Hi everybody,
I have read several documentations and UML Diagrams but everything is not
clear so I am looking for a piece of advice to help me working with the
XML Schema Infoset Model. A documentation explaining what's a particle, a
term, because I have some difficulties working with the Infoset Model when
things become touchy. Like definition of complex type with complex content
or getting the annotations of an element in a sequence...
Thanks by advance.

Thanks for helping me. I think I understood what a
XSDComplexTypeDefinition is made of.
If the contentTypeCategory is mixed,
Get the particle and its term may be of three kinds
-XSDModelGroup
-XSDElementDeclaration
-XSDWildCard
With this, you can work with complexType defined with sequence, choice and
elements within.
I suppose for a complexType defined with a simpleContent, you do something
like this:
case XSDContentTypeCategory.SIMPLE:
{
XSDSimpleTypeDefinition xsdSimpleTypeDefinition =
(XSDSimpleTypeDefinition)type.getContentType();
and you play with the simpleType
But if the complexType is defined with a complexContent.
Is there something to handle this kind of declaration?
Could you tell me more about the XML Schema Infoset Model Development Team?
How many members? Full time working? How to participate?
Maybe that's not the good place for these questions...

Jie,
For a complex type definition with complex content (mixed or not), the
content type will be a particle with a model group that in turn has more
particles with model groups, elements, and wildcards. (The point being
that the top level particle will always have a model group as the term.)
The committers for the XSD project are listed here:
http://www.eclipse.org/technology/commit.html
I'm effectively the only person maintaining XSD as one of my part time
jobs. The team's full time jobs are focused on EMF/SDO development.
Right now there is essentially no new development work on XSD; the code
base is very stable. Contribution of interesting utilities would be
most welcome. EMF corner is a good place to share your work with others...

Jie,
There is no hidden documentation so what you see is all there is. The
model very closely mirrors what's describe in the spec, but that's not
exactly a source of readable documentation. It might still help to read
the section about particles so that you can ask more specific questions.
