Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The XML Security specifications include normative XML Schema [XMLSCHEMA-1], [XMLSCHEMA-2]. This note provides non-normative RELAX NG schemas in compact form [RELAXNG-SCHEMA].

2. XML Signature 1.1 RNG Schema

This section is non-normative.

The following are RELAX NG schemas for XML Signature 1.1.

XML Signature Core RELAX NG Schema Instance
xmldsig-core-schema.rnc
XML Signature 1.1 RELAX NG Schema Instance
xmldsig11-schema.rnc
RELAX NG XML Signature 1.1 Top-Level Schema
any-containing-xmldsig11.rnc
Any correct use of XML Signature 1.1 schema is expected be valid against this top-level schema.

3. XML Signature Properties RNG Schema

This section is non-normative.

The following are RELAX NG schemas for XML Signature Properties.

Signature Properties RNG Schema Instance
xmldsig-properties-schema.rnc

Valid RNG Schema instance.

RELAX NG XML Signature 1.1 with Properties Top-Level Schema
any-containing-xmldsig11-properties.rnc
Any correct use of XML Signature 1.1 schema containing Signature Properties defined in this specification is expected be valid against this top-level schema.
