About xsd:schema Properties

The root element of every XML Schema document is the xsd:schema element. The xsd:schema element has the properties described in Table 73. Click the Tree tab, and then click the Schema node to view the properties for the xsd:schema element.

Table 73. 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.
`Default Final Definitions`
