DTD to XML Schema translator lets you translate a Document Type Definition into an XML Schema (REC-xmlschema-1-20010502). The translator can map meaningful DTD entities onto XML Schema constructs (simpleType, attributeGroup, group); the XML document model is not anonymized. In addition, the translator can map DTD comments onto XML Schema documentation nodes in various ways.
LuMriX is a search engine that exploits XML and XML Topic Maps. In contrast to other retrieval methods, it does not relate single items to resources, but combines given items into meaningful associations (concepts), which are in turn linked to resources. XML Topic Maps allow an intelligent mapping of relations between terms and pages. The meaning of the query is captured by transverse joint relations between the search items. LuMriX is also able to auto-extend its thesaurus and create new relations between failed search items and information resources. It is completely implemented in Java. It can consist of many individual distributed LuMriX servers, which communicate with each other by distributed algorithms. Standardized interfaces such as TCP, SOAP, HTTP, XML, and XTM allow simple utilization and maintenance by other applications.
X2U (XML to user) is an XML editor that does not force users to read XML markup. Instead, users fill out simple Web forms, which are automatically derived from XML models. The XML model provides the XML structure and an interface. It accepts an XML document, an XML Schema, a DTD (Document Type Definition), or an XML form (XForms), and requires only a Web browser to use.
The xsbrowser creates a human-readable documentation of XML document types represented as XML 1.0 DTDs or XML schemas (REC-xmlschema-20010502). The user needn't understand the DTD or XML Schema syntax. The xsbrowser exploits XML Schema. Although you can directly feed a DTD into the xsbrowser, it is recommended to first translate the DTD using the dtd2xs translator. The dtd2xs translator allows a more sophisticated mapping of DTDs onto XML schemas. The only requirement is a Web browser that supports Java applets, Javascript, and CSS1. The Web browser needn't support XML.
