XML schema design for environment-specific types based on base types
First Claim
1. A method for defining an environment-specific XML type, the method comprising:
- defining an environment-specific XML Schema name space;
defining, in the environment-specific name space, an environment-specific XML base type, wherein the environment-specific XML base type is based on an XML base type; and
deriving an anonymous environment-specific final type, on an as-needed basis, from the environment-specific XML base type.

Abstract
XML Schema Designs for environment-specific types based on XML base types are disclosed. The invention provides a series of “base types” in the XML Schema. Each base type is in an environment-specific XML Schema namespace that disambiguates the environment'"'"'s types from all other types defined by any other environment. The XML Schema Design then defines the final type as an anonymous type, derived from the environment-specific base type. The base type is defined with any XML Schema type facets that apply to all derivatives of the base type, and the anonymous final type is defined with additional XML Schema type facets to fully describe the type.
