> Organizations are finding that in the absence of proper

> manner with little coordination. This creates much 
> duplication of effort resulting in inconsistent and 
> incompatible XML Schemas. Often there are multiple schemalets 
> for representing the same information element.
> 
> The paper shows an XML Vocabulary Management application of 
> the ebXML Registry that is used as a tool to address the 
> problems created by ad hoc development of XML Vocabularies. 
> The tool uses the content and metadata management 
> capabilities of an ebXML Registry to manage Schemalets, 
> facilitate their discovery and subsequent reuse when 
> assembled into complete schemas.
> 
> The intended audience includes those that are interested in 
> XML tools and specifically XML Vocabulary Management tools. 
> This includes systems architects, developers as well as 
> managers. The paper assumes moderate technical background in 
> XML and Wed Services. However, anyone with little or no 
> technical background will be able to understand the business 
> aspects of the presentation.
> 
> The audience is first introduced to the concepts behind XML 
> Vocabulary development and the common problems when XML 
> Vocabulary is developed in an ad hoc manner.
> 
> Next, a set of requirements are identified for a tool that 
> manages XML Vocabulary elements.
> 
> With this introduction, much of the remainder of the paper 
> then describes in detail the /Schemalet Manager Application/ 
> and shows how it meets the requirements identified and 
> addresses the problems identified in Vocabulary Management.
> 
> The paper concludes with an assessment of how well the 
> /Schemalet Manager Application/ met its objectives, 
> identifies areas for improvement in the application as well 
> as ebXML Registry standard and shares some useful links.
