xml - why can't I have an xs:element using ref as a global element in a XSD? -

-

i experimenting ref attributes in <xsd:element> , don't following:

while <xsd:element> ref attribute can defined in non-global scope (i.e. not directly below <schema>), in:

ref1.xsd

<?xml version="1.0"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema" targetnamespace="http://www.dummy-example.com" xmlns:foo="http://www.dummy-example.com">   <xs:element name="a" type ="xs:string"/>  <xs:element name="b">     <xs:complextype>         <xs:sequence>             <xs:element ref="foo:a"/>         </xs:sequence>     </xs:complextype> </xs:element> </xs:schema>

so that, e.g. following validates xmllint:

ref1.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?> <foo:b xmlns:foo="http://www.dummy-example.com">     <foo:a>whatever ...</foo:a> </foo:b>

however, cannot have referencing element directly @ global level. e.g. following:

ref2.xsd

<?xml version="1.0"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema" targetnamespace="http://www.dummy-example.com" xmlns:foo="http://www.dummy-example.com">     <xs:element name="a" type ="xs:string"/>     <xs:element ref="foo:a"/> </xs:schema>

does not validate ref2.xml below:

ref2.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?> <foo:a xmlns:foo="http://www.dummy-example.com">     whatever  </foo:a>

in fact xmlint complains during parsing of xsd file, before reaching xml file:

ref2.xsd:6: element element: schemas parser error : element '{http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema}element': attribute 'name' required missing.

update

following accepted answer, found constraint spelled out in xml schema primer:

one caveat global declarations cannot contain references; global declarations must identify simple , complex types directly.

what expect top level ref provide top level declaration doesn't give you? if

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema" targetnamespace="http://www.dummy-example.com" xmlns:foo="http://www.dummy-example.com">     <xs:element name="a" type ="xs:string"/>     <xs:element ref="foo:a"/> </xs:schema>

were allowed, "a document conforming schema can have top level element named a in http://www.dummy-example.com namespace, or alternatively top level element named a in http://www.dummy-example.com namespace" - add nothing beyond simply

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema" targetnamespace="http://www.dummy-example.com" xmlns:foo="http://www.dummy-example.com">     <xs:element name="a" type ="xs:string"/> </xs:schema>

i have google question , find answer in day. know, data design many many table have list column,and mark pk , fk. why er-diagram have find this? data design process of designing database. main output of data design detailed logical data model of database. some people data design includes of needed logical , physical design choices , physical storage parameters needed generate design in data definition language. technically, database analysis, database analysts (dbas) trained do. while person can both data design , database analysis, these 2 different tasks. data design models data. database analysis takes model , applies 1 or more database engines (relational, hierarchical, nosql). a logical data model 1 of main outputs of data design. data model represented entity relationship diagram, or er diagram.
