Re: semantics in schema (xsd)


semantics of abstract in xsd
Hmmm?I don't think that approach will work in this case, as the
top-level element name is the same in both cases ("human"). Here's my
thought process:

(1) Declare abstract element:

<xsd:element name="humanelement" abstract="true"/>

(2) Declare first substitutable element:

<xsd:element name="human" type="femaletype"
substitutionGroup="humanelement"/>

(3) Declare second substitutable element:

<xsd:element name="human" type="maletype"
substitutionGroup="humanelement"/>

This is where the problem lies - you are attempting to 2 global elements
named "human" of different data types.
