Week 7 COAP 2180
(under construction ....)
Week seven includes two topics:
- XML Schema, a more powerful document type definition (gramar) language
- Almost final touches to the term project
- XSLT Q/R if necessary
WARNING/REMINDER: The Wednesday week 7 lesson is cancelled. Make-up class is scheduled for next Friday (december 10) at 12.00h .
Teaching materials
- XSD tutorial - Basics
- xml-schema.pdf (same contents)
- XSD example directory: xsd-examples/ (not really needed)
Textbook chapters
- Ray, Learning XML, Second Edition, Chapter 4, Quality Control with Schemas (ok explanation by example, but a bit too short)
- Harold, XML in a Nutshell, XML Schema, chapter 17 (this text is not too easy to understand, but useful reading anyhow)
Classroom activities
- Translate your "best" DTD to XSD
- Start on hw7
- Discuss term projet
Homework 7
Task
- Take the DTD from your term project or homework 4/5.
- Create an XSD from the DTD
- Add extra constraints that are appropriate with respect to your project. Typically you may constrain the number of child elements and add data types for element and/or attribute contents.
Tips:
- Look at examples (includes ones that could be found on the Internet)
Deadline and submission:
- Monday week 8 (before start of class)
- Use the world classroom: https://webster.blackboard.edu/
- Submit the *.xsd, the *.xml test files, and an optional optional report file (see below)
Evaluation criteria (roughly)
Work considered as weak:
- Pure translation without any extra hand editing
Work considered as minimalistic:
- Minimal changes, e.g. a single extra constraint with respect to the number of child elements
Good work and excellent work (B to A-) may include one or several of the following:
- Inserted comments in the XSD that explain some (not all) of the schema
- A report (e.g. in HTML, word, PDF etc.)
- All possible sorts of extra constraints you could reasonably use for your problem
Brilliant work (A)
- Does all of the above, i.e. produces a result that could be used in real life.
