Thanks for the reply, Keith. Yes, I was using a 3-rd party tool called dtd2xs to generate schema from my dtd. and here is the generated xsd:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xs:element name="go:go"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" ref="go:version" /> <xs:element ref="rdf:RDF" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute ref="xmlns:go" fixed="http://www.geneontology.org/dtds/go.dtd#"; /> <xs:attribute ref="xmlns:rdf" fixed="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; /> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="go:version"> <xs:complexType> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="xs:string"> <xs:attribute name="timestamp" type="xs:string" /> </xs:extension> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="rdf:RDF"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="go:term" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="go:term"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="go:name" /> <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="go:part_of" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute ref="rdf:about" use="required" /> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="go:name" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="go:part_of"> <xs:complexType> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="xs:string"> <xs:attribute ref="rdf:resource" use="required" /> </xs:extension> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> I just tried org.exolab.castor.xml.dtd.Converter with my dtd, and it complained about the dtd, saying java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error: 'rdf:RDF' is not a valid NCName.
