Abstract: A schema browsing system is described herein that allows a user to quickly consume information about one or more XML schema elements of a schema set that the user is interested in and to visualize relationships of other elements to the elements of interest, irrespective of how the elements are physically stored and subdivided in XSD or other schema files. The system displays elements selected by the user and excludes portions of the schema set that are not related to the displayed elements. The system displays the selected elements along with a visual indication of the relationships between the selected elements. By repeating the process of selecting elements, the user can use the system to build up a display that includes only those elements and relationships in which the user is interested.

Abstract: A system and process for preprocessing print production orders is described. A work order is received by a work order dispatcher and forwarded to a batching system. The batching system combines the work order with other work orders having similar characteristics. The combined work orders are output as a resultant plate. Also, batching may be performed to combine work orders for vendors. Through determination and evaluation of the various characteristics of the work orders, the batching process is automated, thereby minimizing the need to operator intervention.
