Keeping Pace with Evolving XML-Based Specifications
Conference paper
Abstract
Standards and specifications are essential to organizations that require exchange of information with other parties. XML is poised to be the definitive language of choice in Internet and Intranet applications and IT specifications are increasingly adopting XML schema. However, many specifications are still evolving. In order to cope with such rapid changes, extensions to the XML Schema Language are proposed. The objective is to ensure compatibility between different versions of standards. A framework which utilizes the XML Schema Language extensions is further proposed.
