Proposed and existing schemas
We are trying to gather together as many ideas and thoughts as possible, so that nothing is accidentally forgotten. If you have any schemas which you wish to add yourself, feel free add them to this list, either by uploading or via an external link:
- Dave Harvey's "straw man" suggestions
- Neelam Dugar's Doncaster specification as .doc or as .pdf
- Sintero Guidance
- Tim Benson's guidance
- XDS-I Metadata requirements
- Canada XDS-I Implementation Guide, for reference
