+%global _description %{expand:
+The xmlschema library is an implementation of XML Schema for Python.
+
+This library arises from the needs of a solid Python layer for processing XML
+Schema based files for MaX (Materials design at the Exascale) European project.
+A significant problem is the encoding and the decoding of the XML data files
+produced by different simulation software. Another important requirement is
+the XML data validation, in order to put the produced data under control.
+The lack of a suitable alternative for Python in the schema-based decoding
+of XML data has led to build this library. Obviously this library can be
+useful for other cases related to XML Schema based processing, not only for
+the original scope.}
