Referencing XDR Schemas in XML Documents
To reference an XML-Data Reduced (XDR) schema from an XML document, include a schema namespace declaration, as in the following XML document.
Example
The following example shows an XML document that references an XDR schema, yourschema.xml.
<book xmlns="x-schema:yourschema.xml"> <title>Presenting XML</title> <author>Richard Light</author> </book>
In MSXML 2.0 and later, a schema can be included inline within the document that references it. The pound sign (#) before the schema name indicates that the schema is inline.
Example
The following example shows an XML document that references an inline XDR schema.
<root xmlns:data="x-schema:#inLineSchema
">
<Schema name ="inLineSchema"
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data">
<ElementType name="myelement"/>
</Schema>
<data:myelement>inline example</data:myelement>
</root>
