Generating schemas from templates

Hi Don,

      

      I'm the culprit who volunteered you, I figured you would be
      interested. Also involved in this are Tim Grantham and Carlos
      Evia. In the meeting Michael P talked about making the tool that
      would convert a template to a specialization, based on the info at
      the bottom of this email and especially this thread:

      

      http://markmail.org/message/pd4u5kfg44xp5x5c

      

      Michael wanted XSLT that would run on the template file and output
      a specialization. I believe this output includes a topic and also
      a schema, and I mentioned making a RelaxNG schema. But I'm a bit
      muddy on what the output would be exactly, please correct me or
      verify.

      My apologies to all; I intended to meet but had the wrong time in
      mind. I deserve to have been volunteered for far worse; this fate
      looks acceptable. If anyone captured some insights that would be
      helpful, please put those in an email to the under a clear subject
      line so that we can discuss the approach (e.g., "Generating
      schemas from templates"). Thanks!

      Per our call today
          - there's a link below to the draft specialization
          architecture.

        

        Mark, Carlos, Tim, and Don have
          (been) volunteered to take that email and implement it:

        

        - adding the required
          elements/attributes to the base topic/map DTDs

        - creating XSLT to generate RNG
          (or DTD, XSD...) from a template topic (ie any DITA topic,
          with/without use of the new template attributes/elements)

        Here's where I think we are:

        

          Draft doctypes for topic/map:

          Draft specialization architecture:

          Industry/domain validation:

          - learning and training - analyzed scenarios, proposed new
          specializations adapting to lightweight model

          - marketing - analyzed scenarios, working towards new
          specialization proposals

          - software development - analyzed scenarios

          - machine industries - analyzed scenarios

        

          Cross-format mappings:

          - markdown and HTML5 in progress, need updating

          - JSON investigated

          - others proposed: PPT, other slide formats, Word
