You haven't given us quite enough to give you the full solution. But the
problem is evident. The <article> element must be qualified with a
different namespace (specifically:
"http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/";) so
something like:
<art:article
xmlns:art="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/"/>
should work. Right now, because of the default xmlns, you are suggesting
that <article> is in the
"http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/single/";
namespace.
Keep in mind, you declared a namespace in article.xsd. There that global
element definition must be qualified with that namespace name regardless
of where it is referenced. You import it into your schema and then reuse
it using a ref, so it definitely must be qualified with the original
namespace.
there are workarounds to have separate modules and one global namespace.
But we would need to see more to give you the full breakdown.
