Up     Scalable Vector Graphics     XML     Term     Updated
The W3C has formed a working group to combine the best ideas from the VML proposal and other graphic proposals submitted to the W3C (such as DrawML and PGML) into the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format for the interchange and delivery of vector graphics.
Up     schema     XML     Term     Updated
A formal specification of element names that indicates which elements are allowed in an XML document, and in which combinations. A schema is functionally equivalent to a DTD, but is written in XML; a schema also provides for extended functionality such as data typing, inheritance, and presentation rules.

While XML 1.0 supplies a mechanism, the Document Type Definition (DTD), for declaring constraints on the use of markup, automated processing of XML documents requires more rigorous and comprehensive facilities in this area. Requirements are for constraints on how the component parts of an application fit togther, the document structure, attributes, datatyping, and so on. The W3C XML Schema Working Group is addressing means for defining the structure, content and semantics of XML documents.

In Internet Explorer 5, Microsoft is providing a release of XML Schema as a technology preview that may be useful for developers interested in building prototypes and gaining experience with schema. This technology preview is based on the XML-Data note submitted to the W3C. XML Schema, as implemented in this technology preview, can be thought of as the subset of the XML-Data submission that corresponds to the feature set proposed for Document Content Description (DCD) . Microsoft is actively involved in defining the emerging W3C XML schema standard and will track this effort. Developers should note that the version of XML Schema released with Internet Explorer 5 is subject to change.

While XML is the meta-language that defines the rules for defining tag languages, a schema is a formal specification of the grammar for one tag language. A schema is useful for validating the document content—to determine whether a document is a valid instance of the grammar expressed by that schema—and for describing your grammar for use by others.

[See Software: SGML/XML parsers]
The international standard for defining descriptions of structure and content of electronic documents. XML is a subset of SGML designed to deliver SGML-type information over the Web.
What is the difference between SGML and XML?The Standard Generalized Markup Language, or SGML (ISO 8879), is the international standard for defining descriptions of structure and content in electronic documents. XML is a simplified version of SGML; XML was designed to maintain the most useful parts of SGML. While SGML requires that structured documents reference a document type definition (DTD) to be valid, XML allows for "well-formed" data and can be delivered without a DTD. XML was designed so that SGML can be delivered -- as XML -- over the Web.
