Reference Implementation Generator
The Reference Implementation Generator generates a reference
implementation automatically from information models (in particular UML
class diagrams) that graphically illustrate the structure and
relationships between information exchanged by a standard.
Use Case Editor
The Use Case Editor assists in capturing consistent and complete pictures
of how standards will be used. The generated use cases resemble document
driven use cases. It can also generate higher level catalogs of use
cases. These use cases and catalogs can be generated to correspond to the
use case as it existed at a specified point in time.
Bulk Validator
The Bulk Validator will validate combinations of XML instances against
several types of schemas: XML Schema, ISO Schematron, Schematron 1.5, and
RelaxNG. It can also perform XSLT transformations. There are three panels
in the application, listed below from top to bottom:
There is also a specialized version of the Bulk Validator to validate eStability messages, which includes the desktop validator, as well as an online validator.
- A table of schema files or XSLT transformations
- A table of XML instance files
- Validaton output

Offspring Viewer
OffspringViewer is a proof-of-concept tool for
viewing IPC-2581 files. You can view either
the XML or a graphical representation of a
Step. You can pan, zoom, and rotate the graphical
representation in 3D. The OffspringViewer comes
with one plugin that can export IPC-2581 data to
Gerber format, and another plugin that converts
Gerber files into Offspring files. You can also
write your own plugins. The source code for the
OffspringViewer and the plugins have been placed
in the public domain (see the License file for
details), so you can do anything you like with it.
