RE: [xml-dev] Data model vocabulary

Thank you for all your suggestions. I found them very insightful.

Just to share short conclusions:
- Annotations on XML Schema: The simplest path and for sure is the path we'll take. It'd be nice if we use an standard for annotations.
- AML: Sorry it's not XML, but very interesting for new projects. 
- MXV: What this product does is what we are trying to do, but our models are already built on XML Schemas, so there is little return for the investment required at this point. Why not making its model format open? You could still sell the tools.


Again, thank you for sharing


- Bill

Hi William,

The easiest thing to do is to just bring whatever additional data you have as annotations in your schemas.

Best Regards,
George
