Table 70. xsd:schema Properties
Property

Description
|
|---|
Type
|
The type is always Schema.
|
Namespace
|
The namespace for the Schema node is usually xsd, but you can change it.
|
Target Namespace
|
This is the namespace that elements and attributes defined in an instance document belong to. For example, suppose you define the following:
<xsd:schema ... targetNamespace="http://myNS">
<xsd:element name="myelement"/>
In an instance document, the following declarations conform with the target namespace:
<myelement xmlns="http://myNS"/>
<myns:myelement xmlns:myns="http://myNS"/>
However, the following declaration does not conform:
<myns:myelement xmlns:myns="http://anotherNS"/>

Version
|
Use this property as a convenient way to track the revisions of your XML Schema document.
|
Default Element Form
|
An element or attribute's form is either qualified or unqualified. A form of qualified means that each time an element or attribute is referenced in the schema document, you must specify the prefix of its namespace. Every element and attribute has a form attribute. If it is not explicitly defined, the schema processor checks the default attribute form specified for the Schema node. For example:
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://myNs"
xmlns:myns="http://myNS">
<xs:element name="topElem">
....
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="anElem">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="myns:topElem">
...
If the form for the element topElem (or, the default form for elements) was defined to be unqualified, the reference could have used ref="topElem".

Default Attribute Form
|
Default Blocked Definitions
|
If an element does not have its own blocked or final definition, the schema processor uses the default blocked or final definition you specify here.
