Re: Mapping a UML model to a DTD or Schema

[Dave Carlson <dcarlson@ontogenics.com>]

I have also posted two recent white papers on this topic, mapping UML to
XML Schemas instead of (or in addition to DTDs).  I created UML models for
UDDI and for XHTML Basic, then used a UML profile that I've developed to
generate schemas from those two models.  To the best of my knowledge, the
schema that I generated for XHTML Basic is the first complete W3C Schema
for this specification.  For the UML diagrams and generated schemas, see:
  http://XMLmodeling.com

I am also presenting a half-day workshop on this topic at XML DevCon in New
York on April 8th.

Have you seen this paper from Extreme Markup Languages 2000,

http://www.gca.org/attend/2000_conferences/Extreme_2000/Papers/Kimber/uml-d
t
ds-presentation/uml-dtds-presentation.ppt

It is an example of using UML to model a document structure, from which a
DTD can then be derived.
