Hi Mangesh,

You can have this in Schema.

Define simple type attribute and have a regular expression as the constraint on that simple type attribute according to your data+units combination.

Subject: [xml-dev] can attribute in XML schema hold value and unit

Hi All,

 

I am creating a xml schema where I have to making a ‘attribute’ but can a attribute hold a value and unit.

My example is FlowRate, let’s the value and unit could be 100 GPM.

Can I have just one attribute for 100 and GPM both. Some times it might be 80 cFPS.

 

So can a attribute hold both or do I need element here.

 

Thanks,

 

Mangesh
