Atomic types are all the simple types -built into the XML schema language.</li> -<li><b><span class="uicontrol">list</span></b>. List types are comprised of sequences -of atomic types. They have values that are comprised of finite-length sequences -of atomic values. </li> -<li><b><span class="uicontrol">union</span></b>.
