- 
-<note tip>To help prepare for the exam and illustrate the kind of questions you may expect, two old exam questions are available: {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​ex-2011-s1-en_v2_.pdf|exam 1}}, {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​ex-2011-s2-en.pdf|exam 2}}. Please note, however, 
- that in the meantime new content has been added to the course; in particular the example exams do not contain questions about (1) the architecture of the web; (2) web services</​note>​

- 
-==== Lecture 4: XML Schema Languages: XSDs === 
- 
-In Lecture 4, we have discussed the limitations of DTDs. Some of these 
-limitations are lifted by XML Schema, whose syntax and semantics were studied during lecture 4.

-contributes the remaining 14/20 points. ​ 
- 
-See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). ​ 
- 
-<note tip>You can use these simple ​ {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​validationtools.zip|validation tools}} (written in Java) to help check if your example documents conform toyour XSD. Unzip the file, and then use either ''​java -jar DTDValidator.jar <​xmldoc>''​ or ''​java -jar XSDValidator.jar <​schemadoc>​ <​xmldoc>''​ to validate. The third jar file contains the source code, should you be interested.</​note>​

-the {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​5-xslt.pdf|corresponding slides}}. 
- 
-==== Project Assignment 2: XSLT ==== 
- 
-Write a single XSLT 2.0 stylesheet that generates, starting from the 
-dblp-excerpt.xml file, a number of HTML files that together 
-collectively emulates part of the DBLP website. Read the 
-{{:​teaching:​infoh509:​deux_en.pdf|full assignment}},​ and download the 
-corresponding {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​deux_xslt_data.zip|support files}}. 
- 
-This assignment is to be made in groups of 
-two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two 
-more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam 
-contributes the remaining 14/20 points. ​ 
- 
-See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted. ​ 
- 
-<note tip>The zip file above contains a XSLT transformation tool. You can use ''​java -jar xslt-tool.jar <​xslt-file>​ <​inputfile>​ <​outputfile>''​ to run it. </​note>​ 
- 
-==== Lecture 6: Querying XML documents with XQuery === 
- 
-In Lecture 6 we have discussed how XML documents can be queried and transformed into other formats (be it XML or not) using XQuery. See pages 240-2840 in the book (**except sections 6.7.5, 6.8, 6.9**) and 
-the {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​6-xquery.pdf|corresponding slides}}. 
-

-two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two 
-more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam 
-contributes the remaining 14/20 points. ​
