xsd:uriReference

[richard]

Hi All,

I seem to be unable to validate a schema using this datatype:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="MyURI" type="xsd:uriReference"/>
</xsd:schema>


XMLSpy tells me:
"xsd:uriReference" must refer to an existing simple or complex type.

Is there something wrong with this? The textbook I'm using has
examples using this type.

Thanks for any help.
Richard

I think there is xsd:anyURI but not xsd:uriReference.

Thanks for the link Martin.

The book I'm using,'XML for the World Wide Web' by Elizabeth Castro
(2001) mentions several other datatypes which don't appear in that
chart. For example:
xsd:year
xsd:timeInstant
xsd:month

Maybe the final spec for XML Schema didn't include them. The book says
it's based on the 'last call' working draft.

Thanks for your help.
