[OAI-implementers] Schema for Vanilla XML?

[Simeon Warner]

Hi Tony,

We have dealt with this in the context of exchanging ORE resource maps via 
OAI-PMH [1]. One can create a schema that says that inside a wrapper element 
then content need only be well-formed and not accord to a schema. You can see 
this in the schema for RDF content:

http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/rdf.xsd

which defines an <RDF> wrapper element and says that the content is:

<sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
   <any namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
</sequence>


Cheers,
Simeon
