I'm working on a new schema and have managed to get much of what I
need done, but I'm afraid that I'm doing some things incorrectly in
an effort to get it working. Sort of like adding closing parens to
LISP code until it works. ;)
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish....
A schema that references several other schemas in which are defined
an number of types. Everything to be pulled together by a catalog file.
I've included a heavily truncated and simplified version of what I'm
working with. My questions are as follows...
1). Have I created an operable catalog file
2). Have I correctly built the <schema/> headers for the subsequent
files?
3). If 1 & 2 are correct, why must I import the schemas in order to
use their defined elements? Shouldn't that be handled via my catalog
file and the <schema/> declarations?
I'd appreciate any input (good or bad) as to what I've provided
below. I have other questions, but their are predicated on the
answers to my questions above. ;)
