xsi:schemaLocation

The XML Schema Instance namespace defines two attributes that declare schema location hints that can be used by an XML processor to locate the schema.

Gloze may be be supplied with user-defined namespace/schema-location hints (from the command line or through the API), or it looks for xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation on the document element.

The following simple XML may be lifted into RDF either by supplying the schema location on the command line (eg. "schemaLocation.xml http://example.org/ mySchema.xsd"), or as shown in this case, using an explicit xsi:schemaLocation. Note that the xsi namespace must be declared.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foobar xmlns="http://example.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://example.org/ mySchema.xsd" />

When dropping a document into XML, a schema location can be added by supplying the full (base) path of the schema using the schemaLocation parameter (e.g. "-Dgloze.schemaLocation=file:/C:/myExamples/mySchema.xsd" ). The schema used in the mapping are relativized against this base and added to the xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute on the document element.
