xs:sequence

Synopsis

<xs:sequence
  id = "ID"
  maxOccurs = "( nonNegativeInteger | unbounded)"
  minOccurs = "nonNegativeInteger" >
  <!-- (  xs:annotation?,
        ( xs:element | xs:group | xs:choice | xs:sequence | xs:any )*
       )
  -->
</xs:sequence>

The xs:sequence element indicates that the elements represented by its child elements should appear at that position in the instance document in the order they’re listed here. The sequence must repeat at least minOccurs times and at most maxOccurs times. The default for both minOccurs and maxOccurs is 1. The maxOccurs attribute can be set to unbounded to indicate that the sequence may repeat indefinitely.
