XML Schemas (XSDs)

An XML Schema is written in the Schema Definition Language (XSD) and is used to constrain and define XML. For instance, if there are multiple options for a particular name-value pair, these can be explicitly listed in a XSD document. This sample XSD document contains the controlled vocabulary for several technical properties including coding language, compiler, operating system, process, platform, framework, and calendar type.
