Hello Michael,
I am well aware of W3C and work with their standards. As a result
of that awareness I happened upon a linked comment that alleged the
W3C had defined naming conventions but the link only resolved to the
W3C 'home page' and after rooting around at the W3C site regardless
I was not able to locate any specific naming conventions in the context
I was expecting and hoping to find as those published by Microsoft's
..NET Framework General Reference Naming Guidelines [1].
To help clarify, I have read comments that compared the declaration
of XML elements to classes and class members and so on. I'd like to
learn more about how to think when defining and declaring XML
elements that may correlate to class definitions.
For example, I know XML is case sensitive but when I name XML
elements by which naming guideline am I motivated to declare an
element, as book, Book, bookStore or BookStore and how may
the declaration and its child elements correlate to any named counterpart
which may exist in my code when used to parse and process the XML?
The Visual Studio Coding Techniques [2] is helpful but does not
make the corrolary with XML elements.
Searching MSDN has not turned up anything specific in the context
I am attempting to convey.
In a nutshell, I want to learn if it is a correct perception that a well
designed XML schemata naming convention can be thought of as
equivalent to that of designing a class library and if so how to correlate
the constituent XML elements and child decedants by name to
class library counterparts?
Clear as mud :-)

W3C.ORG publishes the XML standards. If you're talking about an XML
document, and naming tags (nodes) and attributes in particular, the naming
convention depends on what you're trying to do. For general purpose
stuff, you can make up your own. If you're trying to implement functionality
through an XML-based standard (like SOAP) there are specific guidelines
and structures (SOAP standards are also published by W3C on their website).
Thanks,

news:%2******** ********@TK2MSF TNGP11.phx.gbl. .. Does the use of DTD, XML Schema and similar constructs adopt
the use of C# naming conventions? If so how do I make the distinction
of how to apply C# conventions with XML elements, attributes and so
on? Any referrals to resources that discuss or document XML Naming
Conventions?
