You can transform an XML schema into a logical data model. The
transformed XML schema consists of one or more XML schema files.
The following steps describe a typical scenario:
- Use a logical data model for data modeling, including reverse engineering
from existing databases.
- Analyze the logical data model to ensure that it is valid and conforms
to enterprise standards.
Note: You should always analyze your logical data
model to ensure that it is valid before you transform it. If you transform
an invalid model, unpredictable results can occur.
- Transform the logical data model into an XML schema.
- Modify and finalize the XML schema for use in defining the structure of
XML documents or messages.
