           README FILE FOR DATATYPE INTERFACES FOR RELAX NG
======================================================================



RELAX NG supports multiple datatype vocabularies. To achive this, an
interface between datatype vocabularies and schema processors is 
necessary. This interface is intended to be a standard Java interface
for this purpose.

If you are planning to implement a datatype library, A sample datatype
library implementation by James Clark is available at [1], which
comes with documentation and source code.

If you are planning to implement a schema processor, then don't forget
to check out org.relaxng.datatype.helpers.DatatypeLibraryLoader, as 
this allows you to dynamically locate datatype implementations.
