The XML that the repository provides will be validated automatically during the DRIVER repository registration process and the DRIVER harvesting process. A DRIVER repository must provide a valid XML according to all XML schemas used (OAI-PMH, DIDL, oai-dc etc)
Validation can be tested using an XML validator (for example, from altova. www.altova.com ) by saving the repository output as an xml document and opening it in the validator.
For a validator to validate an XML document, inside the document the xsi:schemaLocation(s) must be used.

For other schemas use the same logic; keep the metadata independent of the OAI-PMH protocol.
