lucrecia chiartanoSubject: XMLSchema - optional attributeGroup definition
Author: lucrecia chiartano
Date: 20 Jan 2005 06:53 AM

Hello,

Can anyone help me to find a way to reference a group of attributes as optional?
Here I describe my problem,
thanks a lot,

Lucrecia Chiartano

-----------------------

I must define within a schema a rule that allows an xml leaf-node to carry with it two attributes.
Both of them may be present or not, but if only one exists it must be a precise one (attribute1 within next examples).

(Ex1 :--> allowed <node attribute1="attr1" attribute2="attr2">nodetext</node>)
(Ex2 :--> allowed <node>nodetext</node>)
(Ex3 :--> allowed <node attribute1="attr1">nodetext</node>)
(Ex4 :--> NOT allowed <node attribute2="attr2">nodetext</node>)


If 'attribute1' and 'attribute2' where just tags instead of attributes I could bound the rule defining an optional group with a required tag ('attribute1') and an optional one ('attribute2').
But they must be attributes, and I found that they can be grouped only using the xsd:attributeGroup tag that admits not a 'minOccurs' or a 'use' attribute (and then cannot be referenced as optional).


Here's the code I'm using

<xsd:element name="tagName">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
<xsd:attributeGroup ref="attrGroupName"/>
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

....

<xsd:attributeGroup name="attrGroupName">
<xsd:attribute name="attr1" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:attribute name="attr2" type="xsd:string" use="optional"/>
</xsd:attributeGroup>

....

Lucrecia,


As far as i know XML Schema is not capable to express the attribute
presence conditionalized on another attribute.

You need to use a different schema language like Schematron to do it.

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the below problem:

I have to define a attribute group for 2 mutually inclusive data elements. In the below example if TO_DT is present FROM_DT has to be present and TO_DT is not present then FROM_DT is not present.

I thought of creating these as mandatory attributes and define attributegroup as optional but its not working:

<xs:attributeGroup name="DateRangeAttributes" id="Element_Common_545">
<xs:attribute name="TO_DT" type="xs:date" use="required" id="Element_Common_547"/>
<xs:attribute name="FROM_DT" type="xs:date" use="required" id="Element_Common_546"/>
</xs:attributeGroup>

Can anyone suggest a way to handle this using attributes

Thanks,
Siddharth

Attributes should be used to hold small amount of data like IDs or short strings and when the order on which they appear is not relevant.

For everything else elements are more flexible.
