Best Practices for XML Schemas
Ayesha Malik, Object Machines

Track: XML
Date: Wednesday, July 09
Time: 10:45am - 11:30am
Location: Columbia

XML schemas offer a powerful set of tools for constraining and formalizing the vocabulary and grammar of XML documents. With XML rapidly emerging as the data transport format of the future, it is clear that the structure of the XML, as outlined by schemas, must be created and stored in an organized manner. Developers experienced in object-oriented design know that a flexible architecture ensures consistency throughout the system and helps to accommodate growth and change. This instructional talk uses an object-oriented framework to show you how to design XML schemas that are extensible, flexible, and modular.

Topics Discussed with examples:

  • Encapsulation
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism


  • Emerging Design Patterns
  • Russian Doll
  • Salami Slice
  • Venetian Blind

  • Separate schemas by function and service
