RELAX NG: James Clark, Murata Makoto
Schematron: Rick Jelliffe, Eddie Robertsson, Francis
Norton
W3C Schemas: Henry Thompson (lead), Martin Gudgin, Priscilla
Walmsley
Come
and find out more about the strengths and weaknesses of currently available schema
languages! This Town Hall will give you more information about when to use W3C
Schemas, Schematron, RELAX NG or DTDs. This session bring together experts in
four different schema languages, so that you can learn the strengths and weaknesses,
and when each schema language is likely to be most useful. Schema language experts
in four languages were asked to participate and they formed four teams, one each
for W3C Schemas, Schematron, RELAX NG and DTDs. Each team created schemas for
a set of document types (also created by the teams). At the Town Hall meeting,
two analysts will report on the schemas, and then the open discussion will begin!
Attendees will be able to ask questions of the team members and the analysts.
Note that not all team members from all teams are able to attend the session,
although all participated in the design of the schemas.
