| Definition Documents
|
The subset of documents in a model that describes the schemas and rules that govern the structure and content of the model’s documents. The SML-IF specification defines two kinds of definition documents - XML Schema documents that conform to SML’s profile of XML Schema, and rule documents that conform to SML’s profile of Schematron.

| Query API
|
The query API provides a web service interface to the data store(s). Its binding will be constructed in a manner analogous to the Data Collection adapters where extensions can be created to implement any desired query mechanism without requiring dependence on the type or location of the underlying data store.
