Step 1: does your define.xml validate against the XML-Schema v.2.0? See the CDISC publication “XML Schema Validation for Define.xml White Paper” which essentially also applies to define.xml 2.0. See: XML Schema Validation for Define.xml White Paper | CDISC
You can test this easily using any XML editor that supports XML-Schema validation .
From the error message, it looks however that there is something wrong with one or more of your “def:Origin” elements. Remark that in v.2.0 this is an XML element whereas it was an attribute in v.1.0.
With best regards,

Check your origins . Could be a null, missing or empty XML tag for it. Joseph is correct about the element vs attribute.
Thank you Michael!
