ANN: XML Schema 1.1 for Managers

[Roger Costello]

Hi Folks,

I created a tutorial, for managers, on XML Schema 1.1.

Its purpose is to give an overview of the new features of XML Schema 1.1, without getting into its syntax, and to show how the new features can benefit a business.

Hello Roger,
   As usual, a brilliant description from you, as shared at the URL
given by you :) I'll be reading the presentation you wrote, in the
next few days, and may post any thoughts I might have.

I would like to share, that Apache Xerces-J is also working on XML
Schema 1.1 implementation. I just wrote a blog post, about this at,
http://mukulgandhi.blogspot.com/2009/09/roger-l-costello-xml-schema-11.html.

Excellent stuff !

I have passed it to the other team members of our CDISC "XML Governance
Team" (CDISC provides XML-based standards for use in clinical research).
Together with the information that Apache Xerces-J is working on an
implementation, this might mean that we move all our schemas to version 1.1
early next year.
Our standards will highly benefit from this as:
- a good number of the rules in our standards can currently not be expressed
with XML-Schema 1.0, but they can with Schematron, so moving to 1.1 is a
"great step for mankind"
- our extensions use xsd:redefine which is not (correctly) supported by
XMLSpy (but is by most other validators). This causes a problem as some
authorities like the FDA have standardized on XMLSpy.
Presume (but haven't looked into yet) that "override" is more powerful. Hope
that XMLSpy will support that.

Speaking about MS parsers. Is there any news there about future support by
Microsoft for XML-Schema 1.1? E.g. are there any .Net validating parsers in
development ?

Best regards,

Jozef Aerts

Thanks for the encouraging words!

MS respond to customer input on things like this -- get your pharma
industry colleagues to tell their MS account rep. that they want XML
Schema 1.1, and that will help make it happen.
