XSD: Namespaces
So, to (hopefully) round out my series on Schemas, here is a short posting on namespaces . . .
XSD: DataTypes and Validations
OK, so now we have a simple XSD and have added a little structure, lets look at getting started with data types and validations within XSDs . . .
XSD: Adding Attributes and other Structures
My last posting showed a very simple starting point for a schema. In this one I look at some of the other structural elements required to create schemas . . .
Writing your first XSD (XML Schema)
One of the biggest benefits of XML is the ability to validate not only the structure of your documents, but also (within limits), the data within your elements and attributes. The most common way of describing both the structure and data validations are XML Schemas (XSDs).
This article is a beginners guide (from a beginner, to other beginners) on writing simple XSDs. If you're new to them, check it out. If you're more experienced, please use the "add comments" link at the bottom to point out all of the woeful simplifications and misunderstandings I've probably introduced :-> . . .
