• 1) Schema files: The ePME XML schema for a proposal submission consists of several schema files. All the files are in a ASCII text format and can be opened using any text editor. The main schema file is "eIDK_import.xsd". It uses a common shared base schema "epme_base.xsd" which in turn references other schema files which contain enumerated types (1d, 1e, 1f, 1g, 1h, 1i, 1j, 1k).
• 1a) eIDK_import.xsd
• Describes the elements required for importing several proposals.
• 1b) epme_base.xsd
• An extraction of shared schema types the eIDK_import.xsd schema uses.

Notes

• The schema and sample XML files must be in the same directory in order for the XML file to be validated against the schema.
• XMLSpy was used to generate html documentation. When generated, you must manually change the path of the schema file from absolute to relative in the main html file (in our case, SchemaDocumentation.html).
