XSD problem - trying to generate xsd from xml - xsd

I am trying to generate a schema from this xml file:
http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?rettype=xml&retmode=xml&db=nucleotide&id=AB573763
I store it as s.xml and then tried:
xsd s.xml
It just does not finish it - seems to be stuck in an endless loop or something. What other options do I have to generate the xsd or can you see something wrong?
Thanks.

A schema generated from a single instance document is never going to be as high quality as one created from a schema as you can be almost certain that the generated schema will have distinct limitations.
I would suggest that you download the schema from the NIH (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/dtd/NCBI_Seqset.dtd as #Tuomas Hietanen showed) and use a tool such as James Clark's Trang to generate a schema. Your resulting schema is likely to be of higher quality. If you have a copy of Oxygen you can simply use that as Trang is built-in.

Are there any XSD files to validate XML for the https://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/ namespace?

In the intelliJ suite, xsd validation is performed automatically and you get an error if a given schema is not found. I tried to find an xsd file for the w3c widgets namespace but i couldn't.
If there is no such thing, what is the best practice here? Just add a rule to each file to ignore the error? (that is not a good one imo)
Generate a schema automatically from the file? (but if i add something i need to regenerate it?)

Validate BizTalk Schema in Visual Studio - "Custom component invocation failed"

Well, that error message doesn't help at all. I have a flat file schema that I cannot get working.
The XML is valid, but BizTalk can't work with it. Is there a way to enable verbose error logging when calling Validate Schema? Is there a better tool for validating/testing BizTalk schemas than Visual Studio?
I'm new to BizTalk and I'm stumped.
It sounds like something is wrong in your call to validate the schema. By any chance, did you forget to set the Input Instance Filename property?
There were two problems: Schemas built using the flat file wizard inexplicably default to Xml source. So it didn't know it wasn't dealing with .txt. Plus I had it set to expect 0 records.
Hi I had faced the same problem.
I had build a tool to convert TDS1 format schema to flat file schema. The xml schema was correct but it was not getting validated. Then i compared with my existing flat file schema and i found that child delimiter type was wrong. My tool was creating flat file schema with delimiter type set to hex for all the record info.
But ; is a character and not hex.
original record info attribute: child_delimiter_type="hex"
Changed record info attribute: child_delimiter_type="char"
So please check your delimiter type and other record info attributes as well.
Hope this will help....

Using JIBx to generate XSD from binding.xml

Is there a way to generate an XSD document automatically from the binding.xml used by JIBx? This is mainly to allow offline validation of the XML documents will be unmarshalled eventually.
I checked the JIBx homepage, it mentioned a tool called Schema Generator:
http://jibx.sourceforge.net/jibxtools/schema-example.html
but looks like the jibx-genschema.jar file is no longer part of the package anymore, as such I was wondering if there is any alternative
Thanks!
Here is the link to the original package.
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/codehaus/xfire/jibx/genschema/jibx-genschema.jar
Schema generator main class is org.jibx.binding.Compile. It is available in jibx-bind.jar.
This jar can be added to your project with maven dependency org.jibx:jibx-bind:1.2.3 (for example).
The SchemaGen tool has been included in the jibx-tools.jar file for some time. See the JiBX Binding Generator page for instructions on running tools in the jar, just substitute the target class org.jibx.schema.generator.SchemaGen to run the schema generator.

XSD TO XML Conversion

I want to write a java program, Input - XSD File I need to retreive all the element name from the xsd and need to create an xml file as an output with the retreived element name. If anyone of you have the sample code, please share it.
Thanks
You are not rephrasing your question,but still i found some suggestions for you.See if its useful for you.Please check the following link...
http://www.narendranaidu.com/2010/04/xsd-to-xml-and-vice-versa.html
Alright use JAXME or XSOM to parse your schema and use DOM or JDOM to write the element names to new xml
if you want to create a sample XML from schema ..you can use XMLspear tool to do that.

XSD-XSD Mapping

I have two XSD files (source and target)... on what basis should I map these two files to get an XSLT? I know how MapForce helps in mapping but I worked with the sample project ..Now I wanted to know on what basis should I map these file that my client sent me..
I don't think there could be any general way to generate an XSLT given two XSD (if this is what your are after). The XSDs describe the structure of the XML files, but they don't say anything about what is the data they contain (their semantics if you will).
E.g.
<Customer>
<Name>ACME</Name>
<Address>9 Main Street, Anytown, USA</Address>
</Customer>
and
<Customer Name="ACME" City="Anytown" Country="USA" Address="9 Main Street"/>
are two XML describing more or less the same thing - but there is no way to know reading their XSD that the <Address> element in one correspond to three different attributes Address, City and Country in the other.
I am afraid you have to create the XSLT manually - and my suggestion would be to start from sample XML files, not the XSDs - much easier.
