Hi Martin,

thanks for your reply, could you explain why there are two https in the 
<xsi:schemaLoaction="..."> part. 
<root
     xmlns="http://example.com/2008/ns1"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://example.com/2008/ns1 
     http://example.com/schema.xsd">

     <foo>bar</foo>
   </root>

It seems to me that the schema is applied to the <root> element( I am
newbie 
so I am not sure about it), could you show me how to apply it to whole XML 
file?

Clara

Do you want to link an XML instance document to a schema? You can use 
the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation e.g.
   <root
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://example.com/schema.xsd">

     <foo>bar</foo>
   </root>
for that respectively xsi:schemaLocation
   <root
     xmlns="http://example.com/2008/ns1"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://example.com/2008/ns1 
http://example.com/schema.xsd">

     <foo>bar</foo>
   </root>

There are two URIs, the first is the namespace URI, the second points to 
the schema for that namespace.

The schema location is given on the root element, that is right, but the 
schema applies to the complete document.

See <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#schemaLocation> for a more 
detailed explanation.
