I am putting together an XSD schema to describe an existing GeoRSS feed, but I am stumbling trying to use the external georss.xsd to validate an element of type georss:point
. I've reduced the problem to the smallest components thusly:
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<this>
<apoint>45.256 -71.92</apoint>
</this>
XSD:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss">
<xs:import namespace="http://www.georss.org/georss"
schemaLocation="http://georss.org/xml/1.1/georss.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="this">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="apoint" type="georss:point"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
If I make apoint type "xs: string" instead of "georss: point", the XML validates happily against the XSD, but as soon as I reference an imported type (georss: point), my XML validator (Notepad++ | XML Tools) "cannot parse the schema". What am I doing wrong?
