'''Schema for Object-Oriented XML''', or '''SOX''', is an [[XML schema]] language developed by [[Commerce One]]. In [[1998]] a SOX specification was submitted to the [[World Wide Web Consortium]] and published as a W3C Note. A revised version, SOX 2.0, was published as a W3C Note in [[1999]].

SOX was one of several predecessors of the [[W3C]]'s [[XML Schema (W3C)|XML Schema]] language. After the publication of XML Schema, SOX continued to be supported by Commerce One until the company's bankruptcy in late 2004.

The patents for SOX and other Commerce One technologies were purchased by [[Novell, Inc.]] in December 2004, reportedly in an effort to prevent them from being exploited by unrelated companies whose primary business is filing patent-related lawsuits.[http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/05/02/business/novell.php]
