Epischema – Schema Constraints That Facilitate Content Completion
Adding a lightweight Relax NG schema on top of an unmodified base schema offers an advantage that Schematron constraints cannot provide: Content completion.
As a managing director of le-tex publishing services GmbH, Gerrit Imsieke is responsible for XML technologies and business development. Gerrit has the privilege of being able to devote almost half of his time to actual software development, particularly in the XProc and XSLT 2+ languages.
Gerrit successfully made up for his abysmal sales skills by releasing the open-source, open-standards conversion/validation framework transpect. It is built on XProc, XSLT, Relax NG, and Schematron, and it attracted many new customers that like to avoid vendor lock-in by adopting open-source, open-standard solutions.
Gerrit is currently involved in the standardization of NISO Z39.102-201x, STS: Standards Tag Suite and XProc 3.0.
