Why not use
<xs:restriction base=xs:string >
<xs:enumeration value="1 male" />
<xs:enumeration value="2 female" />
</xs:restriction>

Subject: XML schema for ordinal/nominal variables
Dear all,
I would like to define nominal/ordinal variables as XML schema. Both
types
of variables are characterized by code/string pairs. Here code is a real
number.
Example of the nominal variable Gender:
code/string
#######
1/male
0/female
Example of the ordinal variable Agreement:
code/string
#######
0/strongly disagree
1/disagree
2/agree
3/strongly agree
My first attempt to define 'Gender' is this:
<xs:element name = "gender" >
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base = "xs:string" >
<xs:pattern value "0 female | 1 male" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
Could this be improved?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Christian Setzkorn
