No, on several levels. First, a nit. The example schema is not well-formed and keyref is spelled with lower-case 'r'. Second, a keyref can only refer to a key defined in the same scope. Third, even if you move the key and keyref into the same scope, the keys in your example are not unique. Two of them have the value "1". It seems likely that you didn't think this should be valid when you posed it, as you know perfectly well that the state code must be combined with plateNumber to make a unique key. Must be a "teaching example". ;-} Bob Foster Murali Mani wrote: > I have a question on XML-Schema: > > Is it possible to have: > > <xs:element name="vehicle"> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:attribute name="plateNumber" type="xs:integer"/> > </xs:complexType> > </xs:element> > > <xs:element name="state"> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:sequence> > <xs:element name="code" type="xs:string"/> > <xs:element ref="vehicle" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> > </xs:sequence> > </xs:complexType> > > <xs:key name="reg"> > <xs:selector xpath=".//vehicle"/> > <xs:field xpath="@plateNumber"/> > </xs:key> > </xs:element> > > <xs:element name="person"> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:sequence> > <xs:element name="car" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:attribute name="regPlate" type="xs:integer"/> > </xs:complexType> > </xs:element> > </xs:sequence> > </xs:complexType> > > <xs:keyRef name="carRef" refer="reg"> > <xs:selector xpath=".//car"/> > <xs:field xpath=@regPlate"/> > </xs:keyRef> > </xs:element> > > Is the above a correct schema.
