BI/XML Publisher Notes

Before going into more details of XML Publisher, lets have a look at some of the XML standards.

The XML language specification defines the rules for XML document structure and how XML processors should read the document.

The DTD (document type definition) validates an XML document and provides the relationships of elements contained in the document.

XML Namespaces helps us to distinguish elements with different definitions having same name in the XML document.

The XML Path Language (XPath) provides syntax for searching the XML documents.

The Extensible Style Sheet Language (XSL) uses XSLT (Transformations) to transform an XML document to another document.

An XML Schema describes the XML document structure using DTD and namespaces.
