= Example Base W3C XML Schemas =

Note: These XML schemas are presently made available as attachments to this Wiki page. This is a temporary measure, and, when stable, they will be assigned persistent URIs on the DCMI Web site.

  * Schema: [attachment:dcx.xsd dcx.xsd][[BR]]Target XML Namespace: `http://purl.org/dc/xml/`
    * declares the elements `dcx:descriptionSet`, `dcx:description`, `dcx:valueString`, `dcx:XMLRepresentation`, `dcx:binaryRepresentation`
    * defines a set of named complex types that describe the default content models for these elements
    * declares the attributes `dcx:resourceURI`, `dcx:valueURI`, `dcx:vocabEncSchemeURI`, `dcx:vocabEncSchemeQName`,  `dcx:syntaxEncSchemeURI`, `dcx:syntaxEncSchemeQName`, `dcx:representationURI`, `dcx:descriptionId`, `dcx:descriptionRef`

  * Schema: [attachment:dc.xsd dc.xsd][[BR]]Target XML Namespace: `http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/`
    * declares a set of Statement Elements to represent ''statements'' referring to the 15 ''properties'' of the DCMES
    * defines a complex type `dc:DescriptionElement` as a convenience for schema authors who need to define a Description Element allowing all of these Statement Elements as child elements

  * Schema: [attachment:dcterms.xsd dcterms.xsd][[BR]]Target XML Namespace: `http://purl.org/dc/terms/`
    * declares a set of Statement Elements to represent ''statements'' referring to the ''properties'' of the DC Terms vocabulary
    * defines a complex type `dcterms:DescriptionElement` as a convenience for schema authors who need to define a Description Element allowing all of these Statement Elements as child elements

  * Schema: [attachment:dcmitype.xsd dcmitype.xsd][[BR]]Target XML Namespace: `http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/`
    * defines a set of named simple types which specify an enumerated lists of strings, URIs and XML QNames for referring to the classes of the DCMI Type Vocabulary
