XML Schema for 2 Dimensional Table

I am using Oxygen 8.2 to develop a Schema for a Database. I have come across a need to describe a Two Dimensional Table with an unbounded number of Rows and Columns and Cells for each Row and Column combination. I know how to use xs:sequence to describe a 1 dimensional list. But what is the best way to describe a 2 dimensional table with NxM cells in an XML Schema?
Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
You can define a row of the table as a sequence of maximum
maxColumnNumber cells. You have to replace
maxRowNumber and
maxColumnNumber with real numbers.
Code: Select all
<xs:element name="table">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence maxOccurs="maxRowNumber">
<xs:element name="row">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence maxOccurs="maxColumnNumber">
<xs:element ref="tableCellType"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Regards,
Sorin
