[DDI-users] DDI schema 2.1 (Winona Salesky)

Hi, Winona.
To cut a long story short, the DDI schema(s) on our site, irrespective
of version, are known to contain errors. We have fixed some as we found
them, but there may be others that we are not aware of.
Therefore it is best to continue to use the DTDs (which are correct) for
document creation and validation.
Good luck, and let me know if you have questions.
Sanda.

Hi,

Is anybody using the DDI schema 2.1? We are moving our files over from
DTD
to schema and I have run into a very odd validation error. In our
variable
description we frequently use <valrng>, according to the example in the
tag
library we are using this correctly:

 

<valrng><range min="1" max="3" /></valrng>

 

However, the above example doesn't validate, because <range> and <item>
are
both mandatory tags in <valrng>. In order to make the above validate I
would
need to include an <item> tag:

 

<valrng><range min="1" max="3" /><item VALUE="1"/></valrng>
 
This second example validates just fine, but seems redundant, what is
the
point of having a range if you need to specify the individual values. Is
this a mistake in the schema? Am I misusing these tags?
 
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
