These are definitely all separate occurrences of the same element. So in this case, you could declare a global "price" element and reference it in 3 places as follows: <xs:element name="price" type="xs:double"/> <!-- Global declaration --> <xs:element name="suit"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="price"/> <xs:element name="top"> <xs:complextype> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="price"/> <xs:element name="fabric" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="trousers"> <xs:complexType> <xs:element ref="price"/> <xs:complexType> <xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </element> ... </schema> This way, if you change the datatype of "price" in the future, it will propagate to all the references.
