- Thread-topic: Is possible to have choice type facility for an attribute of schema
You can declare 3 different local versions of element "a", each with a
different attribute - or one global version and 2 local. This should allow what
you need.

In my schema, the same element can have diffenet
view.
e.g. <a id="123" name="test"/> <a id="123"
view="true"/> <a id="123" alt="true"/>
I am not interested to make name, view and alt attributes
optional. One of these attributes must be there in <a> element. Which
necessiates me for looking into a choice kind of
functionality.

Sadly, no.
I've never quite understood why: XML Schema when to a lot
of efforts to make elements and attributes symmetric, but they are handled
quite differently in content models.

Like the way
choice is applied for an element, I want same type of functionality for
attributes too.
I want sort
of like below:
<xsd:element
name="name"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:choice> <xsd:attribute
name="operator" type="OperatorType" default="EQUALS"
use="required"/> <xsd:attribute name="value"
type="xsd:string"
use="required"/> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element>
regards,
Ranjan
