Detailed Description

Semantically validates XML files using CVMappings and a ControlledVocabulary.

This is the general validator.
Specialized validators for specific file formats are derived from this class.

errors	Errors during the validation are returned in this output parameter.
warnings	Warnings during the validation are returned in this output parameter.

Returns: true if the validation was successful, false otherwise.

Exceptions

Exception::FileNotFound is thrown if the file could not be opened
