XML

This complete reference covers a very broad range of topics—including XML parsers, validators, schemas, DTDs, style sheets (both XSL and CSS), namespaces, XLink and XPointers, XBase, and XML Queries. In addition, several supporting standards, including the Resource Description Framework (RDF), XML Digital Sigs, Synchronized Markup Languages, and Scalable Vector Graphics formats are addressed. Using this book, you'll be able to go from creating simple XML documents to developing full-fledged Web-based XML solutions.
