req=context.createSubRequest("active:validateSchematron");
req.addArgument("operand", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
req.addArgument("operator", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
result=context.issueSubRequest(req);

Purpose

The validateSchematron accessor is used to validate the operand against a Schematron schema operator document. Schematron is an XPath based schema language developed by Rick Jelliffe. You can find out more here

A document can be validated several times in a processing pipeline and against different or even dynamically generated schema. Validation can be the basis for pipeline branches.

validateSchematron returns a canonical boolean document <b>t</b> true, or <b>f</b> false.
