The first place you should look at is the new SOX 2 documentation at
http://www.w3.org/TR
It has a lot of very good ideas. Try to avoid the XML Schema draft
itself,
until you have a good grip on what is going on: it is liable to be
revised
substantially, as many drafts are.

I have written a book on structures "The SGML & XML Cookbook", ISBN
0-13-614223-0, which I think is very useful. I also have a series of
articles
on experimental schema ideas at
