Understanding the XML

Useful link: http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_elements_ref.asp

I have been comparing the HIVE SDI XML file for IMS 1.3 and the XSD file.

Interestingly - the XML (SDI) file used by HIVE does not reference the LOM 1.3 XSD URL - however this does appear in the exported metadata XML - see:

HIVE must have this recorded somewhere else.

This is useful to know - as I am writing (attempting to write) an SDI file (XML) for XCRI-CAP. This is a bit trickier than the LOM example as LOM is neatly linear elements (hierarchical tree - see image)

XCRI - is somewhat less linear and object led - so writing out a structured tree for it may require some interrogation to identify elements and the branches/leaves. Essentially I need to write nested tags with attributes that tell HIVE how to provide the GUI/Boxes for the data inputer.
