How to create a xml device description file (ZDDX)?

I am currently working on the creation of device description files.
Are there any instructions about this topic? Unfortunately I have not found any.
I noticed that the existing files are very heterogeneous. For example, there seem different opinions on how to name the files and whether to use decimal or hex values.
And is there someone who is responsible for the maintainance?

The name does not really matter until it is unique. The database indexer is scanning all XML file anyway.
Start with pressing Create ZDDX in the EUI. Then fill it like other files

Thank you for the Info.
You mean the xsd schema z-wave_v2.xsd.
I do not yet know what this is and what you can do with it. But I will deal with it.

Sorry, xsd is the scheme. xslt is the stylesheet and we don't use it here.

XSD is used to validate the XML agains a scheme. It is hard to understand out of it how to fill the file, but I suppose there should be visual editors using XSD to assist filling the XML file
