I’m trying to understand how best to implement xlink
in the context of the following scenario.
I have a schema, say root.xsd, which describes:
<Root>
<A>
<B
maxoccurs=”unbounded”>
<xs:element
ref=”X”/>
…
</B>
</A>
</Root>
<X>Global type definition of ‘X’</X>
The objective is to support the definition of instance
documents that only define instances of <X> that can
be aggregated, and referenced by <B>, into a single “master”
instance document. Thus, I would have
root.xml and n instances of xdef_n.xml that need to be
linked.
From the Xlink specification I am under the impression that
I could create an extended link to contain
the links between root.xml and the instances of xdef_n.xml.
However, I am unsure as to what needs to
be defined, if anything, within root.xsd.
Thanks in advance.
