In general, you'll want to declare local <title> elements for those 
places in which their declarations differ from the global declarations. This is 
necessary because these differing <title> elements have the same name as 
the global <title> element but a different format.

  Hi folks

I have defined a W3C XML Schema that allows markup 
  of Policy documents. (BTW - I am new at schema design!)

A valid xml 
  structure follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<policy xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="myschema.xsd">
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><section>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><X-TAB>        </X-TAB><title>Section 1 Title</title>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><X-TAB>        </X-TAB><clause>string text</clause>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB></section>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><section>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><X-TAB>        </X-TAB><title>Section 2 Title</title>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><X-TAB>        </X-TAB><clause>string text</clause>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><X-TAB>        </X-TAB><clause>more text</clause>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB></section>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><section>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><X-TAB>        </X-TAB><title>Section 3 Title</title>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB><X-TAB>        </X-TAB><clause>text - <link 
  href="http://www.website.com/">a link</link></clause>
<X-TAB>        </X-TAB></section>
</policy>

So you can see 
  that each main section of a document is marked up as a 
  <section></section>, and each section must have a 
  <title></title>

No problem, the schema works fine as far as 
  I have so far tested.

What I wish to do though, is enforce two specific 
  <section>'s : in other words, the first <section> in each document 
  will always have a specific <title>. That being, for arguments sake, 
  <title>Section 1: Policy Purpose</title>.

Similarly, the 
  second section will also have a specific title - that being 
  <title>Section 2: Document Glossary</title>

All other 
  <title>'s used in a document will be required (where they exist), but 
  their content will not be fixed.

I have made 
  <title></title> a global element. How can i now instantiate it 
  twice, with specific content, once for each section?? I am using the XMLSpy">XMLSpy 
  schema GUI tool, and each time I try to provide a fixed value, that value 
  becomes global...and thus applies to all <title> tags in the document. I 
  am using the <title> element in the following elements - hence its 
  global definition :

<section>
<part>
<hmajor> 
  (major heading)
<hminor> (minor heading)



Do I need to 
  create a <s1title> and <s2title> separate to my original 
  <title> element, or is there a more clever way of approaching this 
  issue? I am thinking there is but I am a tad stumped! Any assistance would be 
  hugely appreciated.
