Anonymizing DTD or XML Schema

Hello,

does anyone know of a tool that automatically anonymizes a DTD or XML
Schema? By anonymizing I mean renaming all elements/type definitions but
still containing the structure, esp. the references/dependencies.

Background: we have problems handling an XML Schema with our XML editor and
the vendor requires the schema for debugging purposes. But unfortunately
the XML Schema comes from a different company and contains confident
information so that disclosing it to the vendor of the XML editor would
probably violate an NDA. If you wonder that I mixed up DTD and XML Schema:
basically that doesn't matter to us since the XML Schema was generated from
a DTD. Anonymizing either of those would help us.

hi,

as XML Schema is XML, you may use XSLT to rename each declaration; you
may use generate-id() to compute the new name of the elements and the
attributes

Already thought of this. I am just not sure how to handle all the
references/dependencies.

Of course I would prefer something ready made, too ;-)

I've read a lot of posts on "why relax ng is so very good" and on "why w3c xml schema should be the only schema language". I'm, however, still not clear on why I should prefer one over the other. I've made a small list of some good and bad points of both. These points don't really go into the grammar aspects of these languages, but are more about secondary aspects. The grammar aspects are different, but both are suitable for validating...

Hi I'm stuck with the following schema validation problem in VS.NET 2003: I have two types of xml document and related schema: project and projectCollection. A projectcollection is just a set of projects. Therefore, I wish to include the project customType in the projectCollection namespace. I therefore have declared two xsd documents: project.xsd and projectcollection.xsd
