Hello, 

i am a developer from Jena. In the project BEXIS ++ I am working on the data management system "BEXIS 2".
In our software we have a Metadata Structure import.

I am working on the xsd import and test different metadata standards.
(abcd, darwincore, eml-dataset, gbif, idiv, etc.)
Currently i test your standard and have a question.

I noticed the elements are not assigned to any type.

<xs: element name = "givenName" minOccurs = "0" />
<xs: elementName = "familyName" minOccurs = "0" />
<xs: element name = "affiliation" minOccurs = "0" maxOccurs = "unbounded" />
<xs: element name = "geoLocationPlace" minOccurs = "0" />

W3C is described.

For complete declarations, top-level or local, the type attribute is defined as global-type definition. Otherwise an anonymous <simpleType> or <complexType> is provided inline.

I have changed this for my parser so that I give each element the type string.
Now my import works: D

<xs: elementName = "givenName" minOccurs = "0" type = "xs: string" />
<xs: elementName = "familyName" minOccurs = "0" type = "xs: string" />
<xs: element name = "affiliation" minOccurs = "0" maxOccurs = "unbounded type =" xs: string "/>
<xs: elementname = "geoLocationPlace" minOccurs = "0" type = "xs: string" />


Best regards
