As I understand this thread, there is already an industry standard base schema that is about 300 pages long.
The question is, what is the exact mechanism that you use to derive a customized schema in such a way that a document that conforms to the customized schema will parse and validate against the base schema.

I am ignoring data from other namespaces) The standard solution for that is to have everyone agree on a base schema for Car and derive their customized CompanyXCars from that. Then CompanyXCar will be an instance of the shared Car and everything just works. If you can't get that agreement... you may be stuck with transcoding the documents from their source schema into your desired schema before operating on them. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
