By using co-occurrence constraints.  You can switch the constraint 
language from W3C Schema to ISO/IEC 19757-2 RELAX-NG in order to 
express the constraint at the model level, or you can employ ISO/IEC 
19757-3 Schematron in order to post-process your information to 
confirm the co-occurrence constraints are not violated.

I hope this helps.
