XML chain files validation through XML Schema

[Canzian]

Hi,
I have created an XML schema (XSD) from the depletion chains structure documented in link. This schema can be used to detect structural and type errors before any data is extracted from the XML chain files.

I have successfully tested the schema against OpenMC's depletion chains provided at link The validation process requires the xmlschema package, and the schema is based on XSD 1.0.

Would there be any interest in having such a schema to ensure that the chains produced by OpenMC comply with it?

I would like to enhance the schema to better suit OpenMC requirements, so any feedback on its structure or constraints would be highly appreciated.
