The Martin Bryan article talked about BURKS, the Brighton University Resource Kit for Students, which from 1997-2001 provided students of computing who had little or no internet access the necessary resources for learning different programming languages. While the collection dropped in sales once broadband internet became readily available, the tutorials still offer a dictionary of computing terms and a copy of the Mandrake 8.0 Linux distribution.
The next article, by Uche Oqbuji, gives a pretty well defined list of sources and tutorials to go to for XML. The lsit of technologies included XML 1.0, XML introduction tutorials, catalogs, namespaces, XML base, XInclude, among other standards. I will definitely keep this article handy for future reference when it comes to XML standards and tutorials for beginners. From my understanding, it would seem that Schematron would be a useful tool because you don't have to start from the root nodes and work your way up.
The tutorial by Bergholz was also informative to the XML beginner, as he explains the functionality of XML to the final product. He also mentions the basic structure of SGML and how HTML is written to markup the appearance of a document, and has nothing to do with the content.
The XML Schema Tutorial shows the nature of XML structure. It also explained the nature of the applied elements in the structure, and the functionality of specific commands.
