[svg-developers] Validating Compound or WICD documents
Hi, This is a question towards the multinamespace experts: If I have a compound document (e.g. XHTML, SVG, MathML) - how can I validate these documents properly. Is there a RelaxNG available to cover all these vocabularies in a single document? My preferred XML environment is currently OxygenXML - I wonder if there are tools either within Oxygen or outside (could also be commandline) that allow me to validate such documents.

In the last few years, I have been working with document types that
use multiple namespaces (completely unrelated to SVG). These document
types are defined in XML Schemas that describe where each element
can/must be used, e.g. the schema says that the 'formalMetadata'
element needs to contain a 'dc:title' element ('dc' here referring to
Dublin Core), that it can have a 'xml:lang' attribute, etc. An XML
Schema can also specify how elements and attributes from other
namespaces need to be handled, with rules like , or .
(These examples are from Test Case Description Language 2.0:
.)
If there is no schema for the WICD documents (regardless of the
schema language - XML Schemas, RelaxNG, ISO Schematron, ...), I
wouldn't know how to validate such a document. Namespace declarations
and xsi:schemaLocation aren't enough, as far as I know, because you
still need a description of how element X from namespace A relates to
element Y from namespace B etc.
Best regards,
Christophe

For this particular example, I thought that's what the XHTML+MathML+SVG profile was for : http://www.w3.org/TR/XHTMLplusMathMLplusSVG/ > Is there a RelaxNG available to cover all > these vocabularies in a single document?

I'm afraid I don't know any RelaxNG schema for this, but the aforementioned profile provides a DTD. The W3C validator support the profile : http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_uri+with_options And I'm sure OxygenXML or any other decent xml editor has a way to validate a document upon a DTD. If you need more advanced validation, you can always convert the DTD to another schema language (relaxng, ...) and extend it. For other types of combinations, you'll have to write the combined profile yourself, or look for it on internet. cheers David - To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" Yahoo!
