Decomposing XML schema documents into subsets

摘要

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system decomposes a set of schema files. The system receives a set of schema files and automatically identifies a plurality of root schema files in the set, where a root schema file is determined based on remaining schema files in the set lacking a reference to that schema file. For each root schema file, the system creates a subset of the original set of schema files. The subset contains the root schema file, and at least one subset further includes one or more schema files that provide information for that root schema file. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for decomposing a set of schema files in substantially the same manners described above.

主权项

1. A system for decomposing a set of schema files comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
automatically identify a plurality of root schema files in the set of schema files by making a list of all schema files in the set of schema files, and removing from the list each schema file included or imported by another schema file of the set of schema files, wherein each root schema file is limited to information for that root schema file; andcreate a subset for each identified root schema file, wherein
each created subset contains the corresponding identified root schema file andat least one particular subset further includes one or more non-root schema files that indirectly provide information for a particular root schema file of the at least one particular subset.
