This article by Simon Sprott begins: "XML Data Binding allows you to manipulate an XML document via a set of simple objects. The rules defining the 'shape' of the XML document are described in an XML schema. Typically, it is possible to read an XML document into an XML binding library and manipulate it programmatically via simple get and set methods. Conversely, a document can be created from an XML data binding library, and serialized as an XML document."
It then launches into a chart and example rich comparison of the various schema creation
A consortium of computer industry heavyweights, including Microsoft, IBM, Cisco Systems, Dell, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Sun have gathered together to back a specification called the Service Modeling Language, or SML. SML is designed to help IT managers keep better track of the computers and services on their networks.
IT managers can use SML to build up complex descriptions of their network and services using building blocks of XML data. Because the XML data is standardized, these blocks can be reused, and third-party developers can create
MICROSOFT, VERISIGN, AND webMethods on Wednesday introduced a security specification that works to simplify the integration of PKI (public key infrastructure) and digital certificates with XML applications.
The three companies have released the specification, dubbed XKMS (XML Key Management Specification), and will submit it to the appropriate Web standards bodies for consideration as an open Internet standard, the companies said in a statement.
Without XKMS, applications are required to understand the guts of the PKI architecture, which works
Introduction:
This package contains an implementation of the W3C XML Schema Language, a recommendation of the Worldwide Web Consortium available in three parts: XML Schema: Primer and XML Schema: Structures and XML Schema: Datatypes. We consider this implementation to be complete except for the limitations cited below. The implementation has been extensively tested and known problem areas are set out below. In this document we also discuss our interpretation of the specifications where it seems to us particularly likely that others might arrive at a
W3C XML Schema is one to specify the structure of and constraints on XML documents. As usage of W3C XML Schema has grown, certain usage patterns have become common and this article, the first in a series, will tackle various aspects of the creation and usage of W3C XML Schema. This article will focus on techniques for building schemas which are flexible and which allow for change in underlying data, the schema, or both in a modular manner.
Designing schemas that support data evolution is beneficial in situations where the structure of XML instances
