Hi,

I have heard this point of view, but admit that I struggle to understand it. These formalisms have types and convey structure and relationships between types. Is there a more suitable formalism for data-models that you make use of?

An object-oriented formalism, in UML, uses XML for interchange.

But irrespective of my lack of understanding of the 'errors of my ways' (something I am trying to overcome), my concept of leveraging data-models in cost-effective ways, as I tried to give some examples of, is my key point. So data-models as XML do seem to me to be a fertile ground, for this "simplicity stack".

Regards
Steve

I've never understood this formulation.  XML schema formalisms (DTD,
RNG, WXS) are for analytic document structures, not - as far as I know
or understand them - for arbitrarily general "data models".  In fact,
attempting to cast a data model in XML schema terms could be a serious
mistake.
