that range from 1 to 4 days in length. We can teach version 1.0 or 1.1. The courses can be customized to suit your needs, and tailored to whichever XML editor you are using. Emphasis is on hands-on exercises and practical examples. See an example course agenda, or a list of other available courses.
Design and development
We are experienced XML Schema designers and developers who have worked with both private companies and industry consortiums to develop and manage large XML vocabularies. We work with any of the major schema languages: W3C XML Schema, RELAX NG or Schematron.
Our philosophy is to design robust XML vocabularies and schemas that can stand the test of time. We pay close attention to issues like interoperability, performance, namespace support, typing. We take into account the many factors that influence schema design, including usability for editors, robustness, ease of maintenance, ease of versioning and extensibility.
Documentation and testing software
The software that generates the Schema Central site can be customized to generate robust, cross-referenceable documentation for your XML schemas.
We also have internal tools that can be used to:
- identify XSD issues (serving as an "XSDLint")
- automatically clean up redundant or faulty XSD
- document complex XSD schemas
