>> NIST is pleased to announce a new release of the XML Schema Quality of

>>
>> QOD assists in consistently using XML Schema for the specification of

>> writing high quality XML schemas and those writing XML schemas.  The
>> purpose of QOD is to improve the quality of the XML schemas.   The
>> system allows users to define rules for writing quality XML Schemas and
>> to test schemas against those rules.  This release of the tool includes
>> improvements to the user interface, performance, and display of results,
>> support for ISO Schematron for writing tests, and the addition of an
>> import and export capability to facilitate off-line development of
>> tests.
>>
>> The QOD site also contains a number of sample sets of tests for XML
>> Schema Naming and Design Rule (NDR) specifications. In addition to the
>> improvements to the tool, the number of tests available also has been
>> expanded.   Extensive sets of test based on the following specifications
>> are available:

>>  * The OAGIS*^® * 9.0 XML Naming and Design Rules Standard
