RE: How to define a value space that is a cross-product of simpleType value spaces?

Thanks. Good idea. However, that's not quite what I am seeking.


The Family-name simpleType implements a value space. No labels are associated to it. Any number of labels could (later) be associated to it:



    <xs:element name="Family-name" type="Family-name" />



    <xs:element name="Surname" type="Family-name" />



    <xs:element name="Last-name" type="Family-name" />

I wish to proceed in a similar fashion with an aggregate value-space. That is, define the aggregate value space and then (later) associate any number of labels to it and to its component value spaces.

Sorry, looks like you want to aggregate the types into a new type, is so one could use a complexType consisting of the simpleTypes from your example, like following:

<xs:complexType name="Person-name">
   <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="familyName" type="Family-name"/>
      <xs:element name="middleInitial" type="Middle-initial"/>
      <xs:element name="givenName" type="Given-name"/>
   </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

The individual types viz. Family-name, Middle-initial and Given-name have their value-space already constrained in your example, so in that sense this new complexType also has it's value space constrained.

How about something like this for PersonName simpleType:

   <xs:simpleType name="Family-name">
       <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
           <xs:minLength value="3" />
           <xs:maxLength value="201" />
           <xs:pattern value="[a-zA-Z' \.\-]+\s+[A-Z]\s+[a-zA-Z' \.\-]+" />
       </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>
The length range [3-201] is reached using the addition of ranges of individual types : [1-100], [1-1], [1-100].
The pattern is almost an concatenation of the individual regexes that you are using for the 3 simpleTypes with following modifications ... the hyphen was not escaped in the regex, it should be, else it would signify range... added \s to allow for space(s) between middle name character and the either side of it.

Hi Folks,

Suppose this is the value space for "family name" values:

length: 1 - 100 characters
consists of the characters: a-z, A-Z, space, hyphen, period, and apostrophe

That value space is implemented using this simpleType:

   <xs:simpleType name="Family-name">
       <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
           <xs:minLength value="1" />
           <xs:maxLength value="100" />
           <xs:pattern value="[a-zA-Z' \.-]+" />
       </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>


Suppose this is the value space for "middle initial" values:

length: 1 character
consists of the characters: A-Z

That value space is implemented using this simpleType:

   <xs:simpleType name="Middle-initial">
       <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
           <xs:length value="1" />
           <xs:pattern value="[A-Z]+" />
       </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>


Suppose this is the value space for "given name" values:

length: 1 - 100 characters
consists of the characters: a-z, A-Z, space, hyphen, period, and apostrophe

That value space is implemented using this simpleType:

   <xs:simpleType name="Given-name">
       <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
           <xs:minLength value="1" />
           <xs:maxLength value="100" />
           <xs:pattern value="[a-zA-Z' \.-]+" />
       </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>


Now there are 3 user-defined value spaces. Let me denote them by F, M, G, respectively. (F = Family, M = Middle, G = Given)

I would like to aggregate them to create a "person name" value space. This is the value space for person name:

Person-name is the cross product: G x M x F

Here is an example of a value in the Person-name value space:

("Roger", "L", "Costello")

How do I implement the Person-name value space?
