IMHO, when talking about XML, a schema is an XML file (*.xsd) which follows a given schema format (or schema), and metadata is just a generic term like data.One other point is that the beauty of XML is that any XML file (that is of correct syntax and particular version, yada yada) can be parsed by a generic parser.imply put: XML is a text-based, extensible, generic mark-up language syntax; a way to organize data as well as meta-data into a syntactically regular form that can parsed without knowing what the data is...
