Modeling Business Objects
XML Schema is the new language standard from the W3C and the new foundation for defining data in Web-based systems. There is a wealth of information available about Schemas but very little understanding of how to use this highly formal specification for creating documents. Grasping the power of Schemas means going back to the basics of documents themselves, and the semantic rules, or grammars, that define them. Written for schema designers, system architects, programmers, and document authors, Modeling Business Objects with XML Schema guides you through understanding Schemas from the basic concepts, type systems, type derivation, inheritance, namespace handling, through advanced concepts in schema design. Reviews basic XML syntax and the Schema recommendation in detail. Discusses Schema design in large environments, best practice design patterns, and Schema's relation to object-oriented concepts. Berthold Daum holds a Ph.D. in mathematics.

Modeling XML Applications with UML
eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and Unified Modeling Language (UML) are two of the most significant advances from the fields of Web application development and object-oriented modeling. Modeling XML Applications with UML reveals how to integrate these two technologies to create dynamic, interactive Web applications and achieve optimal business-to-business application integration. This book focuses on the design and visual analysis of XML vocabularies. It explores the generation of DTD and Schema languages from those vocabularies, as well as the design of enterprise integration and portals -- all using UML class diagrams and use case analysis. Also featured are extensive details on the deployment of XML vocabularies and portals, showing how to put these elements to work within distributed e-business systems. For those who may be new to XML and UML, the book includes a brief overview of topics including: Mapping UML to XML; Transforming XML.

Nitty Gritty XML
This manual aims to provide a structured introduction to XML technology and the practical ways in which it can be used -- from DTD and stylesheet definitions to XSL and XLST as well as hyperlinks in XML. A reference book for all the fundamentals. Introduces elements and the declaration of their attributes for creating documents with the extensible markup language (XML). The authors explain the rules for incorporating document type definition and cascading style sheets. An HTML reference chapter shows which attributes belong to the individual tags and what effects they achieve. Read more about the following technologies: DTD, SGML, CSS, XSL, XSLT, XLINKS and XHTML. Ingo Dellwig, a young computer expert, founded SPECTROsoftware,several years ago, which produces homepages for companies in a variety of industries.

Practical XML for the Web
XML, the extensible markup language, is now a maturing technology with many selling points, as have been explained in books and on the Web for the past few years. This book takes you past the hype to show you how to use XML in your web development, from client-side use with CSS, XSLT, and scripting in the latest browsers, to basic server-side techniques in various environments, such as ASP and JSP. Its focus is on the practical, all theory being backed up by techniques that are actually used on the Web today. This book is for all readers who know some basic HTML - it takes you through the basic theory of XML assuming no prior knowledge. However, since the focus of the book is "practical", the theory is soon out of the way leaving the way open for those web professionals who have previously explored the theory of XML to learn how it can be of use to them in their work. Learn XML transformation and styling with XSLT and CSS stylesheets.

Presenting XML
Unlike many other authors, Richard Light doesn't assume that his readers embrace the new technology he describes -- in this case, XML. At the start, he answers the question of why XML is even necessary. Presenting XML provides information in usable chunks, allowing the reader to easily scan the subchapter titles. Geared toward the user somewhat familiar with the tenets of web design, Presenting XML includes information about basic HTML concepts such as entities and attributes and explains the best means of converting existing HTML to XML. Light later delves into creating XML applications. Presenting XML is comprehensive, full of resources and examples, and contains a well-documented index. For anyone wanting the whole story on XML, this book runs the gauntlet from introductory tutorial to trusted reference guide. Designed to provide a simplified version of SGML, XML may be the future of the web because it allows tags to be used as needed.

Processing XML with Java
Processing XML with Java provides a brief review of XML fundamentals, including XML syntax; DTDs, schemas, and validity; stylesheets; and the XML protocols XML-RPC, SOAP, and RSS. The core of the book comprises in-depth discussions on the key XML APIs Java programmers must use to create and manipulate XML files with Java. These include the Simple API for XML (SAX), the Document Object Model (DOM), and JDOM (a Java native API). In addition, the book covers many useful supplements to these core APIs, including XPath, XSLT, TrAX, and JAXP. Practical in focus, Processing XML with Java is filled with over two hundred examples that demonstrate how to accomplish various important tasks related to file formats, data exchange, document transformation, and database integration. You will learn how to read and write XML documents with Java code, convert legacy flat files into XML documents, communicate with network servers that send and receive XML data.
