ZIG Holdings XML Schema version 6a

Dear All.

ONE-2 implementations ( http://www.one-2.org/ ) have identified a few
technical problems in the ZIG Holdings XML Schema version 5h. I have
therefore produced a new draft version 6a of the Holdings XML Schema. This
version is called HoldingsSchema6a.xsd .

The semantic content of the new version is designed to be almost identical
to the previous version. The most important change is that the element type
"enumeration" has been renamed "Enumeration", because term "enumeration" is
part of the Schema syntax.

The underlying ZIG Holdings Abstract Schema has not been changed:
  http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/holdings.html

The new version 6a of the XML Schema (XSD) is available here: 
  http://www.portia.dk/zholdings/Holdings6a/HoldingsSchema6a.xsd

An annotated HTML version with cross-references is available here (>1
Megabyte):
 
http://www.portia.dk/zholdings/Holdings6a/HoldingsSchema6a_xsd/HoldingsSchem
a6a.htm

This XSD Schema version 6a complies with the W3C Candidate Recommendation
XML Schema syntax from 23. October 2000:
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-xmlschema-0-20001024/

A semantically equivalent XML Schema (XDR) based on the W3C XML-Data Note
from 5. January 1998 is available here:
  http://www.portia.dk/zholdings/Holdings6a/HoldingsSchema6a.xdr

The XML Schema makes extensive use of certain features, which are not
readily modelled by an equivalent SGML DTD.
