Where to find the schema (.xsd file) for the Microsoft docx format

Consider a user who needs the text of a docx document without headers and footers to process in R.

If the .docx file is renamed to the .zip file and the document.xml document is parsed, this is a well-formed XML document with text.

Did Microsfot (or another developer) publish the schema for this document.xml file in the zip archive of the docx file?

The file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> - <w:document xmlns:wpc="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingCanvas" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" xmlns:m="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:wp14="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingDrawing" xmlns:wp="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/wordprocessingDrawing" xmlns:w10="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main" xmlns:w14="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordml" xmlns:wpg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingGroup" xmlns:wpi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingInk" xmlns:wne="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2006/wordml" xmlns:wps="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingShape" mc:Ignorable="w14 wp14"> - <w:body> - <w:pw:rsidR="00F447D7" w:rsidRPr="00C63308" w:rsidRDefault="00F447D7"> - <w:pPr>

From wikipedia :

The format was originally standardized by Ecma (as ECMA-376), and in later versions, ISO and IEC (as ISO / IEC 29500).

You can find various versions of XSD in ECMA-376 downloads.

document.xml matches the part of WordprocessingML schemas (look for wml.xsd).

I think this may be the location: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh643329(v=office.12).aspx

This is version 5.2. On this page you can find a link to version 5.1.
