Principles of XML Schemas
- define shared markup vocabularies and allow machines to carry out rules
made by people
- provide a means for defining the structure, content and semantics of
XML documents
- provide better integration with XML Namespaces -> inheritance (reuse
with overriding)
- identify parts of a document where a schema may apply or which parts of
a document may be validated
- XML Schemas are XML documents themselves, they may be managed by XML
authoring tools
