I've put together a preliminary schema. I am sure adjustment will be needed, but I think it is a good first cut. I'd appreciate some feedback about whether it validates your models, so please take your xxx.map.xml file and hand edit the top of it to change this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data-map project-version="3.0">

to this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data-map project-version="3.0" xmlns="http://cayenne.apache.org/xml/ns/map " xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://apache.org/xml/ns/cayenne http://people.apache.org/~amaniatis/cayenneMap.xsd ">



Then please use a tool to validate this schema. Personally I use Oxygen which is really nice, but anything will do. You can even write a little Java tool to do it [1]. Ultimately that's how Cayenne Modeler will validate the XML to see that it matches the schema.

We'll need to discuss how to name the namespace, and it might be nice to put lots of documentation into the schema file itself which will help people who want to dive in.
