BitCurator Metadata Handling

Extracting Schema Metadata into a CSV

The xslt/schema2csv.xsl script can be used to produce a CSV file with a row of information for each element extracted from the XML Schema definition file. See the csv/dfxml.csv file in this repository for an example.

$ xsltproc xslt/schema2csv.xsl dfxml.xsd

The script produces values for the following columns:

• Tag name
• Element name
• Description
• May contain
• May occur in
• Attributes
• Allowable values
• Repeatable?
• Mandatory?

The "Example" column is present, but the script will not place any content there due to the lack of examples in the source XML Schema.
