Chapter 3 Building XML Models

Annotations (XSM)

Annotations are only available in models targeted with XSD.

You define annotations when you want to add information about an XML model. There are three kinds of annotations:

• Annotation - provides extra information on XML models or schemas. You can define multiple annotations at this level, and each can contain multiple documentation and/or application information tags.
• Documentation – is contained within an annotation and contains an URI reference or any well-formed XML content that gives extra information about XML objects or documents
• Application Information - is contained within an annotation and contains an URI reference or any well-formed XML content that is used by applications for processing instructions

Generated schema of a global annotation:

This global annotation is composed of a documentation, with a well-formed XML content (extract of a DTD file), and an application information.
