Modeling Business Objects with XML Schema

Description:

XML Schema is the new language standard from the W3C and the new foundation for defining data in Web-based systems. There is a wealth of information available about Schemas but very little understanding of how to use this highly formal specification for creating documents. Grasping the power of Schemas means going back to the basics of documents themselves, and the semantic rules, or grammars, that define them. Written for schema designers, system architects, programmers, and document authors, Modeling Business Objects with XML Schema guides you through understanding Schemas from the basic concepts, type systems, type derivation, inheritance, namespace handling, through advanced concepts in schema design.

描述：
XML Schema是W3C的新語言標準，也是定義Web系統中的數據的新基礎。有關Schema的信息非常豐富，但對於如何使用這個高度正式的規範來創建文檔的理解卻很少。理解Schema的威力意味著回到文檔本身的基礎，以及定義它們的語義規則或語法。《使用XML Schema建模業務對象》針對Schema設計師、系統架構師、程序員和文檔作者，從基本概念、類型系統、類型推導、繼承、命名空間處理，到Schema設計的高級概念，指導您理解Schema。
