You write an Schema to describe the data you want. This schema happens to be written to be Well-Formed XML You then produce a piece of Well-Formed XML, which includes references to the schema document. This reference is a URI (A URL, essentially) There is no intermediate stage. If you also want to write a definition for the schema-file, it's just a piece of XML. Thus you either describe it with a DTD, or you include an appropriate xsi:schmeaLocation To blow my own Trumpet, you could look at http://lucas.ucs.ed.ac.uk/xml-schema/ To promote Eric van der Vlist's work: look at http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2000/11/29/schemas/part1.html hope this helps... -- --==++ Ian Stuart: Edinburgh University Data Library.
