Professional XSL takes an applied, tutorial-style approach to teaching the core fundamentals of the XSLT, XPath and XSL-FO specifications. You'll learn how to create well structured and modularized stylesheets to generate your required output, how to change, filter, and sort data, and how to incorporate other content for presentation purposes. 
 XML is now the established standard for platform-neutral data storage and exchange, separating content from presentation. Its popularity is due to the flexibility of the language and the ability to reuse the data in a variety of ways. XSL is a key technology for working with XML, and is comprised of two parts: XSLT is the official language for transforming XML from one format to another, whether for restructuring/selectively processing the data or presenting the data for display; XSL-FO is a proposed vocabulary for incorporating information concerning how the document should be arranged for presentation. A related standard, XPath, is the language for addressing specific parts of an XML document.

In order to leverage XML's power as a self-describing and extensible language, we need a way to define and describe the allowable content of any type of XML document. In the past, this has been achieved with DTDs, but these have in many ways fallen short of the requirements for working with data. XML Schemas were created to provide a more powerful and flexible mechanism for describing permissible document structures using XML syntax. They provide a set of built-in datatypes, which can mimic the object-oriented mechanisms of many languages, offer support for namespaces, and facilities for automated documentation. 
 Professional XML Schemas exhaustively details the W3C XML Schema language, and teaches the new syntax in an intuitive and logical way. From declaring elements and attributes, creating complex content models, and working with multiple namespaces, you'll move on to see how XML Schemas are used in real-world situations. A number of practical case studies will illustrate the design and creation of schemas in the diverse worlds of relational databases, document management, and e-commerce applications. 
 This book covers: A complete guide to XML Schema Syntax Using XML Schema built-in types, and deriving new types Working with XML Schemas and namespaces Creating identity and uniqueness constraints Good XML Schema design, illustrated in a number of different areas Working with XML Schemas and XSLT Writing XML Schemas for working with SOAP Integrating Schematron and XML Schemas

Web Development & Design

XML is established as the universal standard for delivering documents and data on the Web. The next step is to process that data and the XSL Transformation language, XSLT, has been developed as the primary means for such processing. XSLT can be used to convert XML data for presentational purposes as well as to modify data structure.

The platform- and language-agnostic nature of XML makes it a natural choice for developers building cross-platform applications and is rapidly becoming the mechanism of choice for application designers who need to store and share data. 
Simply knowing the syntax and features of the language just isn’t enough if you want to build powerful and efficient XML driven applications. You need to understand how to use the language and its features in the most effective manner. This is where this book comes in - assuming familiarity with the mechanics of XML, it analyzes all of the critical pieces of the XML space that require careful design in order to build efficient, robust, and extensible applications. It covers: 
<li> Effective document design 
</li>
<li> Designing robust, flexible schemas for validating documents 
</li>
<li> Dissection of the SAX and DOM parsing APIs - when to use which 
</li>
<li> Best practices for XSLT design 
</li>
<li> XML storage strategies 
</li>
<li> Techniques for XML transmission, using SOAP and XML-RPC 
</li>
<li> Presenting data to a range of different applications The book should appeal equally to the XML developer, who needs to write code to process XML documents or data, and the XML architect, working on systems that store and/or process XML.
