XML Schema Elucidated Jeff Lowery 2002 | 350 pages ISBN: |
DESCRIPTION
The XML Schema standard describes a powerful and expressive grammar for defining hierarchical data structures. XML Schema Elucidated quickly teaches you the core essentials so that you can begin to apply XML Schemas in your own prototypes and architectures.
The first part of the book covers the mechanics of XML Schema - what it is, what it does, and how to use it. Part II will cover various techniques for processing and validating XML documents. The third part of this text covers larger concerns regarding the sharing of schema information, decoupling data models from processing models, and how schemas fit naturally in a distributed architecture.
