Google uses an XML schema to define the elements and attributes that can appear in your Sitemap file. You can download this schema from the links below:

For Sitemaps:

http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd

For Sitemap index files:

http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/siteindex.xsd
