Chapter 3 Building an XML model
An XML diagram is a graphical view of an XML model.
The following example shows the diagram of the Resume XML model:
The main objects of an XML model are represented by symbols in its diagram.
Objects in a diagram
Some objects may not appear in a diagram because they do not have a symbol or this symbol has been deleted or hidden.
Always check the existence of objects in the Browser tree view.
If an XML model is too large or too complex, you can create several diagrams to have partial views of the model and focus on certain objects.
The following example displays the Achievement diagram of the Resume XML model:
The original diagram of the Resume XML model being too large (see first picture), it has been split into five diagrams (Main, Contact, Achievement, Description and Address) corresponding to the five main objects of the model.
