Dear developer,
Which version of IATI are you using? I am using xmllint (both under W10 and CentOS) and that works without any problems. Make sure you have all XSD files downloaded:

Core Schema¶

The current suite IATI XML schemas consists of the following components:
iati-organisations-schema.xsd - XML schema for describing an organisation involved in any stage development cooperation (funding, implementing etc.).
iati-activities-schema.xsd - XML Schema for describing the details of individual development cooperation activities/projects.

Supplementary Schema

In addition to the Organisation and Activity. core terms are described in the following:
iati-common.xsd - A supplementary schema with common IATI markup. Must be in the same directory as the Organisation and Activity schema.
xml.xsd - A supplementary schema that must be in the same directory as the Organisation and Activity schema.

Metadata Schema

The Registry Record provides a common format for the reporting of metadata to the IATI Registry.

Please note: Usage of this schema is not mandatory.
iati-registry-record-schema.xsd - An application-specific extension schema for importing documents into the IATI registry

Some tools have problems with the fact that the XSD is split over multiple files.

BTW: would you please be so kind to use your real name?

Hi Francesco,
I have downloaded all 5 XSD files in one directory. XMLLINT under Linux works fine.

Installing XMLLINT under W10 is also possible, but is a bit tricky.
