Thanks Aleix.
I did have a go at the YouTube video.
I confess that I am not knowledgeable enough to appreciate the “magic”. 🙂

I am not concerned with how it is done, more interested in the outcome, i.e., a non-xml rendition of the Data Dictionary.

I am a consumer of the Data Dictionary and not the creator. Some other team in my organisation has some means of rendering an XSD into Excel (not as entities and attributes, but as message fragments and their structures (e.g., each complexType and its properties).

So our interest is in getting the XSD-s in separate files.

My own remit is to build a “Business Data Model” (from the FpML message data model). But that is nothing to do with FpML, but more to do with understanding the business itself, and the current physical structures (dbms schema) – which provide the data to emit the relevant FpML messages.

However, thank you for your response.

Regards. – Madani BASHA

Further clarifying the need stated in my post of yesterday.

The need is to have an entire dictionary in a single file (xml or Excel) to avoid the “one-data-element-at-a-time” process of gathering the meaning of data elements.

Looking forward to the forum members’ advice, suggestion or help. Thanks. – Madani
