Schematron resources

At the beginning of the week I needed to create a Schematron sample in a hurry. I had done it before, a long time ago, on another machine. It did not help that http://www.schematron.com was, and still is, down. This article is a record of the resources I found at the time and later.

First https://code.google.com/p/schematron/ seems to be the place to get an implementation of ISO Schematron. This comes as a set of XSLT files. The wiki suggests a number of options for running these, which led me to the excellent tutorial at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/schematron/.

 In a hurry and not wanting to set up a batch file  I remembered that Kernow has a Schematron option. Sadly I could not find any documentation for this and the Web start option seems to have become a victim of enhanced security policies.

Another useful tutorial, with example business logic from the Ark, is data2type schematron introduction

XML Database Schematron support

• eXistDb :uses Jing, which does not support the ISO version.
• BaseX there are a couple of embedded uses in github projects.
• Zorba nothing yet.
• MarkLogic has  ML-Schematron.

 Other tools

• XProc has validate-with-schematron.
• quixschematron has streaming support.
• http://code.google.com/p/phloc-schematron/ Apache Licence
• http://www.probatron.org/ is another implementation with Java and .Net support.

It seems to me it would be nice to have a  http://expath.org/ module that wrapped up the Schematron functionality and made it easy to install. Something like ML-Schematron that could run in BaseX or ExistDb.

I tried to install the 290e driver on the T42 with lubuntu. Produced the error:

This suggests  http://pastebin.com/48W5Da20 that  Building a vanilla kernel 
is the way to go, but that looks to much for now.

Android Star s5: installing debian and java

Following my adventures with the Raspberry Pi, I decided it was time for a new phone. I went for:

Star One S5 5.0 inch (1280*720) HD capacitive 720P screen Android 4.2 OS 3G Smart Phone MTK6589 1.2GHz Quad Core 1G RAM 8G ROM 12MP back camera.

Looking good so far:

• Flashed and rooted with  http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-s5-9/
• Installed debian with Linux deploy
• Java with Linux ARM v6/v7 Soft Float ABI jdk-7u21-linux-arm-sfp.tar.gz

 Here is the result running BaseX via vnc:
