        Subject:        XSD to ER Diagram





Please excuse me if this query does not directly concern specific XSD
issues but I hope it is related closely enough to XSD development to be
worthy of the group's learned opinion.

We are using XSD to define an XML file format for data interchange. As
such the schema is not directly related to a specific system or
database. The schema relies heavily on key-keyref relationships to
describe the relational structure of the data model. It has proven very
useful throughout development to present the schema as an
Entity-Relationship Diagram but deriving an ER Diagram directly from the
XSD has been problematic.

Are there any tools available which will automatically generate an ER
Diagram from XSD?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Regards,
David Banbury
