     Hello all:
     
     I am a newbie to XML - I used IBM Alpha XML Parser to
     work on these following samples (from XML-Data spec).
     
     I don't understand what is the context of "schema" in this
     sample.  
     
     Is the schema is a XML DTD or just XML file?
     How do I include it into my XML file?
     
     Please enlighten me - I greatly appreciate.
