public interface SchemaGenerator
extends NamedModule, Capabilities

Interface of a SchemaGenerator module.

Schema Generator is the last module in the inference process. Its task is to transform the simplified grammar (still a list of rules) into a textual schema representation. Schema may be in any format or language, such as DTD or XSD. After the schema is created, it is sent to the Runner module via the callback.
