This booklet contains tutorials on the XML Schema specification, written for XML.com by experts Eric van der Vlist and Rick Jelliffe. The booklet also includes a tutorial from XML.com columnist Leigh Dodds on RDDL, a community-developed specification for documenting XML namespaces, and very much a complementary technology to W3C XML Schema. XML Schema is set to play a key role in XML-based programming environments and, as with most standards, the fact of industry consensus makes it a very powerful tool. These articles by XML.com's Schema experts will provide you with a solid introduction to both the workings and the heritage of the W3C XML Schema specification. Be sure to follow XML.com's ongoing coverage of XML Schema, as its deployment and best practices are tracked.
