And with differing philosophies come distinct results. For the first time in many years, the direction of upcoming browser versions is uncertain. Uncover the bigger picture behind the details of these two standards.

The XHTML 2 specification isn't finished, but it already has many advantages over XHTML 1, including a greater structural richness that will make it more viable than its predecessor as an editorial format to serve as the central schema for a single-source publishing system. Without waiting for browser support of the new user interface features in XHTML 2, people who do large- or small-scale publishing can start to use these new features now.

The XML declaration is optional in XML files, and defaults determine most of the information in the file. However, problems are common when these defaults do not match reality -- for example, the document could use an encoding other than one of the defaults. It's always safer to make the XML declaration. In this tip, Uche Ogbuji covers what should be included in the XML declaration on all files.

The industry bundles for pureXML, published on alphaWorks, illustrate access to content stored on IBM DB2 in XML, through small script or Java-based applications. They are focused on populating, validating, and querying XML content that is pertinent to a specific industry. A pureXML industry bundle is typically a downloadable zip file that contains sample XML messages (XML instance documents), and scripts or Java code that populates one or more DB2 pureXML tables with the XML messages. The scripts also issue validation and query requests on the XML messages, and transform portions of the XML messages into relational tables. In this article, you'll learn about the industry-specific XML exchange formats, and learn how you can easily get started with implementing these solutions by downloading the industry bundles and viewing the interactive demonstrations.

You might have heard about microformats, a way to embed small, specialized information within standard formats. In fact, microformats come in two types: elemental microformats, which are often quite useful, and compound microformats, which are often quite problematic. Learn about a basic approach to avoid the hacks in some compound microformats by virtue of the structure of the Web. XML, and other natural data representation technologies such as JSON, are just as viable as many of their counterparts in microformats.

The always evolving context of the Web imposes the challenge of how to accommodate new functionalities and new data types in the database that underlies a Web application or service. For XML databases, new schema versions can be released as frequently as once every six months. This article extends a taxonomy of changes that might apply to an XML schema during its evolution. It then examines the impact of those changes on the schema validation process (both forward and backward validations) and query evaluation. Based on the cases studied, this article proposes guidelines for XML schema evolution and for writing queries so they continue to operate as expected across evolving schemas.

- Understanding DOM by Nicholas Chase - [Clicks: 13]
Even before there was XML, there was the Document Object Model, or DOM. It allows a developer to refer to, retrieve, and change items within an XML structure, and is essential to working with XML. In this tutorial, you will learn about the structure of a DOM document. You will also learn how to use Java technology to create a Document from an XML file, make changes to it, and retrieve the output.
