Am I right in thinking that datatyping at element level ie <xs:element name="num" type="xs:integer">
and specifying a choice of attribute values ie
<xs:attribute name="kind">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:enumeration value="volume_number"/>
<xs:enumeration value="page_range"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:attribute>
......does not go together??????
**************************
Setting out to convert the following DTD element specification...
<!ELEMENT num (#PCDATA | emph)*>
<!ATTLIST num
kind (volume_number | page_range) #REQUIRED>
... into Schema....
<xs:element name="num">
<xs:complexType mixed="true">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="emph"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="kind" use="required">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:enumeration value="volume_number"/>
<xs:enumeration value="page_range"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:attribute>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
.... I realised, that if I want to make use of the additional datatyping capabilites of Schema (ie adding a datatype of xs:integer to the element "num" to allow numerical element content only, for example), I cannot at the same time specify a choice of required attribute values, i.e. volume_number and page_range for this element. As soon as I give the element a datatype
ie <xs:element name="num" type="xs:integer"> no further child element or attribute specifications are allowed...
I know I can set the integer at the attribute level, which means that the data needs to be entered within the <num ...."31"> tag rather than between an opening and closing
<num kind="volume_number">31</num>
but the element is part of a digitisation project template for transcribers and the idea is, to set up the template in such a way that it can check data entry at element level, ie keyers only need to enter data between element tags, not at attribute level....
I guess I am stuck with adding child elements to the <num> element ie <volume_number> <page_range> and add some datatyping to these...???
