    XML Syntax

    Attention is paid to the syntax of XML documents and to the difference between well-formed and valid XML documents.

    DTD's and XML Schema

    The role of Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and XML Schema's (XSD files) is discussed as well as the importance of several derived XML languages, so called XML vocabularies, is explained.

    XPath and XSLT

    Also the different ways to present XML documents is covered. In this respect the focus is on the use of eXtended Stylesheet and Transformation Language (XSLT) style sheets and the XPath language to locate and address certain parts in an XML document.

    XQuery

    The XQuery XML standard for accessing XML and relational data stores is covered and the syntax and practical applications of XQuery are explained.

    Web Services

    Also attention is paid to Web services for exchanging data between heterogeneous distributed systems and related standards such as SOAP and WSDL.

    DOM and SAX

    Finally the access of an XML document from a programming language with the DOM and SAX API is discussed. Possible follow-up courses are XSLT Stylesheet, XML Schema and XQuery.
