Hi Sandy, Your post was so comprehensive and I could clarify many doubts that I had about the implementation details of SCD and the relationship between XSModel and schema.
> - SCD is to address "schema components", not schema documents or fragments > of schema documents. Schema components are represented in Xerces using the > org.apache.xerces.xs interfaces (XSModel and friends). So the primary SCD > operations should on XSModels. XSModel is equivalent to the "schema > description component" mentioned in the SCD spec. > This was so helpful for me to understand the purpose of XSModel. Also, there are some points in your mail that I have to study more about and I don't get the difference between "a schema" and "a schema documet", when you say, > Given that there is no defined way to resolve an URI to a schema (note: > not a schema document), it'll often be difficult (and not very useful) to > work with absolute SCDs. > what is actually the difference between them? Thank you.
