15、wide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in

16、 fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are draf

17、ted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter

18、national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.

19、SO/IEC 19757-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 34, Document description and processing languages. ISO/IEC 19757 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology Document Schema Definition Languages (DSDL)

20、: Part 1: Overview Part 2: Regular-grammar-based validation RELAX NG Part 3: Rule-based validation Schematron Part 4: Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language (NVDL) The following parts are under preparation: Part 5: Datatypes Part 6: Path-based integrity constraints Part 7: Character reperto

21、ire description language CRDL Part 8: Document schema renaming language DSRL Part 9: Datatype- and namespace-aware DTDs Part 10: Validation management BS ISO/IEC 19757-4:2006vi Introduction ISO/IEC 19757 defines a set of Document Schema Definition Languages (DSDL) that can be used to specify one or

22、more validation processes performed against Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents. A number of validation technologies are standardized in DSDL to complement those already available as standards or from industry. The main objective of ISO/IEC 19757 is to bring together different validationrelat

23、ed technologies to form a single extensible framework that allows technologies to work in series or in parallel to produce a single or a set of validation results. The extensibility of DSDL accommodates validation technologies not yet designed or specified. The motivations of this part of ISO/IEC 19

24、757 are twofold. One is to allow the interworking of schemas describing different markup vocabularies. The other is to allow these schemas to be written in different schema languages. For this purpose, this part of ISO/IEC 19757 specifies a Namespacebased Validation Dispatching Language (NVDL). The

25、structure of this part of ISO/IEC 19757 is as follows. Clause 5 describes the data model, which is the abstraction of an XML document used throughout the rest of the document. Clause 6 describes the full syntax and the simple syntax of NVDL scripts, and further describes the transformation from the

26、full syntax to the simple syntax. Clause 7 describes primitive operations for the NVDL data model, which are used for defining the NVDL semantics. Clause 8 describes the semantics of a correct NVDL script in the simple syntax; the semantics specify how elements and attributes in a given document are

27、 dispatched to different validators and which schema is used by each of these validators. Clause 9 describes conformance requirements for NVDL dispatchers. Annex A and Annex B define the full syntax and the simple syntax using RELAX NG, respectively. Annex C defines the full syntax using NVDL and RE

28、LAX NG. Finally, Annex D provides examples of the application of NVDL. The origin of NVDL is JIS TR X 00444, which was created and then submitted to ISO/IEC JTC1 as a fasttrack ISO/IEC DTR 2225025 by the Japanese national member body for SC 34.

29、t Schema Definition Languages (DSDL) Part 4: Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language (NVDL) 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 19757 specifies a Namespacebased Validation Dispatching Language (NVDL). An NVDL script controls the dispatching of elements or attributes in a given XML document to diffe

30、rent validators, depending on the namespaces of the elements or attributes. An NVDL script also specifies which schemas are used by these validators. These schemas may be written in any schema languages, including those specified by ISO/IEC 19757. 2 Normative references The following referenced docu

Elements in the NVDL data model are extended as described in this clause. An element consists of: a name, a context, a set of attributes or attribute slot nodes, and an ordered sequence of zero or more children
