What can I do with XSD?

[xkenneth]

Hi All,

I appreciate any help.

So I'm working with the WITSML spec (http://www.witsml.org/). The
witsml spec is just a large definition (tons of XML objects defined by
XSD) for transmitting data in the oil industry. My basic question is,
what can i do with these? I'm sort of a newbie to XML, and looking at
an XSD file, all i can see is a class definition. My language of
choice for my work is python. Just off the top of my head, it seems
that I should be able to create XML data from XSD schemas just as you
would create class objects from class definitions. Can anyone point me
in the right direction?

Overall, what can i do with these definitions?

Regards,
Kenneth Miller
