What you'll learn
This course gives the student who knows the fundamentals of XML a
detailed introduction to the XML Schema standard for defining document
type information. The first module introduces the new XML Schema
recommendation. Students review the shortcomings of the DTD for
expressing type information, and learn how to use XML Schema to create
strict document models. Schema data types and structures are studied,
allowing precise grammar and validation rules to be defined for document
content. A second module offers intermediate-to-advanced instruction in
effective use of the new XML Schema recommendation. Students build
skills in use of keys and key references to associate elements based on
key fields; cover complex-type extension; use of multiple namespaces and
schema; and finally a chapter in best-practices in schema design.
