Extensibility, XML Vocabularies, and XML Schema (O'Reilly)

[Posted November 3, 2004 by cook]

David Orchard looks at XML extensibility issues on O'Reilly. "This article describes techniques to achieve more effective loose coupling between systems by providing a means for backwards- and forwards-compatible changes to occur when systems evolve. These techniques are designed to allow compatible changes with or without schema propagation. A number of questions, design patterns. and rules are introduced to enable versioning in XML vocabularies, making use of XML namespaces and XML Schema constructs."
