Transforming logical data models into XML schemas

You can transform an XML schema into a logical data model. The transformed XML schema consists of one or more XML schema files.

The following steps describe a typical scenario:

  1. Use a logical data model for data modeling, including reverse engineering from existing databases.
  2. Analyze the logical data model to ensure that it is valid and conforms to enterprise standards.
    Note: You should always analyze your logical data model to ensure that it is valid before you transform it. If you transform an invalid model, unpredictable results can occur.
  3. Transform the logical data model into an XML schema.
  4. Modify and finalize the XML schema for use in defining the structure of XML documents or messages.
