[DDI-users] Is there any development kit to parse DDI

[Wendy Thomas]

There are some tools under development as well as one (commercial) that is 
available now that supports some, but not features of DDI 3.

We use Colectica in our training classes and you can look at 
http://www.ddialliance.org/resources/tools under Software to see what else 
is available.

You can validate an XML instance to the DDI schema with most XML editiing 
software. As long as you have associated the DDI schemas in the header you 
should be able to use the validation features of the software. If you need 
assistance with this, please contact me directly.
