Integrated Syntax and Semantic Validation for Services Computing

Abstract

XML syntax and semantic validations are critical to the correct service transaction specification and service integration based on existing distributed and heterogeneous computing services. This research proves that the current industry practice of XSLT-based Schematron validation may produce invalid results, and contributes a reusable XML validator component that supports sound integrated syntax/semantic validations and event-driven integration with its environment through public APIs.
