# APLAWS-II: Content Type Schemas

Final 1 November 2003

This document provides XML Schemas for the principle APLAWS content types. These schemas correspond to the XML generated for presenting content items for viewing. Other uses of XML wrt to content types (ie search indexing, import / export) may use different XML schemas. In addition to the basic content type attributes, these schemas also describe the XML generated for links, file attachments and dublin core metadata that are associated with any content type.

The official specification for XML schemas can be found at the W3C site. For a gentler introduction, the O'Reilly XML Schema book is recommended reading.

The schemas that follow represent the XML generated by the `com.arsdigita.cms.dispatcher.ContentPanel` bebop component. This is the standard component used on the CMS item.jsp template.
