一个很不错的XML Schema例子

<!-- XSD Model File --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <!-- Simple types definition --> <xs:element name="orderperson" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="address" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="country" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="note" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="quantity" type="xs:positiveInteger"/> <xs:element name="price" type="xs:decimal"/> <!-- Attributions definition --> <xs:attribute name="orderid" type="xs:string"/> <!-- Complex types definition --> <xs:element name="shipto"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="name"/> <xs:element ref="address"/> <xs:element ref="city"/> <xs:element ref="country"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="item"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="title"/> <xs:element ref="note" minOccurs="0"/> <xs:element ref="quantity"/> <xs:element ref="price"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="shiporder"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="orderperson"/> <xs:element ref="shipto"/> <xs:element ref="item" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute ref="orderid" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> <!--Belongs the target XML file--> <!-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shiporder orderid="889923" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="shiporder.xsd"> <orderperson>George Bush</orderperson> <shipto> <name>John Adams</name> <address>Oxford Street</address> <city>London</city> <country>UK</country> </shipto> <item> <title>Empire Burlesque</title> <note>Special Edition</note> <quantity>1</quantity> <price>10.90</price> </item> <item> <title>Hide your heart</title> <quantity>1</quantity> <price>9.90</price> </item> </shiporder> -->
