Correct use of xsd:duration

Post by cberrymd »

I have an element named dateEntered. To be valid it must be within the past 2 weeks. This explains what I'm trying to get to in pseudocode.

attribute dateEntered
{
xsd:date
{
minInclusive ="today" - P14D
maxInclusive ="today"
}
} , # a date within the past two weeks

Can somebody help me get to the real code?

Hi,

You cannot do that in XML Schema and it is har do no it in any schema language I think, just because today is not clearly defined - is that the time when the instance is created or the time the instance is checked? If it is the later then it is really strange to see a document became invalid just because you perform the validation at a givem moment in time.

Best Regards,
George
