XML schema for ordinal/nominal variables

From: "Christian Setzkorn" <christian@--------.-->

Dear all,

I would like to define nominal/ordinal variables as XML schema. Both types
of variables are characterized by code/string pairs. Here code is a real
number.

Example of the nominal variable Gender:

code/string
#######
1/male
0/female

Example of the ordinal variable Agreement:

code/string 
#######
0/strongly disagree
1/disagree
2/agree
3/strongly agree

My first attempt to define 'Gender' is this:

<xs:element name = "gender" >
	<xs:simpleType>
		<xs:restriction base = "xs:string" >
			<xs:pattern value "0 female | 1 male" />
		</xs:restriction>
	</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

Could this be improved?

Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
 
Christian Setzkorn
