An introduction to XML Schema 1.1

XML Schema 1.1, Part 1: An introduction to XML Schema 1.1: "With XML Schema's wide adoption and diversity of usage, schema users have requested many improvements and new capabilities. The W3C XML Schema working group has developed XML Schema 1.1 to address these most commonly requested features including several which address shortcomings of XML Schema 1.0. In this first of a multi-part series of articles, authors Neil Delima, Sandy Gao, Michael Glavassevich, and Khaled Noaman introduce XML Schema 1.1 with an overview of the features introduced in this emerging standard and take an in-depth look at the additions and changes to the datatypes portion of the specification."
