	RELAX NG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, RELAX NG (REgular LAnguage for XML Next Generation) is a schema language for XML, based on Murata Makoto's RELAX and James Clark's TREX.
		RELAX NG compact syntax is a non-XML format designed so that it can be unambiguously translated to its XML counterpart, and back again, with one-to-one correspondence in structure and meaning, in much the same way that Simple Outline XML (SOX) relates to XML.
		Although the RELAX NG specification was developed at roughly the same time as the W3C XML Schema specification, the latter was arguably better known and more widely implemented in both open-source and commercial XML parsers and editors when it became a W3C Recommendation in 2001.

		It does aims only to produce a RELAX NG schema that is equivalent to the input schema in the sense that it validates the same documents as the input schema; it does not aim to preserve information that is not significant for validation such as the use of definitions.

		RELAX NG is a schema language for XML, based on TREX [9] and RELAX [20].
		RELAX NG is based on finite tree automata; this is an area of computer science that has been studied for many years and is accordingly mature and well understood.

		Relax NG schema for XSL-FO has been created with two goals in mind: it should ensure fast and reliable validation; it should be convenient to use in visual XSL FO editors or document builders.
		Relax NG does not allow explicit exclusions at the element level and the only point where you can modify definition is inclusion of the separate Relax NG file.

	XML.com: RELAX NG's Compact Syntax
		RELAX NG, which was developed by a small technical committee lead by James Clark, merges Murata Makoto's RELAX and Clark's
		The RELAX NG schema in XML syntax has the same meaning as the compact schema, but the compact schema is less than half the length.
		The placement of the attribute definition in RELAX NG follows the structure of the XML document instance, which is one reason why the syntax of RELAX NG is rather intuitive.

	xmlhack: RELAX NG now a full ISO International Standard
		James Clark has announced that the RELAX NG schema language was published by the ISO as an International Standard on December 1st.
		In a follow-up message, he indicates that the RELAX NG compact syntax is also slated to become an official part of the standard, as a new normative Annex.
		RELAX NG is supported by a large number of tools, including tools for converting RELAX NG schemas to and from DTDs and W3C XML Schemas, and an innovative XML editing mode for GNU Emacs that does incremental parsing and validation of document instances.

	RELAX NG with custom datatype libraries
		The RELAX NG XML schema language has achieved huge success over the past three years; this is due in large part to its incredibly clean and straightforward syntax, especially compared to the W3C XML Schema language.
		RELAX NG has even begun to replace W3C schemas within the W3C, where both the SVG and XHTML working groups are writing their schemas in RELAX NG, then translating them to DTDs and W3C XML Schemas.
		In particular, unlike the W3C XML Schema language, RELAX NG is not limited to one preordained collection of primitive data types with a limited set of facets for extension.

	XML Matters: Kicking back with RELAX NG, Part 2
		RELAX NG schemas provide a more powerful, concise, and semantically straightforward means of describing classes of valid XML instances than do W3C XML Schemas.
		Part 1 looked at ways in which RELAX NG is strictly more powerful than W3C XML Schemas, and looking at some best-effort transformations helped illustrate this point.
		A RELAX NG schema itself is validated during the process, as well.

	XML.com: Relax NG, Compared
		A RELAX NG schema is very close to a textual description of a vocabulary.
		RELAX NG has a clear separation between structure and datatypes, and we will see later on how we can plug a datatype system into our schema.
		The editors of RELAX NG believe that there can be no universal datatype system and that, beyond some very basic universal types, each application domain has its own requirements.

	RELAX NG Specification
		Section 6 describes the semantics of a correct RELAX NG schema that uses the simple syntax; the semantics specify when an element is valid with respect to a RELAX NG schema.
		Section 7 describes restrictions in terms of the simple syntax; a correct RELAX NG schema must be such that, after transformation into the simple form, it satisfies these restrictions.
		Although we use a notation based on the XML representation of an RELAX NG schema as a sequence of characters, the grammar must be understood as operating at the data model level.

	Cover Pages: TREX and RELAX Unified as RELAX NG, a Lightweight XML Language Validation Specification.
		The goals for RELAX NG are summarized in a recent announcement from the TC: "Members of the OASIS TREX Technical Committee announced their decision to integrate TREX (Tree Regular Expressions for XML) and RELAX (REgular LAnguage description for XML) in order to collaborate on a unified lightweight specification for validating XML-based languages.
		RELAX was initially developed at the Information Technology Research and Standardization Centre (INSTAC) in Japan, which advances Japanese national standards for XML under the auspices of the Japanese Standard Association (JSA).
		'RELAX NG will remain straightforward and easy to use, incorporating the best of TREX and RELAX.' Said Murata Makoto, one of the original developers of RELAX: 'It is important to note that RELAX NG is not intended to replace the W3C XML Schema Recommendation.

		RELAX NG is a nice schema language, but sometimes it is painful to type all tags by hand.
		I wrote a RELAX NG schema for VoiceXML by using this short-hand processor and it took 690 lines.
		As you see, it's almost like normal RELAX NG, but you'll notice that the namespace URI is different and there are unfamiliar attributes (@occurs and @type).

	Discover RELAX NG, A Simple Schema Solution
		While XSD (XML Schema Definition) was developed to define schemas in the XML format, RELAX NG supports pluggable simple data type libraries (new ones can be readily designed and built as needed) and provides two interconvertible syntaxes: an XML one for processing and a compact non-XML one for human authoring.
		The RELAX NG abstract data model deals with XML documents that represent both schemas and instances.
		RELAX NG uses self-explanatory numerical pattern quantifications, such as , , and tags, which would be represented by '*', '+', and '?' respectively in a DTD:

	Re: DTDs, W3C Schemas, RELAX NG, Schematron?
		With union, it's dead simple: if you have two RELAX NG schemas, s1.rng and s2.rng, then is a schema that matches the union.
		However, RELAX NG doesn't have general intersection and difference operators.
		The good news is that there's a very smart researcher, Haruo Hosoya, who created XDuce for his PhD, a large part of which is dealing with computing subset relationships for a type system which is very similar to RELAX NG.

	Converting RELAX NG to W3C XML Schema
		RELAX NG, especially in its compact syntax, provides a very easy to learn and easy to use schema language for XML.
		Thus there are RELAX NG schemas that it is impossible to exactly translate into W3C XML Schemas.
		It is also desirable to preserve the way that the original RELAX NG schema used defines and includes, so that the resulting W3C XML Schema is as human-understandable as possible.

	XML MATTERS #25: RELAX NG -- Doing Better than W3C XML Schemas --
		The virtue of RELAX NG is that it extends the well proven semantics of DTDs while allowing orthogonally extensible datatypes and easy composition of related instance models.
		In fact, RELAX NG's ability to support unordered (or semi-ordered) content models answers most of my prior concerns about the mismatch between the semantic models of OOP datatypes and the linearity of XML elements.
		Moreover, the ability of a RELAX NG schema to define an unordered collection of name, id number, and book(s) answers my complaint--when discussing YAML, and elsewhere--that XML imposes arbitrary order on data that is not inherently sequential.
