Abstract

Even though a schema language isn't necessary to write a XML (eXtensible Markup Language) document, modeling the structure of XML documents though a schema may help to automate a wide range of tasks such as validation or generation of treatments or input forms. On the other hand, any modeling activity is imperfect and imposes restrictions on the ensemble of the possible structures. Any schema language is thus a compromise between features, power of expression and simplicity and each of them is more or less biased toward some types of applications. This talk presents and compares the main schema languages that are available today to help developers to choose the language best fitted for their needs.
