About the schemas: for finalized Level 3 Packages, libSBML and JSBML provide built-in validation, and the use of a schema is unnecessary. For not-yet-finalized Packages and applications not using libSBML or JSBML, the basic RELAX NG schemas enable syntactic validation using an RNG schema processor. A separate page provides more information about the use of schemas.
The Required Elements package has been retired, due to decreased demand. The Spatial package originally used this package as a prerequisite, but it was eventually determined that the information added was not necessary for tools reading Spatial documents.
