We ran a similar study last year with 60+ industry schemas and if I remember correctly we found that substitution groups are used in 20% of schemas. The results of the study were presented at Xml 2005 and are available at http://www.idealliance.org/xmlusa/05/call/xmlpapers/49.1704/.49.html Stan Kitsis Microsoft Corporation -----Original Message----- From: xmlschema-dev-request@w3.org [mailto:xmlschema-dev-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Hugh Wallis Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 1:59 AM To: 'Boris Kolpackov'; Simon.Cox@csiro.au Cc: paul@xmlhelpline.com; David_E3@VERIFONE.com; mike@saxonica.com; xmlschema-dev@w3c.org; lists@jeffrafter.com; paul.downey@bt.com Subject: RE: Xml Schema profile Add XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) / http://www.xbrl.org to that list. It makes EXTENSIVE use of substitution groups and has done so for a number of years.

I was also somewhat surprised seeing this assumption. I did a quick search on our XML Schema repository which brought up the following well-known schemas besides the opengeospatiol.org's ones (GML, etc.): OVAL (Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language) / http://oval.mitre.org FpML (Financial products Markup Language) / http://www.fpml.org COLLADA (COLLAborative Design Activity) / http://www.collada.org HR-XML / http://www.hr-xml.org hth, -boris -- Boris Kolpackov Code Synthesis Tools CC http://www.codesynthesis.com Open-Source, Cross-Platform C++ XML Data Binding
