Schema Node

Overview

In BizTalk Editor, the top of the schema hierarchy is always the Schema node, which cannot be renamed. The Schema node corresponds to the schema element in the XML Schema definition (XSD) language representation of the schema.

Note

In BizTalk Editor, the Schema node is represented with the string <Schema> in the schema tree view.

In general, the properties of the Schema node correspond to the attributes of the schema element in the XSD representation of the schema. For general information about node properties, see Node Properties. For reference information about the properties of the Schema node, see the Schema Node Properties [!INCLUDEui-guidance-developers-reference].

When you create a new XML schema in BizTalk Editor, the Schema node and one Root node are created automatically.

XSD representation

The following example shows, in bold type, the lines in the XSD representation of the schema that correspond to the <Schema> node in the tree view of the schema.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>  
<xs:schema xmlns="http://BizTalk_Server_Project1.Schema2"  
    xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003"  
    targetNamespace="http://BizTalk_Server_Project1.Schema2"  
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">  
    <xs:element name="Root">  
        <xs:complexType />  
    </xs:element>  
</xs:schema>
