[Miase-discuss] Schema annotations

[Richard A. <ra...@st...>]

Hi all,
  Just wondering, it is possible to add <xsd:annotation><xsd:appinfo> elements
  into a schema for tool-specific customization of  schema processing.  
Is this tolerable in the sed-ml schema, or would it clutter up the  
schema too much?

  Just wondered as Dagmar's last change ( to add the notes/annotation  
elements) causes a namespace conflict to the JAXB schema parser with  
the elements of the same name defined in sbml-mathml. One way round  
this is to add this jaxb specific annotations in the .xsd file to  
produce classes with different names. An alternative is to specify  
instructions in a separate 'binding' file, this would be ideal but  
I've not got it to work yet.

  Basically it would add:

  	<xs:annotation>
	 <xs:appinfo>
            <jxb:class name="SedMLNotes">
            </jxb:class>
          </xs:appinfo>
        </xs:annotation>
  into the 'notes' definition and similarly into the 'annotation' definition.

  I have a feeling that this will be frowned upon but I just wanted to  
make sure before ruling it out :)

            Thanks
             Richard
