XML Schema Training Overview

This course gives the student who knows the fundamentals of XML a detailed introduction to the XML Schema standard for defining document type information.

Location and Pricing

Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. To receive a customized proposal and price quote, please contact us.

XML Schema Training Prerequisites

Prior knowledge of XML.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This XML Schema training class is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 15 minutes. Students "learn by doing," with immediate opportunities to apply the material they learn to real-world problems.

XML Schema Training Materials

More than 250 pages of comprehensive courseware and a copy of Definitive XML Schema.

Software Needed on Each Student PC

A validating XML editor of your choice. We'd be delighted to advise you on selecting the appropriate tool.

XML Schema Training Objectives

After this training, attendees shall be able to:

Develop XML Schema to express precise type information for an XML document.
Associate schema with XML instance documents.
Validate instance documents against associated schema.
Define simple types, and use value restrictions and enumerations to constrain values.
Define list types and union types.
Create complex types, including simple types and other complex types, and empty- and mixed-content types.
Define element and attribute groups for better reuse and more maintainable schema.
Associate elements of different types using keys and key references.
Create derived simple and complex types using restriction and/or extension.
Develop hierarchies of reusable complex types using type extension.
Populate multiple namespaces using schema, and import and use those namespaces in valid instance documents.
Design schema that maximize validation capabilities and type reuse.
Use XSLT as an additional stage of document validation, to catch patterns that XML Schema cannot be used to express.
