The Address Standard XSD Data Model
(see Appendix A for the Complete XSD)

Content and Classification use the word element in a way that differs slightly from its use in designing XML document schemes.

• Content and Classification use element to describe a taxonomy facet for parsing an address.
• XML Scheme Document (XSD) uses element to describe an XML tag.

Some Content and Classification elements become XSD elements and others become XSD attributes of other XSD elements.

The Address Standard XSD has been designed by creating a simple type for almost every thing in Content and Classification. The simple data type is a place to describe the form of data that populates the simple type. Many times no attempt to provide an automatable test for correctness of form is given in the XSD. Local implementers may attempt such tests outside the scope of the Address standard.

From the simple types simple elements are created. Simple elements and some simple types cluster into complex elements. Finally, elements are gathered into the global elements that comprise the top level XML data types.
