[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: XPath question with regards to Schematron rule
Hi Paul,
You can do that with something like:
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<sch:pattern name="Check references.">
<sch:rule context="F">
<sch:assert
test="count(G)=../../D[@name=current()/@ref]/@num">Number of G elements
should match the refered D num
attribute value.</sch:assert>
</sch:rule>
</sch:pattern>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
A possible complete schema (generated with Trang from the instance
document and annotated with Schematron) can look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<sch:title>Test schematron schema</sch:title>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element name="A">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="B"/>
<xs:element ref="C"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="B">
<xs:complexType/>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="C">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="D"/>
<xs:element ref="E"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="D">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" use="required" type="xs:NCName"/>
<xs:attribute name="num" use="required" type="xs:integer"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="E">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="F"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="F">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<sch:pattern name="Check references.">
<sch:rule context="F">
<sch:assert
test="count(G)=../../D[@name=current()/@ref]/@num">Number of G elements
should match the refered D num
attribute value.</sch:assert>
</sch:rule>
</sch:pattern>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="G"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="name" use="required" type="xs:NCName"/>
<xs:attribute name="ref" use="required" type="xs:NCName"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="G">
<xs:complexType/>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Hope that helps,
George
