Howdy,
I have been studying XML and believe the following to summarize the
relationship between XML and XML Schemas. Please correct/extend these
assumptions if I am off-base.
############
1. XML is a syntactical standard for a tagging language.
2. XML Schemas are a tagging standard for insuring compliance of a
given XML tag-set to a user-defined tag-set.
3. In general, an API loads a schema for comparison against an XML
document.
############
So Schema writing is about defining compliance rules. Some documents
may be best-effort while others will require stricter conformance.
That pretty much size it up?
So what is the most standards-compliant Schema language at the
moment?
-Thanks in advance!
