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

How about the following changes? More discussion of the bundleConstructor referencing element name below.

  <xs:complexType name="Bundle">
    <xs:complexContent>
      <xs:extension base="prov:Entity">
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:complexType name="BundleConstructor">
 <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
  <xs:group ref="prov:documentElements"/>
  <xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
 </xs:sequence>
 <xs:attribute ref="prov:id"/>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:element name="document" type="prov:Document" />
  <xs:complexType name="Document">
    <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xs:group ref="prov:documentElements" minOccurs="0"/>
  <xs:element name="bundleConstructor" type="prov:BundleConstructor" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

The group prov:documentElements does not contain a reference to prov:BundleConstructor.

With the modeling suggestion above I use prov:bundleConstructor, but like Stian I am not a big fan of how it reads in XML.

I like the following (in order of preference):

bundleContent
bundleRecords
bundleStatements
