I have just started reading about XML Schema definiton.
i have confusion in my mind that whether we have to develop a XML Schema definiton file for an XML file or after developing XML file we well make its XSD file.
Actually i am confuse in that manner that whether XML Schema definiton file is used for developing XML file or we use XML file to write XML Schema definiton file.
If you are unsure of the exact requirements, then it may be best to first develop the XML file, and then make the schema definition file afterwards.
However, it is generally good pratice to start with the schema definition if you are sure about the requiremens, so that you can check against the requirements as you build the actual XML file.

I believe it often depends on the schenario.
