Definition

XML Schema is a language for defining the allowed structure, elements, attributes, and data types of XML documents.
Context & Usage

Documentation teams use XML schemas to validate structured content and enforce consistency in XML-based authoring systems. In DITA, DocBook, and other XML workflows, schemas help tools detect content that does not conform to the expected model.
