XSD
An XML Schema Definition (XSD)
is an instance of an XML schema written in the W3C's XML
Schema language. An XSD defines a type of XML document in
terms of constraints upon what elements and attributes may
appear, their relationship to each other, what types of data
may be in them, and other things. It can be used with
validation software in order to ascertain whether a
particular XML document is of that type, and to produce a
Post-Schema Validation Infoset.
XSDs were the first W3C-recommended XML schemas
to provide a namespace- and datatype-aware alternative to
using XML's built-in Document Type Definitions (DTDs).
XML Schema Definition files usually have the filename
extension ".xsd". A unique Internet Media Type is not yet
registered for XSDs, so "application/xml" or "text/xml"
should be used, as per RFC 3023.
