component XML toolkit

Please note: this toolkit has been superseded by the CMDI Component registry and is not working correctly anymore! The component registry can also provide profile-based XSDs.

Here you can find information about the XML toolkit that has been developed to:

• create metadata components
• combine the components into a metadata profile
• create metadata descriptions that adhere to the profile

Find out more:

• download the XML toolkit
• read the documentation
• read the FAQ
• have a look at the material used at training sessions

In case of questions, please add a comment to this page or send us a mail.
