I have a problem in defining a schema for my content type “taxonomy”, and precisely with the tag.

can contain free XML as follows (example1)

but it can contain also a simple string as (example2)

and it can also contain a mixed content such as (example3)

I have tried declaring as a xs:string but it goes crazy when
it receives some unescaped < or > char,

I have also tried declaring as a subtype named “textareaType” which has the following schema

<xs:complexType name = “textareaType”>
<xs:sequence minOccurs = “0” maxOccurs = “unbounded”>
<xs:any processContents = “skip”></xs:any>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:anyAttribute processContents = “skip”></xs:anyAttribute>
</xs:complexType>

but again, it fails accepting contents that are not XML such as
example2 or example3

Is there any way to tell Tamino to accept anything under a certain tag?

Thank you in advance of your answers

Hi Valentina

there are different ways to solve this

(1) do not define a type for the element at all - like
<xs:element name=“keywords”/>
This is effectively equivalent to type=“xs:anyType”
(2) you may declare it as mixed content:
<xs:element name=“keywords”>
<xs:complexType mixed=“true”>
xs:sequence…</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
(3) Use open content - possibly non-desired side-effect: additional child
elements / attributes will be allowed for all other complex typed elements
