Hi,

I was wondering if EMF supported xsd:override?

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/#override-schema

I noticed that there was no support for xsd:redefine (which is now deprecated), and it made me wonder if override was supported?

Thanks

Rob

Rob,

Oh my goodness, they replaced what was already an abomination with
something that looks as bad if not worse. No effort has gone into
supporting XML Schema 1.1 in the XSD model and without that preliminary
support, there's no possibility to map any of these things onto Ecore.
Can you imagine how you'd map this onto Java? I.e., replace some
existing class with a new one that's totally different. Good luck with
that...

Thanks Ed, I assumed that would be the case - I have no idea why it would be something people would really want to do.

Rob,

I guess some people really like the idea of macro substitution. You can
imagine it might be easier to maintain different (incompatible) versions
of some schema, but the impact on tooling is extreme. How does a person
manage a conceptual schema that's so different from the concrete one
they can actually see? Oh well, I know from experience that committee
design involves brilliant people designing amazing things that are often
beyond the grasp of the common person intended to use it.
