Talk:XML - Managing Data Exchange/Data schemas

When going over the chapter, I noticed it's chock full of info, but a little tough to pay attention to the whole thing. I plan on keeping the bulk of it but simplifying some of the real technical stuff. Also, I plan on putting in some simpler definitions for some of the more important terms such as an "element." as far as the structure goes, it's fine except for some minor details like misnumbering of bulleted points. Finally, i will redo the learning objectives and keep them more focused on more tangible subjects

Revisions by editorial board - Moussa

I think we will all agree on the fact that the chapter is too technical. While trying to write it in a simpler way, also try to had more spacings.


 * Add objectives and banner
 * You should be very careful about putting new definitions: Just keep in my mind to name sources if you are using any; it would be much better to come up with your own – the editorial can review them for correctness.
 * You should we do something about the contents, the titles look very confusing.
 * Get rid of the coloring of xmlns:xsd, targetNamespace, ... just keep it black and bold.

I think the references to NetBeans should be deleted. This will help to simplify the chapter and make it editor-independent. I agree that the structure is OK. The key is to explain these concepts in simple terms. The original author did quite a good job.

Final comments - Moussa
The new word shoud be in bold without color. The exercises should be a link and also another one for the answers. You can refer to the "Author Guidelines" for more details. I was expecting a bit more changes in the content, the name given in the bullets are not very consistent with what has been done in previous chapters.
