  2. Lesson 1:Introduction to XML

  3. Objectives • Explain the basic concepts of markup languages • List the goals of XML • Describe the relationship between XML and HTML • Name the organizations that govern and contribute to XML development • Define XHTML • Identify browsers that support XML

  4. WhatIs XML? • Extensible Markup Language • Hypertext Markup Language • Tags <golfer tour=“PGA”> Tiger Woods </golfer>

  5. MarkupLanguages • Markup • WYSIWYG

  6. SGMLRoots • STML and HTML • Meta-language • HTML went astray • HTML tried to recover its vision • Cascading Style Sheets • SGML and XML • Extensible Stylesheet Language

  7. XMLDirectives • Design goals for XML • XML implementation

  8. XHTML,XML and HTML • Extensible Hypertext Markup Language 1.0 • No tags

  9. W3C Oasis BizTalk XML.org Arbortext Microsoft XML Web Services IBM XML Zone Apache XML Project XMLDevelopment Organizations

  10. XML Parsersand Browsers • Parsers • Validating • Non-validating • Browsers • Mozilla • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 • Opera • Netscape Navigator 7

  11. XML AloneIs Insufficient • No linking capability • No formatting capabilities • XML documents are abstract • EDI

  12. Implementing XML • XML schema • Development tools

  13. Benefitsof XML • One source • Management of metadata • Universal representation and meaning • Management of content • One to many • Database publishing

  14. Summary • Explain the basic concepts of markup languages • List the goals of XML • Describe the relationship between XML and HTML • Name the organizations that govern and contribute to XML development • Define XHTML • Identify browsers that support XML

  15. Lesson 2:Well-FormedXML Documents

  16. Objectives • Construct XML documents • Explain the differences between tags and elements in XML • Specify the five rules for creating a well-formed XML document • Convert an HTML document into an XHTML file • Create a well-formed XML document

  17. What Is an XML Document? • HTML: The lazy developer’s dream • XML: The lazy developer’s nightmare

  18. Tags andElements in XML

  19. Rules forWell-Formed XML • Opening and closing tags • New rules for empty tags • Attribute values • Nesting • Matching case between tags • Simple well-formed XML • XHTML: Stepping stone to XML

  20. TagNesting

  21. DiscerningStructure • XML character strings • Character data • White space • The root (or document) element • Tree structure of a well-formed document

  22. TreeStructure

  23. Working withMixed Content • Creating a well-formed XML document from text • Adding comments to XML documents • XML encoding

  24. Balkanizationof the Web • Confusing assortment of tags resulting from numerous tagging schemes

  25. Summary • Construct XML documents • Explain the differences between tags and elements in XML • Specify the five rules for creating a well-formed XML document • Convert an HTML document into an XHTML file • Create a well-formed XML document

  26. Lesson 3:Creating aValid XML Document

  27. Objectives • Define the DTD • Define the DOM • Identify DTD declarations • Create a DTD • Validate an XML document • Create an XML file that conforms to a DTD • Use DTD repositories

  28. Beyond Well-Formedness:Valid XML Documents • Valid conformance with a Document Type Definition • Rules that define the structure, syntax and vocabulary related to tags

  29. DocumentObject Model • Core Level 1 • HTML Level 1

  30. DocumentType Definition • The root element • Element type declarations • #PCDATA • Child elements • Element content • Mixed content • Empty elements

  31. Referencing DTDDefinitions in XML • DOCTYPE declaration • Internal DTD • External DTD

  32. DeclaringAttributes in a DTD • Attribute-list declarations • Commonly used attribute types • Entities • Parameter entities • Notation declarations

  33. Pre-Existing DTDs • XML/DTD repositories

  34. Summary • Define the DTD • Define the DOM • Identify DTD declarations • Create a DTD • Validate an XML document • Create an XML file that conforms to a DTD • Use DTD repositories

  35. Lesson 4:XML Parsers

  36. Objectives • Explain the requirements for a parser • Identify the differences between validating and non-validating parsers • Use online parsers • Use command-line parsers

  37. Parsers • Also known as processors • Varying levels of conformance • Object-based parsers • Event-based parsers • Validating parsers • Non-validating parsers

  38. Command-LineParsing • Verifies document compliance with well-formedness requirements and DTD

  39. Summary • Explain the requirements for a parser • Identify the differences between validating and non-validating parsers • Use online parsers • Use command-line parsers

  40. Lesson 5:The XML Familyof Technologies

  41. Objectives • Define XML namespaces and usage • Explain the XPath recommendation • Explain the XLink recommendation • Explain the XPointer recommendation • Describe the XForms and XML Query proposals

  42. TheXML Family • Namespaces in XML • XLink • XPath • XPointer

  43. Namespacesin XML • Namespace components • Explicit and implicit namespace declaration • Multiple namespaces • Inline namespace declaration • Namespace scope/inheritance • Namespaces and DTDs • Namespace attributes

  44. XPath • XML Path Language • XPath nodes • Document • Root • Element • Attribute • Text • Processing instruction • Namespace • Comment

  45. XPathExpressions • Operand • Location paths • Context node • Function calls • Predicate

  46. XLink • XML Linking Language • Simple links • Extended links • Locators • Arcs • Resources • Titles • Link behavior

  47. XPointer • Fragment identifier • Tracing a path • Shorthand notation • Shorthand syntax • Formal XPointer syntax • Range or portion selection

  48. XFormsand XML Query • XForms • New generation of forms introducing business logic, calculations, and form processing • XML Query • Based pm XML Infoset

  49. Summary • Define XML namespaces and usage • Explain the XPath recommendation • Explain the XLink recommendation • Explain the XPointer recommendation • Describe the XForms and XML Query proposals
