About XML and XML schema

XML is an essential element in most Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs), supporting, for example, related language construct such as the Web services Description Language (WSDL) model for describing Web services and the Atom syndication format for HTTP feed sharing, that enable improved interoperability versus earlier binary distributed object formats. Related to XML is XML schema that support schema languages for validating XML and Web services. useful in the development of XML document processing software. Such schema can work with logic, data and documents.
