XML.ORG
http://www.xml.org/xml/news_market.shtml
www.XML.org was formed and introduced in June 1999 by OASIS, the non-profit Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Systems, to minimize overlap and duplication in XML languages and XML standard initiatives by providing public access to XML information and XML Schemas. Today XML.org has grown into a centralized portal and has emerged as a valuable and leading resource to technologists,developers and businesspeople developing purpose-built XML languages. XML.org attracts considerable traffic (12K page views from over 3.5K visitors a day).

Cover Pages
http://xml.coverpages.org/
XML.coverpages.org, hosted by OASIS, managed by XML.org and edited by Robin Cover, is widely regarded as the most comprehensive online reference work for XML and its parent, SGML. XML Cover Pages features an extensive reference collection of more than 5,000 documents on the application of markup language standards. Many technologists and business people rely on its content for daily updates on XML resources and industry initiatives. (7K visitors view over 24K pages each day.)

Comparative Analysis of Six XML Schema Languages
Dongwon Lee Wesley W. Chu

http://www.cobase.cs.ucla.edu/tech-docs/dongwon/ucla-200008.html
Abstract by authors: As XML is emerging as the data format of the internet era, there is an substantial increase of the amount of data in XML format. To better describe such XML data structures and constraints, several XML schema languages have been proposed. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of the six noteworthy XML schema languages.

XML Schemas: Best Practice Homepage
http://www.xfront.com/BestPracticesHomepage.html
The purpose of the Best Practices discussion is to collectively create a set of schema design guidelines that describes the pros and cons of each design issue, thus enabling a schema designer to make intelligent design decisions in creating a schema. The objective of these guidelines is not to dictate rules, “thou shall follow these rules”, but rather, to shed light on all sides of each design issue, so that a schema designer is empowered to make intelligent design decisions.
