Re: Multiple XML schema files for a common target namespace (PROV-ISSUE-608)

I've tested and found it to be easy to do several schemas in the same
namespace as long as they just <xsi:include> each-other.


So you can have an hierarchy of imports like:

prov.xsd
  -- imports core.xsd
  -- imports collection.xsd
  ---- imports core.xsd
  -- imports links.xsd
  ---- imports core.xsd

and so the top-level prov.xsd simply includes 2-3 <xsd:imports> of the
underlying components.


As far as I could figure it out, it means in the extensions the
easiest way to 'fit in' would be to use abstract elements and
substitution groups.

See   http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/ProvXMLNamespaces for a
discussion of the different alternatives.

I've also got some test-schemas with this working, but I have not
committed them yet as they are on a different machine.
