How does DSML relate to XML?
DSML is an XML-Schema for representing Directory Services content and structure. An XML-Schema is a format for specifying rules covering the structure and content of XML documents. DSML will be defined using a Document Content Description (DCD) (see W3C-DCD spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-dcd ). XML (for eXtensible Markup Language) is widely considered to be the core language of e-business. It is a syntax that standardizes how task-focused information is shared across the Internet. XML provides for both context and interoperability of data, thereby enabling dynamic activities. Also, since XML is self-describing, specific XML-based applications can interact with each other without special programming to integrate them.
