30<div class="section"><p>For example, you have an XML schema file called Book.xsd that
syeshinbefd53e2005-07-27 18:16:40 +0000[diff] [blame]31contains a complex type called BookType. BookType contains 4 elements (title,
kpriceef160682006-08-29 18:08:31 +0000[diff] [blame]32author, year, and ISBN) and one <samp class="codeph">any</samp> element. The namespace
syeshinbefd53e2005-07-27 18:16:40 +0000[diff] [blame]33for the <samp class="codeph">any</samp> element is <samp class="codeph">##any</samp>. This means
34that in an instance document, you can insert any XML element to extend the
syeshind0bdb8e2005-10-27 17:44:14 +0000[diff] [blame]35definition of the BookType.</p>
kpriceef160682006-08-29 18:08:31 +0000[diff] [blame]36<p>You can also provide a more specific namespace.
37For example, you have another schema called My_Book.xsd, which contains a
38complex type called My_BookType. My_BookType contains 4 elements (title, author,
39year, and ISBN) and one <samp class="codeph">any</samp> element, but in this case the
40namespace for the BookType element is www.wesley.com. This means that in
41an instance document, you can insert any XML element to extend the definition
42of the BookType, provided that they belong to the namespace http://www.wesley.com.</p>
