I'm happy to announce the release of the second generation of SIMILE
Gadget, a tool for emerging the schema and the value distribution
properties of any collection of XML data.
Gadget will work on any kind of XML data, no matter how many namespaces,
not matter if valid or not, no matter how many files and no matter how
much data.... the *only* requirement is that it needs to be well-formed.
This is normally useful in situations like:
* data understanding and exploration
* data migration/transformation
* data cleanup
* data complexity evaluation
* schema adherence understanding
* schema emergence
Unlike Gadget 1.0 which was a command line application and couldn't
scale past the RAM of your machine, Gadget 2.0 has been completely
redesigned and reworked inside out to provide a better user experience
and an improved scalability by using RAM as much as it can and then
storing indices on disk.
For more information on Gadget visit:

For a live demo of Gadget running on a few Gigabytes of XML harvested
from various repositories see

Feel free to use this mail list or the SIMILE issue tracker
http://simile.mit.edu/issues/
for questions/comments/suggestions.
Enjoy.
