Sandy, is right. To me, "schema" is a generic term, representing a logical assembly of schema components (using notions like elements, attributes, cardinality and so on). We cannot identify a "schema" in a sense which Sandy explained, with a URI (in a standard way, as Sandy explained). Whereas, "schema document" is some physical representation of the schema (say a file on local file system, or a web server), which is normally identifiable with some URI. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
