SchemaScope: a System for Inferring and Cleaning XML Schemas

Summary: SchemaScope infers DTDs and XML Schemas from XML corpora, with visualization, cleaning, and refinement tools for inferred or existing schemas. It shows versatile use cases, enabling end-to-end schema derivation, repair, and management for XML workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
