<xsd:simpleType name="GTINType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
    <xsd:length value="13"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Example 6.6 - A user-defined simple type based on the built-in xsd:string type but augmented to include a length restriction.>>


<xsd:simpleType name="ESRBRatingType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
    <xsd:enumeration value="EC"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="E"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="E10+"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="T"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="M"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="AO"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="RP"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Example 6.7 - An enumerated list of values expressed through the repeated use of the xsd:enumeration facet.


<xsd:simpleType name="TitleType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
    <xsd:minLength value="3"/>
    <xsd:maxLength value="40"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Example 6.8 - An example of how a value can be restricted to a range of lengths using the xsd:minLength and
xsd:maxLength facets.


<xsd:simpleType name="NumberOfPlayersType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:int">
    <xsd:minInclusive value="1"/>
    <xsd:maxInclusive value="5"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Example 6.9 - A simple type limited to a range of values using the two highlighted facets.ns>


<xsd:simpleType name="PriceType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:decimal">
    <xsd:totalDigits value="8"/>
    <xsd:fractionDigits value="2"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Example 6.10 - Facets used to define the precision and scale of decimals. 


<xsd:simpleType name="ProductIDType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
    <xsd:pattern value="[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{4}"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Example 6.11 - A regular expression pattern facet.


<title language="en">Service Blaster 2000</title>

<numberOfPlayers>
  <minimum>1</minimum>
  <maximum>4</maximum>
</numberOfPlayers>

<rating value="EC"/>

<desc language="en">This is a <i>great</i> game.</desc>

Example 6.12 - Elements with complex types.


<xsd:complexType name="TitleType">
  <xsd:simpleContent>
    <xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
      <xsd:attribute name="language" type="xsd:language"/>
    </xsd:extension>
  </xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>

Example 6.13 - A complex type with simple content.


<xsd:complexType name="NumberOfPlayersRangeType">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="minimum" type="NumberOfPlayersType"/>
    <xsd:element name="maximum" type="NumberOfPlayersType"
      minOccurs="0"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:attribute name="limited" type="xsd:boolean"
    use="required"/>
</xsd:complexType>

Example 6.14 - A complex type with element-only content.


<xsd:complexType name="RatingType">
  <xsd:attribute name="value" type="ESRBRatingType"/>
</xsd:complexType>
