  XML.com: An Introduction to Schematron
The Schematron schema language differs from most other XML schema languages in that it is a rule-based language that uses path expressions instead of grammars.
The third layer in the Schematron hierarchy is the pattern, declared using the
Schematron can also be used to validate XML instance documents that use namespaces.

 schematron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This XSLT-based implementation is the successor to the Schematron 1.5 stylesheets in wide-spread use (and follows the same "meta-stylesheet" design pattern.) It implements almost all ISO Schematron (only abstract patterns are yet to be implemented) and is the result of collating years of suggested improvements from Schematron users; an implementation status document is available.
Schematron Terminator is a validator that halts with an error code when the first error is detected.
Schematron SVRL is a validator that generates Schematron Validator Report Language XML documents, which are specified by the ISO Schematron standard.

  Schematron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Schematron is an XML structure validation language for making assertions about the presence or absence of patterns in trees.
Schematron can be used as an adjunct to DTDs, RELAX NG or XML Schema.
Its inventor has described Schematron as "a feather duster to reach the parts other schema languages cannot reach".

 <oXygen/> XML editor - Schematron
The Schematron is a language system for specifying and declaring assertions about arbitrary patterns in XML documents, based on the presence or absense, names and values of elements and attributes along paths.
Schematron does not specify any actions: it only allows assertions to be tested, for the parts of assertions to be given roles, for the assertions to be grouped into rules, for the rules to be grouped into patterns, and for the patterns to be activated in various phases.
Schematron can be considered a front-end for specifying the targets of a transformation system (see [CIP].) Indeed, Schematron also may be considered to split the front-end into a rule-based framework (see [Schemarama] for an implementation of this) and a query language (in Schematron's case, XPath.)

 XML Reference Guide > Schematron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Schematron is an interesting way of validating XML files because it is, quite frankly, not a schema at all.
Instead, Schematron is almost more of a reporting tool, defining situations (based on XPath expressions) in which the tool is to provide either positive or negative feedback regarding the structure of the document.
Schematron also enables you to create different phases, as well as nested reports, and enables you to embed Schematron information within other validation languages such as RELAX NG.

Schematron is a rule-based XML schema language, offering flexibility and power that W3C XML schema, RELAX NG, and DTDs simply can't match.
You need Schematron and can't settle for other languages if you have to check rules that go beyond checking the document structures (i.e., checking that an element bar is included in element foo) and their datatypes.
Schematron is also the right tool to use if you have to raise user-friendly error messages rather than depend on error messages that are generated by a schema processor and that are often obscure.

 A hands-on introduction to Schematron
Schematron is useful whenever you wish to apply and check against rules for the contents of XML documents.

 Apply Schematron constraints to XForms documents automatically
This XPath expression enforces the constraint you saw in the Schematron document -- that the sum of the values of elements A and B must be equal to 100.
The other Schematron option provided in the XML Form Generator preferences (Figure 1), Generate validation message outputs from schematron messages, makes use of this mechanism to conditionally display the messages given in the Schematron document for individual asserts and reports.
Since the Schematron document itself is made available to the form as instance data, you're free to bind controls to nodes in the Schematron document.

 Combining Schematron with other XML Schema languages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Schematron is a rule-based schema language and although you can define structure using Schematron it can often be a bit cumbersome.
Schematron is a very good complement to both W3C XML Schema and RELAX-NG and there seems little that cannot be validated by the combination.
The ability to combine embedded Schematron rules is not unique to W3C XML Schema and RELAX-NG and in fact it should be possible in all XML Schema languages the uses XML syntax and have an extensibility mechanism.

 RE: Schematron: Categories of Usage?
Author specified error messages: Schematron allows the schema author to write the error messages, thus the errors can be reported at a higher (operational/user) level.
Bryan has identified another way that Schematron may be used for checking data in an XML instance document: Algorithmic Checking: the validity of data in an XML instance document is determined not by mere examination or comparison of the data, but requires performing an algorithm on the data.
Actually because of the way schematrons assert works one can do checks on sequences where the possible upper bound is known but not if the upper bound is actually reached.

This is probably not the most useful schema: it only tells you what is wrong with an empty document rather than checking a full Schematron schema.
However, it does show that there are many different kinds of schemas possible: some of them similar to DTDs and some of them very different.

 Schematron Conformance Problem
We assume that you are familiar with the basics of Schematron, which is a powerful XML schema language in which validity constraints are defined using XPath expressions.
The fact that the SCP is undecidable means that a Schematron authoring tool (i.e., an editor) would not be able to analyze the user's schema and always let the user know whether or not there are any XML documents that conform to the schema.
The input to the new algorithm is a Schematron schema, which we'll call S. We pass S and another Schematron schema, which we'll call T, as inputs to the algorithm that solves the SIP.

This means, in effect, that all existing Schematron implementations need to be changed to support the new namespace (or both the old and the new.) However, it has the advantage, critical for a validation language, of increasing the chances that an implementation that accepts the namespace has been written according to the ISO specification.
In the early days of Schematron, experimentation was encouraged and there are many partial implementations of Schematron 1.5.
In Schematron 1.5, there was a confusion between attributes providing names or titles for the important elements.

Schematron is a host language for many potential means of accessing data (which could include XML or something else, such as flat text or database formats).
The Schematron is based on a simple action: First, find a context nodes in the document (typically an element) based on XPath path criteria; Then, check to see if some other XPath expressions are true, for each of those nodes." For an overview of the Schematron, see (1) "Introducing the Schematron.
