Or do have to create the XSD > annotations for standard GML types myself? I assume you have found and read the WFS documentation [1]? In order to create annotated schemas for the WFS, you usually start with the original (unannotated) application schema. Unfortunately, the deegree 2 WFS is not capable of handling any (annotated) generic schema out-of-the-box, because it only supports a certain subset of what's possible in GML/XML schema. In order to get an overview the GML constructs that the deegree 2 WFS understands, please refer to "Philosopher" example [2]. It contains almost any construct that is supported (with the exception of feature type hierarchies which are also supported). The mentioned "gml:TimePeriodType" is actually one thing that is not supported natively by the WFS feature model. To work around this, there's the possibility to hook XSLT transformations into the pre-/postprocessing of WFS requests which allows to map any kind of GML/XML type to an "internal" GML application schema that is based on the supported types. If you got trouble to perform the mapping, feel free to send (preferrably short snippets of) your application schema to the list.

Hi Peter,
I packaged a (slightly customized) SchemaAnnotator class and a corresponding xsl script for downloading [1]. We used it successfully to annotate a (quite complex) real world GML application schema (the dutch IMRO2008 standard). After annotating, we used the DDLGenerator to extract CREATE statements for the relational model. You still won't be able to use it out-of-the box, as it requires that the original schema is simplified first to match the possibilities of deegree's feature model (which we did by applying XSL-scripts as well). Also you're missing the mapping files which provide abbreviations for feature and property names (to have shorter table/column names). Nevertheless, I hope it gives you an impression how the annotation process works and that you can use it to derive your own xsl scripts. Feel free to ask if you need more explanations. Best regards, Markus [1] http://web.lat-lon.de/~schneider/imro2008-annotator.zip Chandler, Peter - 0443 - MITLL wrote: > "P.S.: Did you have any success with the SchemaAnnotator?" > > No. If I can get it to work for my application schemas.
