Dave co-chaired both the W3C Web Service Architecture Working Group and the XML Schema Working Group. Dave is a co-author of W3C Specification Namespaces in XML, co-author of a book titled XML Applications and technical editor for books on XML Architecture, Web Services, XML Schemas and Semantics in Business Systems.
