METHOD FOR VALIDATING UNIQUE PARTICLE ATTRIBUTION CONSTRAINTS IN EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE SCHEMAS

摘要

A method for validating unique particle attribution (UPA) in extensible markup language (XML) schemas includes receiving an input argument including a particle of an XML schema, verifying particle occurrence information of the XML schema, verifying particle sequence model group information of the XML schema, verifying particle choice model group information of the XML schema, verifying particle all model group information of the XML schema, and recursively calling additional instances of the method for validating UPA such that all particles recursively defined in the particle of the input argument are subject to verification of UPA constraints.
