It's a term borrowed from the database world to describe the structure of data in relational tables. In the context of XML, a schema describes a <I>model</I> for a whole class of documents. The model describes the possible arrangement of tags and text in a <A href="http://www.xml.com/pub/a/1999/07/schemas/validity.html"><U><FONT color=#0000ff>valid</FONT></U></A> document. A schema might also be viewed as an agreement on a common vocabulary for a particular application that involves exchanging documents. <P></P> <P>Schemas may sound a little technical, but we use them to analyze the world around us. For example, suppose I ask you, "is this a valid postal address?"</P><PRE class=programlisting>&lt;address&gt; &lt;name&gt;Namron H. Slaw&lt;/name&gt; &lt;street&gt;256 Eight Bit Lane&lt;/street&gt; &lt;city&gt;East Yahoo&lt;/city&gt; &lt;state&gt;MA&lt;/state&gt; &lt;zip&gt;12481-6326&lt;/zip&gt; &lt;/address&gt; </PRE> <P>Mentally, you compare the address presented with a schema that you have in your head for addresses. It probably goes something like this: a postal address consists of a person, possibly at a company or organization, one or more lines of street address, a city, a state or province, a postal code, and an optional country. So, yes, this address is valid.</P> <P>In schemas, models are described in terms of <I>constraints</I>. A constraint defines what can appear in any given context. There are basically two kinds of constraints that you can give: <I>content model</I> constraints describe the order and sequence of elements and <I>datatype</I> constraints describe valid units of data.</P> <P>For example, a schema might describe a valid <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;address&gt;</FONT> with the content model constraint that it consist of a <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;name&gt;</FONT> element, followed by one or more <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;street&gt;</FONT> elements, followed by exactly one <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;city&gt;</FONT>, <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;state&gt;</FONT>, and <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;zip&gt;</FONT> element. The content of a <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;zip&gt;</FONT> might have a further datatype constraint that it consist of either a sequence of exactly five digits or a sequence of five digits, followed by a hyphen, followed by a sequence of exactly four digits. No other text is a valid ZIP code. </P> <P>The purpose of a schema is to allow machine validation of document structure. Every specific, individual document which doesn't violate any of the constraints of the model is, by definition, valid according to that schema.</P> <P>Using the schema described (informally) above, a parser would be able to detect that the following address is not valid:</P><PRE class=programlisting>&lt;address&gt; &lt;name&gt;Namron H. Slaw&lt;/name&gt; &lt;street&gt;256 Eight Bit Lane&lt;/street&gt; &lt;city&gt;East Yahoo&lt;/city&gt; &lt;state&gt;MA&lt;/state&gt; &lt;state&gt;CT&lt;/state&gt; &lt;zip&gt;blue&lt;/zip&gt; &lt;/address&gt; </PRE> <P>It violates two constraints of our schema: it does not contain exactly one <FONT face=新宋体>&lt;state&gt;</FONT> and the ZIP code is not of the proper form. A formal definition of this schema for addresses is presented in the <A href="http://www.xml.com/pub/a/1999/07/schemas/syntax.html"><U><FONT color=#0000ff>syntax</FONT></U></A> section.</P> <P>The ability to test the validity of documents is going to be an important aspect of large web applications that are receiving and sending information to and from lots of sources. If you're receiving XML transactions over the web, you don't want to process the content into your database if it's not in the proper schema. The earlier, and easier it is, to catch this sort of error, the better off you'll be. (You wouldn't want to issue someone a refund check because you allowed them to order -4 hammers, would you?)</P>Windows Vista开发特写http://advdbg.org/forums/177/ShowPost.aspxFri, 28 Jul 2006 09:23:37 GMTe4f42b2c-e28e-435b-8fbe-636f8fa9f0b8:177土豆泥0<P>这里绝不再是表面文章,但也不晦涩难懂,真正是给程序员开的东西:</P> <P><A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/downloads/docs/developerstory/default.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/downloads/docs/developerstory/default.aspx</A></P> <P>不错,值得一看!</P>关于微软新技术(Vista,Office 2007, LiveEarth)的资源汇总http://advdbg.org/forums/172/ShowPost.aspxWed, 12 Jul 2006 04:48:42 GMTe4f42b2c-e28e-435b-8fbe-636f8fa9f0b8:172土豆泥0<STRONG>Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)</STRONG> <P>The Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation provides the foundation for building applications and high fidelity experiences in Windows Vista, blending together application UI, documents, and media content, while exploiting the full power of your computer.
