xmllint validation of VSM

[tsodring]

xmllint ignores the hint specified in schemaLocation about which XSD files to use when validating. Nor does it seem possible to tell xmllint to use multiple xsd files. The following StackOverflow Q&A shows an approach that works. When applied to the VSM output in export-all, the following approach can be used to validate. Create a xsd file called vsm-include.xsd with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <import namespace="http://www.arkivverket.no/standarder/noark5/arkivstruktur" schemaLocation="arkivstruktur.xsd"/>
    <import namespace="http://localhost:8092/noark5v5//schemas/vnd-email-v1.xsd" schemaLocation="vnd-email-v1.xsd"/>
</schema>

Then to validate use the following command:

xmllint --noout --schema vsm-include.xsd arkivstruktur.xml

I checked this by making a change to the vsm:

vnd-email-v1:thread<[email protected]></vnd-email-v1:thread>

to

vnd-email-v1:thread1<[email protected]></vnd-email-v1:thread1>

and got the following result

arkivstruktur.xml:124: element thread1: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://localhost:8092/noark5v5//schemas/vnd-email-v1.xsd}thread1': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( {http://localhost:8092/noark5v5//schemas/vnd-email-v1.xsd}thread, {http://localhost:8092/noark5v5//schemas/vnd-email-v1.xsd}message-id ).
arkivstruktur.xml fails to validate
