The curent "experimental" script for XML Schema
Generation comes with the following caveat:
This software is supplied "as-is", as a sample to
demonstrate the ability
to generate W3C compliant XML-Schema from a Rational
Rose DTD Model.
This script is not supported by Rational Software and
is provided as an
' experimental tool to see how XML-Schema is formed and
it's relationship to
the existing XML 1.0 DTD standard. This script is
Not part of any product
engineering efforts and should not in any way
be taken to reflect
capabilities or directions for the Rational Rose
Product.
Rational Software does not feel that at this time
XML-Schema is ready for
production applications as the official W3C
documentation is still at a
working-draft stage. However XML-Schema
will become important and a number
of our customers would like to be
able to see how an XML-Schema could be
generated from a DTD, or from a
UML model.

In my current project, an ability to generate XML
Schema from UML diagrams is a tantalising prospect.
Before we embark on a project to extend this
capability for ourselves, I'd just like check that this is still
Rational's
current position in this area. Obviously we would not want to waste the effort
on something proiprietary
if there is a prospect of further announcements in
thsi area?
Rgds.
