Schematron is a rule-based XML schema language, offering flexibility and power that W3C XML schema, RELAX NG, and DTDs simply can''t match.
You need Schematron and can''t settle for other languages if you have to check rules that go beyond checking the document structures (i.e., checking that an element bar is included in element foo) and their datatypes. Schematron is the right tool for checking conditions such as "startDate is earlier than or equal to endDate."
Schematron is also the right tool to use if you have to raise user-friendly error messages rather than depend on error messages that are generated by a schema processor and that are often obscure.Schematron builds on XPath. You will need to understand XPath to to get the most from Schematron.

If you need to create or use formal descriptions of XML vocabularies, the W3C''s XML Schema offers a powerful set of tools for defining acceptable document structures and content. An alternative to DTDs as the way to describe and validate data in an XML environment, XML Schema enables developers to create precise descriptions with a richer set of datatypes?such as booleans, numbers, currencies, dates and times?that are essential for today?s applications.Schemas are powerful, but that power comes with substantial complexity. This concise book explains the ins and outs of XML Schema, including design choices, best practices, and limitations. Particularly valuable are discussions of how the type structures fit with existing database and object-oriented program contexts. With XML Schema, you can define acceptable content models and annotate those models with additional type information, making them more readily bound to programs and objects. Schemas combine the easy interchange of text-based XML with the more stringent requirements of data exchange, and make it easier to validate documents based on namespaces.You?ll find plenty of examples in this book that demonstrate the details necessary for precise vocabulary definitions. Topics include:
Foundations of XML Schema syntaxFlat, "russian-doll", and other schema approachesWorking with simple and complex types in a variety of contextsThe built-in datatypes provided by XML SchemaUsing facets to extend datatypes, including regular expression-based patternsUsing keys and uniqueness rules to limit how and where information may appearCreating extensible schemas and managing extensibilityDocumenting schemas and extending XML Schema capabilities through annotationsIn addition to the explanatory content, XML Schemaprovides a complete reference to all parts of both the XML Schema Structures and XML Schema Datatypes specifications, as well as a glossary. Appendices explore the relationships between XML Schema and other tools for describing document structures, including DTDs, RELAX NG, and Schematron, as well as work in progress at the W3C to more tightly integrate XML Schema with existing specifications.No matter how you intend to use XML Schema - for data structures or document structures, for standalone documents or part of SOAP transactions, for documentation, validation, or data binding ? all the foundations you need are outlined in XML Schema.

As developers know, the beauty of XML is that it is extensible, even to the point that you can invent new elements and attributes as you write XML documents. Then, however, you need to define your changes so that applications will be able to make sense of them and this is where XML schema languages come into play. RELAX NG (pronounced relaxing), the Regular Language Description for XML Core--New Generation is quickly gaining momentum as an alternative to other schema languages. Designed to solve a variety of common problems raised in the creation and sharing of XML vocabularies, RELAX NG is less complex than The W3C''s XML Schema Recommendation and much more powerful and flexible than DTDs.RELAX NG is a grammar-based schema language that''s both easy to learn for schema creators and easy to implement for software developers In RELAX NG, developers are introduced to this unique language and will learn a no-nonsense method for creating XML schemas. This book offers a clear-cut explanation of RELAX NG that enables intermediate and advanced XML developers to focus on XML document structures and content rather than battle the intricacies of yet another convoluted standard.RELAX NG covers the following topics in depth:
Introduction to RELAX NGBuilding RELAX NG schemas using XML syntaxBuilding RELAX NG schemas using compact syntax, an alternative non-XML syntaxFlattening schemas to limit depth and provide reusabilityUsing external datatype libraries with RELAX NGW3C XML Schema regular expressionsWriting extensible schemasAnnotating schemasGenerating schemas form different sourcesDeterminism and datatype assignmentand much more.If you''re looking for a schema language that''s easy to use and won''t leave you in a labyrinth of obscure limitations, RELAX NG is the language you should be using. And only O''Reilly''s RELAX NG gives you the straightforward information and everything else you''ll need to take advantage of this powerful and intelligible language.
