Model External Schemas page

A schema is an XML-written text defining the content and structure of an

XML document. An XML model is a graphic representation of a schema.

You can use the following tools to reuse in your model global objects from other schemas:

Tool	Tooltip	Description
	Add Include	Adds a specified schema file to be included in the
		target namespace of the current schema
	Add Import	Adds a specified namespace whose schema
		components are referenced by the current schema
	Add Redefine	Adds a specified schema file whose simple and
		complex types, groups and attribute groups can be
		redefined in the current schema
	Add Annotation	Adds an annotation to the model to provide
		documentation or application information

For more information on these items, see chapter Building an XML model.
