What is a schema for?


  • To get the best out of XML, you need two kinds of :
    • document type declaration: elements, attributes, entities, notations (syntactic constraints)
    • document type definition: usage and meaning constraints on the foregoing
  • Published specifications (if you can find them) for XML DTDs usually combine the two, hence they lack modularity
