Program
Introduction to XML-Schema
Presenter: Joel Sklar

Description
If you work with XML, you've probably heard about XML-Schema and its potential as a replacement for DTDs. In this talk, you will learn about XML-Schema syntax, capabilities, and standards. You will see how XML-Schema provides more robust data modeling for XML languages. Whether you work with XML publishing tools or XML software development, this talk will clarify the benefits and drawbacks of working with this newer modeling language.
