While Matt works to get our updated documents published and the LC announcement made, I've been working on a validator for POWDER docs, now online at [1]. I'm hampered by my lack of programming skill - what I'd like to have done would be to use a validating XML parser but the best example of that (AFAIK) is Xerces and the Perl documentation for that is non-existent. If only I could do as they suggest and translate from the C documentation. Ah well... In the absence of that, Kev put me on to a method of using Perl modules I can understand that implement XPath. It's a bit rough and ready for now but so far it seems to work OK. There's no upload facility yet - it just has a drop down list of available examples - all the ones from the DR doc and a bunch of (deliberately) invalid ones. I was checking through the examples from the DR doc and found that example 2-14 was invalid. Shurely Shome Mishtake in the validator? Actually no - that example really is invalid - the pathstartswith element in the IRI set should be includepathstartswith. So it was worht it just for that I reckon! Matt - if you can put that right in the LC version of the DR doc 9and the external example file) I'd be most grateful. And btw - did you atch Kev's note about uploading the schema doc that makes rdf:resource valid? Cheers Phil.
