RE: [xml-dev] generate common xml shema from multiple xml instances

["Michael Kay" <mike@saxonica.com>]

I've done this with good results in the past by simply concatenating the documents (by generating a wrapper document that pulled in the indivudual documents as external entities). Of course there's a bit of post-processing needed, e.g. to get rid of the wrapper element, but that's always true when you generate a schema anyway.

Subject: [xml-dev] generate common xml shema from multiple xml instances

Hi,

How can I generate a common XML schema for multiple xml instances??
I know many tools can generate an XSD from a single XML instance.
But in my case, I want to get the unknown common XSD for a bunch of XML instances.

Thanks for any help,
