Currently,
the XML backend for {{#var:PrF}} is still under development.
The intent is to eventually make this the default backend for {{#var:PrF}},
once it has become stable and supports the full feature set.

You can
[[PrF_UG_projects_creating_a_project|create]]
a new XML project by selecting File | Create Project and then selecting Experimental XML File in the Create New Project dialog:

<div>[[Image:PrF_UG_files_xml_create.png|files_xml_create]]</div>

You can also
[[PrF_UG_projects_convert_project|convert]]
an existing project to XML by selecting File | Convert Project and then selecting Experimental XML File in the Convert Project dialog box.

Note: The XML backend uses its own Schema and will not let you import an arbitrary XML file into {{#var:Pr}}.

The first time you save an XML project, {{#var:Pr}} creates the following files:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
a .pprj file,
which contains {{#var:Pr}}-specific UI information


<li>
a .xml file,
which contains XML-encoded ontology information for the knowledge base\

</ul>

{{#var:PrF}} uses a single XML Schema file that is optimized to work with the {{#var:Pr}} model.
All information in the knowledge base is treated as "instances".
The format of these instances,
described in the Schema file,
is designed to be simple,
readable,
and easily processible by XSLT in straightforward ways.
The Schema is available at:

[[PrF_UG_|http://protege.stanford.edu/xml/schema/protege.xsd]]

Feedback on the Schema is strongly solicited.
The schema should not be considered fixed at this point and users should not rely on this backend functioning correctly or upon the schema remaining fixed from build to build.
We do encourage you to try it out and report any problems that you see.

Note: This backend cannot be used to generate XML Schema files.
For example,
it does not turn classes in {{#var:PrF}} into XML Schema complex types.
An export mechanism that does this may eventually be developed separately.
