The following repositories contain the XMLSchema definition and a sample dataset for testing the code.
| Repository | Purpose |
|---|---|
| vtmedia-schema | Schema and XML validation for media data |
| mediadata | A large dataset of sample media/movie data |
Neither of these are required for module operation, but they both contain sample data and documentation on how to build your own files.
