XML Authoring

Must look lsimilar to screenshots

Each department at Austin Technical College must maintain information on the associate’s degrees it offers; each associate’s degree must be approved by a college authority. Sabrina has created an XML vocabulary containing information about the different degrees offered by the Information Technology department. She wants you to create a schema to validate the degree information. Figure 3-38 shows the structures of the degrees vocabulary that you’ll create.

Sabrina already created a document containing a list of degrees currently offered by the Information Technology department. She wants the document validated based on a schema you create. Complete the following:

1. Using your XML editor, open the degreestxt.xml and degreestxt.xsd files from the xml03  review folder, enter your name and today’s date in the comment section of each file, and then save the files as degrees.xml and degrees.xsd , respectively.

2. In the degrees.xsd file, add the root schema element to the document and declare the XML Schema namespace using the xs prefix, and then save your work.

3. In the degrees.xml file, attach the schema file degrees.xsd to this instance document, indicating that the schema and instance document do not belong to any namespace, and then save your work.

4. In the degrees.xsd file, create the following named simple types: a. idType , based on the ID data type and restricted to the regular expression pattern IT\d{2}-\d{3}-\d{3} b. codeType , based on the string data type and restricted to the following values— MP , SP , WPA

5. Declare the degrees element containing the child element degree .

6. Declare the degree element containing the following sequence of nested child elements— title , approvalDate , effectiveDate , summary , coordinator , and comment . Set the following properties for the nested elements:

a. All of the child elements should contain string data except the approvalDate and effectiveDate elements, which contain dates. The degree element should also support two required attributes— degreeID and degreeCode . The degreeID attribute contains idType data, while the degreeCode attribute contains codeType data.

b. The degree element must occur at least once, but its upper limit is unbounded. The approvalDate element is optional. The comment element is optional, and it may occur multiple times. All other elements are assumed to occur only once.

c. Each comment element requires a date attribute of the date data type.

7. Save your changes to the degrees.xsd file, and then validate the schema document. Correct any errors you find.

8. Validate the degrees.xml file against the schema document you created. Correct any validation errors you discover in the instance document.
