A Standards-based XML Schema Implementation Comparison Framework

Richard Tobin HCRC Language Technology Group 2 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh, Scotland EH8 9LW ABSTRACT This paper describes a standards-based approach to the task of comparing two implements of the W3C XML Schema language: no special-purpose software is required, nor any common API for accessing the results of schema validity assessment. A combination of XSLT transformations and appeal to an XML manifestation of XML Infosets is all that is required.
