These files, along with the entire RDN site, were transferred from
UKOLN to Intute some time ago. However, being the preservation-aware
organisation that we are, I can supply the necessary files from our
archives.
I've attached a zip containing the schema document (and, I hope, its
dependencies) to this message for convenience, but clearly it would be
good if Intute could restore the files under the 'rdn.ac.uk' domain.
I'm sure Intute staff monitor this list - if UKOLN can help supply
missing files then please do not hesitate to contact me.
