Searching for Schema Resources

Locating schema resources allows you to inspect the ways they are mapped to tModels. You can search by all or part of a URI, a namespace, a schema-defined type or a schema-defined element. Searching this way also provides complete URLs to schema documents.

To Search for a Schema Resource

  1. Click on the Search tab at the top of the console.

  2. Click on the XSD link in the menu

  3. Choose the search method.

    • By Location (URI) - In this edit box, enter all or part of the URI to the document you wish to inspect. The "%" wildcard can be used at the beginning and the end of the search string. For example, "%employee%" would match a URI pointing to an "employees.xsd" file as well as a URI containing an ".../employees/..." branch in the resource tree or one hosted on a server named "http://employees.in.acme.org".

    • By Namespace - In this edit box, enter all or part of the Namespace used in the schema document you wish to inspect. The "%" wildcard can be used at the start and the end of the search string. For example, "%employee%" would match a namespace ending in "employeeList"; a namespace containing ".../employees/..." as part of its name or one associated with a URL starting with "http://employees.org".

    • By Defined type - in this edit box, enter all or part of the name of the type defined in the schema document you wish to inspect. The "%" wildcard can be used at the start and end of the search string. For example, "%person%" would return schemas containing "person", "persons", "special_persons".

    • By Defined element - in this edit box, enter all or part of the name of an element defined in the schema document you wish to inspect. The "%" wildcard can be used at the start and end of the search string. For example, "%depart%" would return schemas containing "depart", "departure", "department", and "org_departs" elements.

  4. Click the Find button at the bottom of the page.

  5. In the returned record set, you can inspect the tModel mapping of the schema by clicking on the link in the technical model field. You can also inspect the schema document directly by clicking on the link in the location field.
