I am curious about what are considered best practices when it comes to distributing XML schemas.

In my particular situation, I have a webservice which accepts an XML file that must conform to an XSD that I have defined. I am thinking of distributing the XSD to clients via a complimentary webservice that can be invoked at any time.

Please share any ideas or ways that you have distributed XSD’s.

    Take a look at http://schemas.opengis.net:

    • Make sure your schemas are valid like angel’s feathers.
    • Make your schemas accessible via web. HTTP first of all. No “please accept this license first” disclaimer.
    • Make sure your schemas use only relative URLs referring to one another.
    • Assemble a downloadable package (ZIP) with your schemas.

    Many people will want to access your schemas online. Some will want to put your schemas into their software – to be able to validate against these schemas offline/without depending on your server.
