-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Documents structure and data models are, or should be, distinct. XSD is designed for use in defining the structure of XML documents. Unless your data _is_ a set of documents, or naturally isomorphic to a set of documents, starting out by trying to model it with XSD is unlikely to be a good idea. I would recommend modelling your data first, then looking at your document requirements together with your data model to define your document structure. ht - -- Henry S.
