Hi
I have started working with the FIXML dtd. I ran the DTD through the IBM XML4J Parser ( See www.alphaworks.ibm.com ) and it reported some errors/warnings. One seemed to be a typo and the others where replications within the OR tests for element constructs.
What is the current version of the DTD. The one that I have has a size of 46941 bytes.
I have fixed the errors in the DTD that I have. The diff is as follows:

I am still keen to participate in the development of the standard. After the London Forum discussions and the email sent to the working group I have yet to hear anything.

The FIXML working group is still active. Most of our discussions have been held via email. I’ll ensure your are added to my email list. We are currently working on pilot applications based on the DTDs currently available on http://www2.innovision.com/xmlprotocols/fixml/fixmlmaindoc/fixmlmain.html.
The vendor Innovision helped with the DTD development and is hosting them for us.
There is actually not one DTD but nine separate DTDs that need to be downloaded separately. The main DTD is called fixmlmain.dtd. This is the DTD that your XML message would reference with the following statement:
<?xml version=‘1.0’?><!DOCTYPE FIXML SYSTEM ‘fixmlmain.dtd’>
This DTD contains Entity references to the other DTDs. These references act like #include(s) for a C preprocessor.
When loading the DTD, the parser will probably display some warning messages like:
Base.dtd: 85, 45: Warning: Entity name, "EmptyListStatusRequest", already define
d. This declaration will be ignored.
This warning can be ignored for right now. It may not be generated with every type of parser.
The current version of the IBM parser 2.0 is available for download from www.alphaworks.ibm.com. It is much faster then previous versions.

Thanks for this. Looks like the DTD I was using was very old. There were no external SYSTEM references at all.
I will keep you posted on how I get on.

HI ALL,
I AM NEW TO FIX AND I HAVE DOWNLOADED ALL THE THREE DOCUMENTS RELATED TO FIX SPECIFICATION FROM "FIXPROTOCOL.COM" SITE. NOW I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER FIX XML DTD IS AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD OR NOT ? IF YES FROM WHERE?
PLEASE REPLY.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

The FIXML DTDs are currently available on the FIX web-site www.fixprotocol.org under the FIXML Working Group section.
http://www.fixprotocol.org/cgi-bin/rbox/Workgroup.cgi?id=928951581&menu=928951581

Are the DTDs, which are available, of FINAL version?
From where I can get the sample FIXML file.
Are we still working with DTDs???
For system to system messaging is not the
XML Schema grammar with namespaces
more powerful, flexible and appropriate?
See progress accomplished by the
W3 XML Schema Working Group.

There is currently only limited schema support and the general rule of thumb is to stick to what is recommended by the W3C (ie DTDs). The XML Schema work was recently published in May and it looks to have the potential of becoming a recomendation as it is based on the work of the previous schema proposals ( XML-Data,SOX, DCD).
DTDs inherent lack of data typing was always an issue for us. We choose to include data type information as attributes in the FIXML DTDs for reference that could only be validated at the application level.
Regarding the future state of FIXML, I see nothing wrong with experimenting with the DTDs that we have today as we view FIXML as an evolutionary process. In either case, we’re still taking about XML and as long as you understand the core concepts the jump to schemas won’t be that great.
We decided to only include limited support of FIXML in the next version of FIX because we plan on taking advantage of schemas. I believe the next steps are to take some clues from our collegues at FpML who used a tool to allow for easy migration to any of the various schema proposals. This is the path we will probably take as well by using standard notation to enable the translation to schemas when they are on more solid footing.
