<p>You can use XML schema tools to apply one of the following design patterns to an XML schema file:</p>
|
samaresh@338
|
55 |
<ul>
|
samaresh@338
|
56 |
<li><b>Venetian Blind.</b> In the Venetian Blind design, there is a single global element; all other elements are local. Element declarations are nested within a single global declaration, using named complex types and element groups. Complex types and element groups can be reused throughout the schema. Only the root element must be defined within the global namespace.</li>
|
samaresh@338
|
57 |
<li><b>Russian Doll.</b> In the Russian Doll design, there is a single global element; all other elements are local. Element declarations are nested within a single global declaration and element declarations can only be used once. Only the root element must be defined within the global namespace.</li>
|
samaresh@338
|
58 |
<li><b>Garden of Eden.</b> The Garden of Eden design is a combination of the Venetian Blind and Salami Slice designs. All elements and types are defined in the global namespace with the elements referenced as needed.</li>
|
samaresh@338
|
59 |
<li><b>Salami Slice.</b> In the Salami Slice design, all elements are global. There is no nesting of element declarations and element declarations can be reused throughout the schema. All elements must be defined within the global namespace.</li>
|
