Data source schema

A data source schema is an XML-based file that defines the structure and properties of the data source. Each field or group in the data source corresponds to an element in the schema. The properties of each field and group in the data source define the structure of the corresponding elements and the data that each element can contain in the resulting document.

Rational® Publishing Engine provides the mechanism for creating or obtaining schemas for several data source types such as Rational DOORS®, Rational Tau, and Rational REST data sources. You must provide the schema for generic XML files as Rational Publishing Engine uses standard XML schema definition for data source schemas. For more information about the standard schema definition, see http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema. You can use a third-party application to create the schema from the XML data.
