Name

xs:NOTATION — Emulation of the XML 1.0 feature.

Derived from:

xs:anySimpleType

Primary:

xs:NOTATION

Known subtypes:

none

Facets:

xs:enumeration, xs:length, xs:maxLength, xs:minLength, xs:pattern, xs:whiteSpace

<xs:simpleType name="NOTATION" id="NOTATION">
  <xs:restriction base="xs:anySimpleType">
    <xs:whiteSpace value="collapse" fixed="true"/>
  </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

Description

The value and lexical spaces of xs:NOTATION are references to notations declared though the xs:notation element. The use of this element and datatype is, therefore, a namespace-aware emulation of the NOTATION feature of XML 1.0.

Restrictions

Notations are very seldom used in real-world applications.

One cannot use xs:notation directly, but must derive it as shown in the Example.

Example

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:notation name="jpeg" public="image/jpeg" system="file:///usr/bin/xv"/> <xs:notation name="gif" public="image/gif" system="file:///usr/bin/xv"/> <xs:notation name="png" public="image/png" system="file:///usr/bin/xv"/> <xs:notation name="svg" public="image/svg" system="file:///usr/bin/xsmiles"/> <xs:notation name="pdf" public="application/pdf" system="file:///usr/bin/acroread"/> <xs:simpleType name="graphicalFormat"> <xs:restriction base="xs:NOTATION"> <xs:enumeration value="jpeg"/> <xs:enumeration value="gif"/> <xs:enumeration value="png"/> <xs:enumeration value="svg"/> <xs:enumeration value="pdf"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> <xs:element name="picture"> ...
