Office 2003: To each according to his need
InternetNews | at | by Mike
As Office 2003 edges closer to launch this summer, Microsoft has begun to provide greater clarity into its strategy for the productivity suite, including the reasoning behind its decision to release it in six different editions, or stock keeping units (SKUs).
Only the Professional Enterprise Edition and Professional Edition will include support for custom-defined schemas. According to Microsoft XML Architect Jean Paoli, XML schemas are collections of XML tags that define the elements of an XML document and therefore the structure of information. A custom-defined schema is an XSD file written by the company that uses it (or by a contractor hired by the company) in order to define the tags that company will use in its XML. XSDs are written by developers in development environments like Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET.
