    XML Schema Intro

    XML Schema is used to define XML vocabulaires that define the structure, element names and contents of XML documents.

    Design Models

    Several XML Schema design models are discussed like Russian Doll, Salami Slice and Venetian Blind. Attention is given to declaring simple and complex elements and types and imposing constraints on the content of elements.

    Simple Types

    Also the creation of user defined simple data types using facets and regular expressions is among the subjects discussed. Namespaces are an important part in the XML Schema specification and is given a lot of attention.

    Complex Types

    Also the creation of complex derived data types and the difference between derivation by restriction and derivation by extension are discussed.

    Import en Include

    Further attention is paid to modularization of schemas and the usage of the include and import mechanisms.

    Advanced Topics

    Finally some advanced topics like Open Content Models and the XML Schema handling of keys and references and the removing of redundancy by identity constraints are addressed.
