Yes, for production accounts. An XSL stylesheet can be uploaded or developed to allow for custom XML conversions. Please contact us for further information.

Yes, for production accounts. Word files can be zipped and uploaded to the WA Conversion Center for batch conversion.

XML Schema acts as a template for XML data. A Schema is used to define the basic structure of an XML document, so that a group of related items will share a common format. This is important because it is much easier to process XML data which is in a consistent, predictable format. Schemas contain a combination of elements, each of which stores a single data type. Because of the flexibility of XML, an element can store anything from a simple name or phone number to a full-fledged annual report.

Yes! PaperPort integrates with your computer's word processing programs (Microsoft Word, Notepad, Wordpad, etc.) and with a built-in OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capability, it allows for one to convert a scanned image into editable text. The original data must be printed text, as hand written information will not be easily recognized.

Yes, for production accounts. Word files can be zipped and uploaded to the WA Conversion Center for batch conversion.

Yes, the DITA toolkit provides both DTD and XML Schema representations of the architecture. The basic concepts of DITA are not tied to implementation. Both schemas and DTDs can be used to define specializable DITA elements.

The WA conversion engine looks for "named styles" in the Word Automation template and uses the styles to convert Word docs to compliant DocBook and XML files.

XSD is the most schema format for XML documents. It is a W3C standard and is very widely deployed. XML Schema is used internally for validating XML documents including checking for required fields, data format, conditional fields, etc. XML documents are extensible. This allows flexibility in the extended attributes that can be attached to them. By contrast, EDI documents are extremely rigid; they have to comply with the EDI file exactly.

There have been some requests for an XML-Schema representation of the RecipeML format. If there continues to be sufficient interest and time permits, FormatData will most likely produce one. If a third party would like to create one, FormatData will be happy to help verify it and post it on this site.

XML Thunder™ will allow you to import the XML Schema and automatically create an XML handler which you can generate code for parsing or creating the XML document conformant to the schema.

all: It defines an unordered set of elements. Attention: all must be the only child of its parent content model and members in all only allowed to be elements and the cardinality of 0 or 1. all cannot be nested in other compositors either.

abstract is the same concepts in Java or C++, a type is abstract means it is not instantiable, or Specifies whether the complex type can be used in an instance document. True indicates that an element cannot use this complex type directly but must use a complex type derived from this complex type. final is to prevent derivation just like final class in Java. block is to prevent substitution of the ISA relationship in the OO sense.

IMHO, no, xml schema will gain more market shares, but it will never replace DTD. Xml schema has a serious problem, which is too complicated. Read an excellent article from Dr. David Mertz here Comparing W3C XML Schemas and Document Type Definitions (DTDs).C (born in 1970's), C++ (born in 1980's), Java (born in 1990's) have not finally replaced FORTRAN/COBOL ((born in 1950's) yet. .NET ((born in the 21st century) is actually making FORTRAN/COBOL more alive than before.

Not yet. On 24 October 2000, The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) issued XML Schema as a W3C Candidate Recommendation. It will take some time for XML schema to become a W3C Recommendation, and for a BPG XML Schema to be developed and tested.

Since XML Schema is not finalized, no conversion programs are currently available. We plan to develop such a conversion program and disclose its source program under an open source licence, when XML Schema becomes a W3C recommedation. As long as you use features of Conformance Level "classic" of RELAX Core, you should be able to convert your RELAX grammars to XML Schemas automatically.

W3C Schema versions of the Archiving and Interchange DTD and the Journal Publishing DTD are now available. The DTD authors considered writing the "master" version of these tag sets in W3C XML Schema before we wrote the DTD. We understand that many people want to use XML schemas, and that there are XML tools that use only W3C XML Schema. We chose to express the "master" version of these tags sets in DTD form for several reasons (described below).

The Schema is a blueprint of all objects in the domain and when first created a default Schema exists which contains definitions for users, computers, domains etc. Because of this, you can only have one schema per domain as you cannot have multiple definitions of the same object. The default schema definition is defined in the SCHEMA.INI file that also contains the initial structure for the NTDS.DIT (storage for the Directory data). This file is located in the %systemroot%\ntds directory.

Yes, we can convert your paper documents to editable word processing file formats. The accuracy of which directly correlates with the quality of the original document. OCR software vendors state their accuracy to be near 99.7% with a high-quality original document but typical industrial usage will most likely yield an average of 95-99% accuracy.

The software is designed to convert ASCII text into HTML. That is plain, unformatted documents. Word and other wp packages use binary formats that contain formatting codes embedded in the text (or in some cases the text is embedded in the codes :-). Even RTF, which is a text file, is so heavily full of formatting information that it could not be perceived as normal text (look at it in Notepad and you'll soon see what I mean).

Yes, we have highly accurate programs to convert paper documents into MS Word or Excel. These enable us to scan, OCR convert and then verify/error check any original typed information.

Yes, if you request Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when we scan your documents. The quality of the resulting document depends on the scanning resolution and the quality of the original paper document.

Yes, but it is preferable to give us this request before scanning, so we can adjust the scanning resolution accordingly to accommodate the Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The quality of the resulting Microsoft Word document depends on the scanning resolution and the quality of the original paper document.

Yes. An XML schema is available for Sitemap files at http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd and a schema for Sitemap index files is available at http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd. You can also read more about validating your Sitemap.

lt;!ELEMENT Root (customer | transaction)+ > <!ELEMENT customer (#PCDATA) > <!ELEMENT transaction (#PCDATA) > lt;xsd:element name="Root" > <xsd:complexType"> <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xsd:element name="customer" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="transaction" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element >

This issue is also related to the issue of using XML or RDF, addressed in a previous question. First of all, let us quote from the OWL Guide recommendation: ontology differs from an XML Schema in that it is a knowledge representation, not a message format. Most industry based Web standards consist of a combination of message formats and protocol specifications.

The Microsoft Office Word program lets you save a Word document as an html page. The problem with Word's normal conversion to html is that it adds a lot of extra code to the web page to allow the page to be resurrected as a Word document. Generally speaking, when you create a web page using Word's 'save as html' command, there will be problems viewing the document in WebCT. Usually it is best to just leave the document in Word format.
