an abstract description of one of the interfaces defined
by this service standard.
</xs:documentation>
<xs:documentation>
This element can provide details about the interface
that apply to all implementations. Each interface
element should specify a role with a value starting
with "std:" or, if there is only one standard interface,
is equal to "std".
</xs:documentation>
<xs:documentation>
Applications that, for example, wish to build a GUI
to the service on-the-fly would first access this generic
description. Site-specific variations, such
as supported optional arguments or site specific
arguments, would be given in the actual implemented
service description and overrides any common information
found in this generic description. This generic interface
description can be matched with the site-specific one
using the role attribute.
</xs:documentation>
<xs:documentation>
Even though the Interface type requires an
accessURL child element, this element is
intended to describe a service in the
abstract--i.e. without reference to a particular
installation of the service. Consequently,
the accessURL may contain a bogus URL;
applications should not expect it to be resolvable.

This XML schema documentation has been generated with DocFlex/XML RE 1.8.0 using DocFlex/XML XSDDoc 2.2.0 template set.
DocFlex/XML RE is a reduced edition of DocFlex/XML, which is a tool for programming and running highly sophisticated documentation and reports generators by the data obtained from any kind of XML files. The actual doc-generators are implemented in the form of special templates that are designed visually using a high quality Template Designer GUI basing on the XML schema (or DTD) files describing the data source XML.
DocFlex/XML XSDDoc is a commercial template application of DocFlex/XML that implements a high-end XML Schema documentation generator with simultaneous support of framed multi-file HTML, single-file HTML and RTF output formats. (More formats are planned in the future).
A commercial license for "DocFlex/XML XSDDoc" will allow you:
  • To configure the generated documentation so much as you want. Thanks to our template technology, it was possible to support more than 300 template parameters (working the same as "options" of an ordinary doc-gen), which will give you an unprecedented control over the generated content!
  • To use certain features disabled in the free mode (such as the full documenting of substitution groups).
  • To enable/disable documenting of the initial, imported, included and redefined XML schemas selectively.

Once having only such a license, you will be able to run the fully-featured XML schema documentation generator both with DocFlex/XML SDK and with DocFlex/XML RE, which is a reduced free edition containing only the template interpretor / output generator. No other licenses will be required!
But this is not all. In addition to it, a commercial license for DocFlex/XML SDK will allow you to modify the XSDDoc templates themselves as much as you want. You will be able to achieve whatever was impossible to do with the template parameters only. And, of course, you could develop any template applications by your own!
Please note: By purchasing a license for this software, you not only acquire a useful tool, you will also make an important investment in its future development, the result of which you could enjoy later by yourself. Every single your purchase matters and makes a difference for us!
