<p>The <a href="/facts/W3C/lGWmhF6M">W3C</a>'s <a href="/facts/XML_Schema_(W3C)/X6Uly3dm">XML Schema</a> Recommendation defines a formal mechanism for describing <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> documents. The standard has become popular and is used by the majority of <a href="/facts/List_of_XML_Schemas/2ynQSVGl">standards bodies</a> when describing their data. </p><p>The standard is versatile, allowing for programming concepts such as inheritance and type creation, but it is complex. The standard itself is highly technical and published in 3 different parts, making it difficult to understand without committing large amounts of time. </p>
