   RE: [xml-dev] can xml schema represent such a instance xml document here

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Yes, XML schema can handle this.

The definitions for each namespace need to go in a separate schema document,
and any schema document that refers to elements defined in a different
namespace needs to use xs:import to import that namespace.
