One of the benefits of using XML Schema is that it supports a modular design through use of user-defined type definitions, a flexible namespace mechanism, and the ability to easily import and include XML schema libraries. XML Schema is thus designed to promote the reuse of data models. So, if you're working on an industry specific XML application, consider using an existing industry standard XML data model instead of starting from scratch each time. The standardized XML data models were designed by consortiums of industry experts that have put considerable time and effort into data modeling. Check out the XML schema library for free today.
