Introduction to Schemas
This manuscript is an abridged version of a chapter from the
Wrox Press book Professional XML. Chapter 7 of
Professional XML covers Namespaces and Schemas. Namespaces help XML
vocabulary designers to break complex problems into smaller pieces
and mix multiple vocabularies as needed to fully describe a problem
in a single XML document. Schemas permit vocabulary designers to
create a more precise definition of the vocabulary than is possible
with DTDs, and do so using XML syntax.
Professional XML is a broad compendium that investigates and
describes how the total XML concept will work for programmers. It's
the next edition of the popular XML Applications (Wrox 1998).
The focus of Professional XML is on real-world applications that
use XML as an enabling technology. It presents good design
techniques, and shows how to interface XML-enabled applications
with Web applications and database systems. It explores the
frontiers of XML and previews some nascent technologies. Whether
your requirements are oriented toward data exchange or visual
styling, this book will cover all the relevant techniques in the
XML community.
Professional XML is for anyone who wants to use XML to build
applications and systems. Web site developers can learn techniques
to take their sites to the next level of sophistication. Managers,
designers, and software architects can learn where XML fits into
their systems and how to use it to solve problems in application
integration. For further details about the book, and other books in
our range, visit the Wrox Press Web Site.
