[edit] XML Schema?

This article states that it is possible to drop an XML schema document onto Interface Builder to create a Core Data controller. I have found no evidence that this is actually possible. I would be very interested in any automated method for converting an XML schema into a core data model. Is it, in fact, possible to do this?

The original statement: Interface Builder (IB) will even automatically build this format file for you given self-describing data such as an XML Schema.

I believe this was referring to IB's ability to create a GUI for an entity in a data model. If not, please correct my edits.

[edit] EOF best approach?

Maury's kind of gone off into the weeds here. Describing CoreData in terms of EOF will lead to nothing but confusion.

[edit] Hierarchical?

I changed a number of items on this page from 'hierarchical' to 'relational', as it seems CD is best suited to the relational model. While it can be stored in an XML file, that XML file does not really, IMO, represent a hierarchy, nor is the serialization necessarily in text format. If I misunderstood, feel free to change it back.
