Authoring Schemas With XSD

Posted by timothy on from the dare-unravels-with-his-usual-aplomb dept.

Dare Obasanjo points to his own "article on O'Reilly's XML.com that specifies a set of guidlelines for authoring schemas using the W3C XML Schema Definition language commonly abbreviated as XSD. The primary theme is embracing simplicity by showing how to avoid the more complex and esoteric features of the language."

    XML's reach extends beyond just websites. The business savvy amongst you will of course recognise its 2 major uses in projects...

    1. "Extracting more money from the customer" - We must implement these system interfaces in XML.

    2. "Protecting the money you have already extracted from the customer" - We have problems implementing these system interfaces in XML. This tactic can only be used once the customer is dependent on you.

    Fuck - I've become a jaded old bastard :)

    I don't have hopes or dreams (yeah)
    I don't have plans or schema's
    I can't author anything
    Since I don't have XSD

    I looked on Google
    And I checked out ActiveState
    And I tried MacMall
    They don't carry XSD

    Microsoft says just use .Net
    Redhat says there's no RPMs for it yet
    And Ellen Feiss says hers disappeared
    I don't have XSD
