Perl script for generating XSD from DCT

Hi,

I do have a requirement to generate XSD files based on DCTs.
One option is that I can do it manually and second option if I can write a Perl script( or any other).
Manual option is OK for the time being but this requirement is a continuous requirement. So if any one can suggest me from where I can start if I want to go for programmatic approach.

Perhaps you might be able to reverse the logic of iw-home/bin/iwdtd2dct.ipl, but that's as far as OOTB will get you.

Generally XML (DCTs) are derived from XSD files, not the other way around.
A few questions:

someone here will spend some of their un-paid time trying to get that to work for you. However, I wouldn't bother posting anything until you've spent at least a good week working on it yourself.Good luck.

There are many tools for mapping an XML instance to an XSD.
