It's a bit difficult to see from your example which elements are =
supposed to
"have the same structure": there are too many ellipses.

There are several ways you can achieve reuse of definitions. You can =
define
a base type that includes the common attributes, and then define =
additional
types derived by extension that add different child elements to this =
base
definition. Or you can make all your element (or type) definitions
independent top-level definitions, but have them pull in named attribute
groups or named model groups for cases where there are shared =
components.
(It's a bit like the two ways of achieving reuse in an object system:
inheritance and delegation.)
