Subject: Transforming Global NDR Schemas to Local NDR Schemas

Greetings
 
I've been looking a little (unofficially) at 
how
feasible it might be to transform 
UBL-NDR-type
(global) schemas into local NDR-type
schemas using XSLT (2.0)
 
An hour or so of work produced the 
attached
illustrative prototypes, summarized 
below.
 
Note - the concept may be far *less simple* 
for
the minor version schemas - here I've 
only
been looking at major version schemas 
without
the polymorphism envisioned for the global 
NDR
 
Note too: I've only tried writing a stylesheet 
for
the document schemas, I've started with 
a
module design which is similar for both sets 
of
schemas and I've kept the schemas very 
simple,
ignoring annotation/documentation.
 
I get the impression though that the whole 
idea
is rather feasible, given adequate 
resources/time.
 
All the best
 
Steve

Example of Global NDR:
 
Document Schema -
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    
xmlns="SomeDocument"
    
xmlns:uac2-0="GlobalImportedAggregateSchema"
    
xmlns:ubc2-0="GlobalImportedBasicSchema"
    
targetNamespace="SomeDocument"
    
elementFormDefault="qualified"
    
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
    
version="1.0">
  <xsd:import 
namespace="GlobalImportedAggregateSchema" 
schemaLocation="GlobalImportedAggregateSchema.xsd"/>
  <xsd:import 
namespace="GlobalImportedBasicSchema" 
schemaLocation="GlobalImportedBasicSchema.xsd"/>
  <xsd:element 
name="SomeDocument" type="SomeDocumentType">
    
<xsd:annotation>
      
<xsd:documentation>Some 
documentation</xsd:documentation>
    
</xsd:annotation>
  </xsd:element>
  
<xsd:complexType name="SomeDocumentType">
    
<xsd:annotation>
      
<xsd:documentation>Some 
documentation</xsd:documentation>
    
</xsd:annotation>
    
<xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element 
ref="Something" minOccurs="0" 
maxOccurs="1">
        
<xsd:annotation>
          
<xsd:documentation>Some 
documentation</xsd:documentation>
        
</xsd:annotation>
      
</xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
  
</xsd:complexType>
  <xsd:element name="Something" 
type="uac2-0:SomethingType"/>
</xsd:schema>
 

Example Document - 
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SomeDocument 
xmlns:AIAS="LocalImportedAggregateSchema" xmlns:AIBS="LocalImportedBasicSchema" 
xmlns="SomeDocument" xmlns:uac2-0="GlobalImportedAggregateSchema" 
xmlns:ubc2-0="GlobalImportedBasicSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="SomeDocument
GlobalDocumentSchema.xsd">
 <Something>
  <uac2-0:SomeReference>
   <ubc2-0:SomeID 
ID="String">normalizedString</ubc2-0:SomeID>
  </uac2-0:SomeReference>
 </Something>
</SomeDocument>
 

Example of Local NDR:
 
Document Schema -
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema 
xmlns="SomeDocument" xmlns:AIAS="LocalImportedAggregateSchema" 
xmlns:AIBS="LocalImportedBasicSchema" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
targetNamespace="SomeDocument" elementFormDefault="qualified" 
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="1.0">
 <xs:import 
namespace="LocalImportedAggregateSchema" 
schemaLocation="LocalImportedAggregateSchema.xsd"/>
 <xs:import 
namespace="LocalImportedBasicSchema" 
schemaLocation="LocalImportedBasicSchema.xsd"/>
 <xs:element 
name="SomeDocument" type="SomeDocumentType"/>
 <xs:complexType 
name="SomeDocumentType">
  <xs:sequence>
   <xs:element 
name="Something" type="AIAS:SomethingType" 
minOccurs="0"/>
  </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
 
Example Document -
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SomeDocument 
xmlns:AIAS="LocalImportedAggregateSchema" xmlns:AIBS="LocalImportedBasicSchema" 
xmlns="SomeDocument" xmlns:uac2-0="GlobalImportedAggregateSchema" 
xmlns:ubc2-0="GlobalImportedBasicSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="SomeDocument
LocalDocumentSchema.xsd">
 <Something>
  <AIAS:SomeReference>
   <AIBS:SomeID 
ID="String">normalizedString</AIBS:SomeID>
  </AIAS:SomeReference>
 </Something>
</SomeDocument>
 
 
 

Sample Stylesheet (for the transformation of the document 
schemas):

xmlns:ubc2-0="GlobalImportedBasicSchema" 
xmlns:uac2-0="GlobalImportedAggregateSchema" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
exclude-result-prefixes="uac2-0 ubc2-0 xsd fn xdt" >
 <xsl:output 
method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" 
indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:template 
match="/">
  <xsl:for-each

    </xsl:for-each>
    <!--

         <xsl:attribute
