这篇教程教你如何描述XML文档的结构

You have learned how to use an XML Schema is to define the legal elements of an XML document,just like a DTD. We think that very soon XML Schemas will be used in most Web applications as a replacement for DTDs.
你已经学习了怎样使用XML Schema（XML 公式），就是象DTD一样给XML文档定义合法元素。我们认为很快XML Schema（XML 公式）就会取代DTD而被大多数的网络应用程序所使用。
You have also learned that the XML Schema language is very rich. Unlike DTDs,it supports data types and namespaces.
你已经知道了 XML公式语言是很丰富的。和DTD不同，它支持数据类型和名称空间。
For more information on XML Schema,please look at our XML Schema reference.

Now You Know XML Schema,What's Next?
现在你知道了XML Schema，那接着学什么呢？
The next step is to learn about WSDL.
下步是学习有关WSDL.
WSDL is a schema-based language for describing Web services and how to access them.
WSDL 是描述网络服务以及描述怎样访问它们的一种以schema为基础的语言
WSDL describes a web service,along with the message format and protocol details for the web service.
WSDL描述网络服务，以及与网络服务有关的信息格式和协议细节。
