Type NMTOKEN is NOT the same as type ID (although the lexical rules are the same). So use xs:ID. Fix this declaration: <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:NMTOKEN" use="required"/> Cheers, Tom P > The XML Schema: > --------------- > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" > elementFormDefault="qualified"> > <xs:element name="katalog"> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:sequence> > <xs:element name="book" maxOccurs="unbounded"> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:sequence> > <xs:element name="author" type="xs:string"/> > </xs:sequence> > <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:NMTOKEN" use="required"/> > </xs:complexType> > </xs:element> > </xs:sequence> > </xs:complexType> > <xs:key name="schluessel"> > <xs:selector xpath=".//book"/> > <xs:field xpath="@id"/> > </xs:key> > </xs:element> > </xs:schema> >
