> W3C XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) 1.1 Part 1: Structures
> This document specifies the XML Schema Definition Language, which offers
> facilities for describing the structure and constraining the contents of
> XML documents, including those which exploit the XML Namespace facility.
> The schema language, which is itself represented in an XML vocabulary
> and uses namespaces, substantially reconstructs and considerably extends
> the capabilities found in XML document type definitions (DTDs). This
> specification depends on XML Schema Definition Language 1.1 Part 2:
> Datatypes.
> 
> 
> W3C XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes
> XML Schema: Datatypes is part 2 of the specification of the XML Schema
> language. It defines facilities for defining datatypes to be used in XML
> Schemas as well as other XML specifications. The datatype language,
> which is itself represented in XML, provides a superset of the
> capabilities found in XML document type definitions (DTDs) for
> specifying datatypes on elements and attributes.
