how xsd can represent different xml file?
if I have this XML data Main.xml
<SigmodRecord>
<issue>
<volume>11</volume>
<number>1</number>
<articles>
<article>

</article>
</articles>
</issue>
</SigmodRecord>
and this schema Main.xsd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="SigmodRecord">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="issue">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="volume" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="number" type="xsd:int" /&开发者_Python百科gt;
<xsd:element name="articles">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="article">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="title" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="initPage" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="endPage" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="authors">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="author">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute name="position" type="xsd:int" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
it becomes 2 fragments like this Frag1.xml:
<SigmodRecord>
<issue>
<volume>11</volume>
<number>1</number>
<articles>
<article>
<title>Annotated Bibliography on Data Design.</title>
<initPage>45</initPage>
<endPage>77</endPage>
</article>
<article>
<title>Architecture of Future Data Base Systems.</title>
<initPage>30</initPage>
<endPage>44</endPage>
</article>
<article>
<title>Database Directions III Workshop Review.</title>
<initPage>8</initPage>
<endPage>8</endPage>
</article>
<article>
<title>Errors in 'Process Synchronization in Database Systems'.</title>
<initPage>9</initPage>
<endPage>29</endPage>
</article>
</articles>
</issue>
</SigmodRecord>
Frag2.xml:
<SigmodRecord>
<authors>
<author position="00">Anthony I. Wasserman</author>
<author position="01">Karen Botnich</author>
</authors>
<authors>
<author position="00">Lawrence A. Rowe</author>
<author position="01">Michael Stonebraker</author>
</authors>
<authors>
<author position="00">Tom Cook</author>
</authors>
<authors>
<author position="00">Philip A. Bernstein</author>
<author position="01">Marco A. Casanova</author>
<author position="02">Nathan Goodman</author>
</authors>
</SigmodRecord>
how can I use one schema that can represent both of Fragments with keeping the original structure of the first XML. In other words, is there any way to make Main.xsd represent Frag1.xsd+frag2.xsd I do not want 2 schema only one!!? Thanks in advance
The schema you are looking for looks something like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="SigmodRecord">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="issue">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="volume" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="number" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="articles">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="article">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="title" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="initPage" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="endPage" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element ref="authors"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element ref="authors"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="authors">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="author">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute name="position" type="xsd:int" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
This schema will work for all the 3 xml fragments.
Seems like @Devendra D. Chavan already provided a solution for you. I just want to provide general rule Any global element defined in xsd can be a potential root element in the instance document
It looks to me as if you should make the content model for SigmodRecord be an xs:choice with the two alternatives being Authors or Issue.
You'll get much more reusability of the definitions in the schema if you use more global top-level element (and perhaps type) declarations. A deeply nested schema like this, with only one top-level element declaration, can only describe one input document format - there's no provision for elements such as Author or Affiliation appearing in different places in different messages.
Some people like to make use of the xsi:type attribute for this kind of scenario: two alternative types for the SigmodRecord element, selected in the instance by using <SigmodRecord xsi:type="authors">
or <SigmodRecord xsi:type="issue">
.
