Schema File for the Input Language

The input language for curved hull is in XML format. Naturally, this language has a special XML "vocabulary", that means, there is a set of XML elements and attributes that are valid for this input language. The vocabulary is described in an XML Schema file (to be precise: there are two). The schema files, named "CurvedHull.xsd" and "HullBasic.xsd", can be found in the directory SB_SYSTEM\xml.

The xsd-files are rather difficult to read if you view them in their raw text format. If you have an XML tool (XML Spy for instance) it will present the syntax rules in a more readable format, as a graphical tree for instance. If you do not have such a tool you may read an appendix to this document. It is a graphical presentation of the xsd-files in HTML format.
