Name

RELAX NG

Statement of Purpose

The purpose is to create a specification for a schema language for XML based on the TREX proposal (http://www.thaiopensource.com/trex/). The key features of TREX are that it:

  • is simple
  • is easy to learn
  • uses XML syntax
  • does not change the information set of an XML document
  • supports XML namespaces
  • treats attributes uniformly with elements so far as possible
  • has unrestricted support for unordered content
  • has unrestricted support for mixed content
  • has a solid theoretical basis
  • can partner with a separate datatyping language (such W3C XML Schema Datatypes)

List of Deliverables

The deliverable is a specification for the language. The projected date for the first Committee Specification is 1 July 2001.
