It is called the ‘Template Data Schema’ (TDS) approach, and generates an XSD per message, which is defined using an openEHR template. All messages in openEHR are defined as schemas generate this way (i.e. from underlying templates and archetypes), rather than being hand-built.

An example of a bad standard would be one using excessive mathematical formulas. “Average Joe” developers simply don’t have time to decipher them and convert them to a real-world implementation.

The general theme is to describe the bare minimum necessary to produce a useful and consistent output, rather than specifying every possible implementation detail.
