Hello all, I have decided to go with RELAX NG for the schema. I will explain my reasons for doing so. First and foremost, it is more readable. A developer getting his feet wet with XML will be able to understand the schema just by reading it. Understanding an XSD schema takes a little research,

I'm documenting a source in gdmxml now, and as I expected a lot of questions have been raised in my mind. First is the issue of citation-parts. The citation-part is used to store citation parts such as title, author, page, etc. As it stands now I would document "Marriages in Fladstrand Parish (
