Mapping YANG to Document Schema Definition Languages and Validating NETCONF Content

Overview

RFC 6110, “Mapping YANG to Document Schema Definition Languages and Validating NETCONF Content”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2011 by L. Lhotka. It has since been updated by RFC 7952. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies the mapping rules for translating YANG data models into Document Schema Definition Languages (DSDL), a coordinated set of XML schema languages standardized as ISO/IEC 19757. The following DSDL schema languages are addressed by the mapping: Regular Language for XML Next Generation (RELAX NG), Schematron, and Schematron and Document Schema Renaming Language (DSRL). The mapping takes one or more YANG modules and produces a set of DSDL schemas for a selected target document type -- datastore content, Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) messages, etc. Procedures for schema-based validation of such documents are also discussed. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
