World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
XML is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere. This page describes the work being done at W3C within the XML Activity, and how it is structured.

XML Schemas 
XML Schemas express shared vocabularies and allow machines to carry out rules made by people. They provide a means for defining the structure, content and semantics of XML documents. The XML Activity Statement explains the W3C's work on this topic in more detail. XML Schema was approved as a W3C Recommendation on 2 May 2001.
