Yes, it is the correct way to specify it but the xsi:schemalocation attribute is not
allowed on the xsd:schema element. In order to do this you have to add the following
DOCTYPE declaration at the top of your schema document:
<!DOCTYPE xsd:schema [
<!ENTITY % schemaAttrs 'xsi:schemaLocation CDATA #IMPLIED
xmlns:xsi CDATA #IMPLIED'>
]>
After you have done this you can add the xsi:schemaLocation attribute to your xsd:schema
element and it would look something like this:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd">
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
