This component schema definition provides attribute group declarations for LOM data elements to support schema-based validation of uniqueness constraints within a LOM XML instance where the exact set of attributes associated with each element has to be as specified by the LOM XML Schema binding (i.e., where extra attributes to enforce uniqueness have to be avoided). Duplicate declarations are included as comments for completeness. These declarations should remain commented out or they can be removed completely. NOTE: The absence of the enforcement of the uniqueness constraints does not relieve a particular LOM XML instance from satisfying the uniqueness constraints described in the LOMv1.0 base schema. Applications that require the use of the unique/loose.xsd component XSD have to enforce those uniqueness constraints by other means. This file has been modified by the Knowledge Media Institute of the University Koblenz-Landau (http://iwm.uni-koblenz.de). It contains the following changes: 1) Instead of "unique/strict.xsd" the schema "unique/loose.xsd" is imported because this reflects what is said in 1484.12.3-2005, page 35 (section C.1.3) 2) In all component XSDs the schemaLocation attribute was amended to the xs:import and xs:include statements. This enables the usage of the schemas with tools which don't deal well with missing schemaLocation informations. This file is available at "http://iwm.uni-koblenz.de/xsd/IEEE-LOM/loose"
