[oXygen-user] XML Schema & XInclude ?

[George Cristian Bina]

Dear Timothy,

oXygen has an option "Enable XInclude processing" that I believe is 
enabled by default.
When that is enables the validation against XML Schema is performed 
after XInclude processing, that means the XML Schema should not care 
about defining the xi:include element but it should take into account 
that the included fragment will have an xml:base attribute pointing to 
the location it was included from and probably also an xml:lang. So for 
instance if you want to have scope elements inside scopes and you plan 
to include scope elements from other documents using XInclude then you 
should define xml:base (and xml:lang) to be allowed in the scope element.

When the XInclude processing is not enabled then oXygen will validate 
the document as it is against the specified XML Schema. In that case you 
need to refer to the xi:include element inside the schema, as in your 
sample. The problem in your case is the wrong namespace that you used in 
import, the correct nemespace is http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude, that 
is not with 2003.

Best Regards,
George
