------------------------------------------
Summary: Map the ODF XML RelaxNG schema into a GraphDB for Analysis
Key: ODFTOOLKIT-458
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-458
Project: ODF Toolkit
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Svante Schubert
Assignee: Svante Schubert
*PROBLEM*
The ODF XML (RelaxNG) schema is too big to easily read or be analysed by humans.
In version ODF 1.2 it has 598 elements and 1300 attributes.
*SOLUTION*
Therefore I would love to load the ODF XML RelaxNG schema into a GraphDB (for
instance Neo4J) and do some basic analysis (sanity checks) on it.
For instance, I am curious on query questions as:
a) is a certain ODF element able to become nested (e.g. <text:p>)
b) is every ODF element with an ID allowed to exist more than once (this issue
occurred)
c) what is the minimum mandatory ODF XML document
etc.
These queries could help a lot to understand and test the XML schema.
Certainly, I would love to have afterwards more tooling.
For instance, to be able to add metadata to the nodes to categorise nodes
(which are meant for metadata, styles, text container, which are just plain
boilerplate (e.g. office:body)
The idea is to improve the generation of ODFDOM source code to allow easier
maintainability.
*DESIGN IDEA*
Instead of reading plain RelaxNG, I thought it might be a better idea to read
already a 'normalised' document the dumped internal model from MSV. You may
find the dump for each ODF version as test references from
<ODFTOOLKIT_ROOT>/generator/schema2template/src/test/resources/examples/odf
e.g.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/odf/trunk/generator/schema2template/src/test/resources/examples/odf/odf12-msvtree.ref?revision=1167972&view=co
NOTE:
You may find more about the information on the dump and the MSV model in:
<ODFTOOLKIT_ROOT>/generator/schema2template/src/main/java/schema2template/example/odf/OdfHelper.java
and
<ODFTOOLKIT_ROOT>/generator/schema2template/target/apidocs/index.html
https://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/0.6.2-incubating/schema2template/
I would love to have a discussion on further thoughts of yours on the list.
