Validating CCR and CCD XML Documents
I read a lot about people trying to find the XML schemas for CCR and CCD documents. So for anyone interested, they are easily available by following these links provided by Microsoft: [CCR schema] [CCD schema].
The pages open up on the HealthVault developer page, but there are links at the bottom to download the XSD file and also a link if you just want to verify some XML against it. For doing either of these actions, you will have to have a Windows Live ID or OpenID.
Microsoft is quite good to make the XML schemas for these and all other HealthVault components available. For a complete list, check out their list of "thing" types.
