XML Schema: Datatypes is part 2 of the specification of the XML Schema language. It defines facilities for defining datatypes to be used in XML Schemas as well as other XML specifications. The datatype language, which is itself represented in XML 1.0, provides a superset of the capabilities found in XML 1.0 document type definitions (DTDs) for specifying datatypes on elements and attributes.
This specification of the XML Schema language is a Proposed Recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium. This means that the specification is stable and that implementation experience has been gathered showing that each feature of the specification can be implemented. After review by the Consortium's Advisory Committee, this specification will either be published as a Recommendation, or (if review shows further changes are required) republished as a Candidate Recommendation or as a Working Draft.
Implementors should note that this part of this specification makes a normative reference to the current version of the Unicode Database, which specifies properties for characters on which the regular expression language defined here relies. A new version of the Unicode Database is expected to appear between the time this Proposed Recommendation is published and the time it becomes a W3C Recommendation; it is expected that the normative reference to the Unicode Database will be updated accordingly.
The deadline for review of this document is Monday 16 April 2001. [Note: this version of this Proposed Recommendation replaces that published on 16 March 2001. The only change from that draft is that the type there called 'number' is here renamed 'decimal'. This type was called 'decimal' up until the draft of 16 March 2001, so this change simply restores the original name of this type.]
Technical and editorial comments should be sent to the publicly archived www-xml-schema-comments@w3.org mailing list.
This document has been produced as part of the W3C XML Activity. The authors of this document are the XML Schema WG members. Different parts of this specification have different editors.
There have been no declarations regarding patents related to this specification within the XML Schema Working Group.
A list of current W3C Recommendations and other technical documents can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
The [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] specification defines limited facilities for applying datatypes to document content in that documents may contain or refer to DTDs that assign types to elements and attributes. However, document authors, including authors of traditional documents and those transporting data in XML, often require a higher degree of type checking to ensure robustness in document understanding and data interchange.
The table below offers two typical examples of XML instances in which datatypes are implicit: the instance on the left represents a billing invoice, the instance on the right a memo or perhaps an email message in XML.
Data oriented | Document oriented | ||
---|---|---|---|
|
|
The invoice contains several dates and telephone numbers, the postal abbreviation for a state (which comes from an enumerated list of sanctioned values), and a ZIP code (which takes a definable regular form). The memo contains many of the same types of information: a date, telephone number, email address and an "importance" value (from an enumerated list, such as "low", "medium" or "high"). Applications which process invoices and memos need to raise exceptions if something that was supposed to be a date or telephone number does not conform to the rules for valid dates or telephone numbers.
In both cases, validity constraints exist on the content of the instances that are not expressible in XML DTDs. The limited datatyping facilities in XML have prevented validating XML processors from supplying the rigorous type checking required in these situations. The result has been that individual applications writers have had to implement type checking in an ad hoc manner. This specification addresses the need of both document authors and applications writers for a robust, extensible datatype system for XML which could be incorporated into XML processors. As discussed below, these datatypes could be used in other XML-related standards as well.
The [XML Schema Requirements] document spells out concrete requirements to be fulfilled by this specification, which state that the XML Schema Language must:
This portion of the XML Schema Language discusses datatypes that can be used in an XML Schema. These datatypes can be specified for element content that would be specified as #PCDATA and attribute values of various types in a DTD. It is the intention of this specification that it be usable outside of the context of XML Schemas for a wide range of other XML-related activities such as [XSL] and [RDF Schema].
The terminology used to describe XML Schema Datatypes is defined in the body of this specification. The terms defined in the following list are used in building those definitions and in describing the actions of a datatype processor:
This specification provides three different kinds of normative statements about schema components, their representations in XML and their contribution to the schema-validation of information items:
This section describes the conceptual framework behind the type system defined in this specification. The framework has been influenced by the [ISO 11404] standard on language-independent datatypes as well as the datatypes for [SQL] and for programming languages such as Java.
The datatypes discussed in this specification are computer representations of well known abstract concepts such as integer and date. It is not the place of this specification to define these abstract concepts; many other publications provide excellent definitions.
[Definition:] In this specification, a datatype is a 3-tuple, consisting of a) a set of distinct values, called its value space, b) a set of lexical representations, called its lexical space, and c) a set of facets that characterize properties of the value space, individual values or lexical items.
[Definition:] A value space is the set of values for a given datatype. Each value in the value space of a datatype is denoted by one or more literals in its lexical space.
The value space of a given datatype can be defined in one of the following ways:
value spaces have certain properties. For example, they always have the property of cardinality, some definition of equality and might be ordered, by which individual values within the value space can be compared to one another. The properties of value spaces that are recognized by this specification are defined in Fundamental facets (§2.4.1).
In addition to its value space, each datatype also has a lexical space.
[Definition:] A lexical space is the set of valid literals for a datatype.
For example, "100" and "1.0E2" are two different literals from the lexical space of float which both denote the same value. The type system defined in this specification provides a mechanism for schema designers to control the set of values and the corresponding set of acceptable literals of those values for a datatype.
NOTE: The literals in the lexical spaces defined in this specification have the following characteristics:
- Interoperability:
- The number of literals for each value has been kept small; for many datatypes there is a one-to-one mapping between literals and values. This makes it easy to exchange the values between different systems. In many cases, conversion from locale-dependent representations will be required on both the originator and the recipient side, both for computer processing and for interaction with humans.
- Basic readability:
- Textual, rather than binary, literals are used. This makes hand editing, debugging, and similar activities possible.
- Ease of parsing and serializing:
- Where possible, literals correspond to those found in common programming languages and libraries.
While the datatypes defined in this specification have, for the most part, a single lexical representation i.e. each value in the datatype's value space is denoted by a single literal in its lexical space, this is not always the case. The example in the previous section showed two literals for the datatype float which denote the same value. Similarly, there may be several literals for one of the date or time datatypes that denote the same value using different timezone indicators.
[Definition:] A canonical lexical representation is a set of literals from among the valid set of literals for a datatype such that there is a one-to-one mapping between literals in the canonical lexical representation and values in the value space.
[Definition:] A facet is a single defining aspect of a value space. Generally speaking, each facet characterizes a value space along independent axes or dimensions.
The facets of a datatype serve to distinguish those aspects of one datatype which differ from other datatypes. Rather than being defined solely in terms of a prose description the datatypes in this specification are defined in terms of the synthesis of facet values which together determine the value space and properties of the datatype.
Facets are of two types: fundamental facets that define the datatype and non-fundamental or constraining facets that constrain the permitted values of a datatype.
[Definition:] A fundamental facet is an abstract property which serves to semantically characterize the values in a value space.
These properties are discussed in this section.
Every value space supports the notion of equality, with the following rules:
Note that a consequence of the above is that, given value space A and value space B where A and B are not related by restriction or union, for every pair of values a from A and b from B, a != b.
On every datatype, the operation Equal is defined in terms of the equality property of the value space: for any values a, b drawn from the value space, Equal(a,b) is true if a = b, and false otherwise.
[Definition:] An order relation on a value space is a mathematical relation that imposes a total order or a partial order on the members of the value space.
[Definition:] A value space, and hence a datatype, is said to be ordered if there exists an order-relation defined for that value space.
[Definition:] A partial order is an order-relation that is irreflexive, antisymmetric and transitive.
A partial order has the following properties:
The notation a <> b is used to indicate the case when a != b and neither a < b nor b < a
[Definition:] A total order is an partial order such that for no a and b is it the case that a <> b.
A total order has all of the properties specified above for partial order, plus the following property:
NOTE: The fact that this specification does not define an order-relation for some datatype does not mean that some other application cannot treat that datatype as being ordered by imposing its own order relation.
[Definition:] A value u in an ordered value space U is said to be an inclusive upper bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u >= v.
[Definition:] A value u in an ordered value space U is said to be an exclusive upper bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u > v.
[Definition:] A value l in an ordered value space L is said to be an inclusive lower bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l <= v.
[Definition:] A value l in an ordered value space L is said to be an exclusive lower bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l < v.
[Definition:] A datatype is bounded if its value space has either an inclusive upper bound or an exclusive upper bound and either an inclusive lower bound and an exclusive lower bound.
[Definition:] Every value space has associated with it the concept of cardinality. Some value spaces are finite, some are countably infinite while still others could conceivably be uncountably infinite (although no value space defined by this specification is uncountable infinite). A datatype is said to have the cardinality of its value space.
It is sometimes useful to categorize value spaces (and hence, datatypes) as to their cardinality. There are two significant cases:
[Definition:] A datatype is said to be numeric if its values are conceptually quantities (in some mathematical number system).
[Definition:] A datatype whose values are not numeric is said to be non-numeric.
[Definition:] A constraining facet is an optional property that can be applied to a datatype to constrain its value space.
Constraining the value space consequently constrains the lexical space. Adding constraining facets to a base type is described in Derivation by restriction (§5.1.1).
In this section we define all constraining facets that are available for use when defining derived datatypes.
[Definition:] length is the number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being derived from. The value of length must be a nonNegativeInteger.
For string and datatypes derived from string, length is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes derived from them, length is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes derived by list, length is measured in number of list items.
NOTE: For string and datatypes derived from string, length will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for length and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for length.
[Definition:] minLength is the minimum number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being derived from. The value of minLength must be a nonNegativeInteger.
For string and datatypes derived from string, minLength is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes derived from them, minLength is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes derived by list, minLength is measured in number of list items.
NOTE: For string and datatypes derived from string, minLength will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for minLength and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for minLength.
[Definition:] maxLength is the maximum number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being derived from. The value of maxLength must be a nonNegativeInteger.
For string and datatypes derived from string, maxLength is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes derived from them, maxLength is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes derived by list, maxLength is measured in number of list items.
NOTE: For string and datatypes derived from string, maxLength will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for maxLength and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for maxLength.
[Definition:] pattern is a constraint on the value space of a datatype which is achieved by constraining the lexical space to literals which match a specific pattern. The value of pattern must be a regular expression.
[Definition:] enumeration constrains the value space to a specified set of values.
enumeration does not impose an order relation on the value space it creates; the value of the ordered property of the derived datatype remains that of the datatype from which it is derived.
[Definition:] whiteSpace constrains the value space of types derived from string such that the various behaviors specified in Attribute Value Normalization in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] are realized. The value of whiteSpace must be one of {preserve, replace, collapse}.
NOTE: The notation #xA used here (and elsewhere in this specification) represents the Universal Character Set (UCS) code pointhexadecimal A
(line feed), which is denoted by U+000A. This notation is to be distinguished from

, which is the XML character reference to that same UCS code point.
whiteSpace is applicable to all atomic and
list datatypes. For all atomic
datatypes other than string (and types derived
by restriction from it) the value of whiteSpace is
collapse
and cannot be changed by a schema author; for
string the value of whiteSpace is
preserve
; for any type derived by
restriction from
string the value of whiteSpace can
be any of the three legal values. For all datatypes
derived by list the
value of whiteSpace is collapse
and cannot
be changed by a schema author. For all datatypes
derived by union
whiteSpace does not apply directly; however, the
normalization behavior of union types is controlled by
the value of whiteSpace on that one of the
memberTypes against which the union
is successfully validated.
NOTE: For more information on whiteSpace, see the discussion on white space normalization in Schema Component Details in [XML Schema Part 1: Structures].
[Definition:] maxInclusive is the inclusive upper bound of the value space for a datatype with the ordered property. The value of maxInclusive must be in the value space of the base type.
[Definition:] maxExclusive is the exclusive upper bound of the value space for a datatype with the ordered property. The value of maxExclusive must be in the value space of the base type.
[Definition:] minInclusive is the inclusive lower bound of the value space for a datatype with the ordered property. The value of minInclusive must be in the value space of the base type.
[Definition:] minExclusive is the exclusive lower bound of the value space for a datatype with the ordered property. The value of minExclusive must be in the value space of the base type.
[Definition:] totalDigits is the maximum number of digits in values of datatypes derived from decimal. The value of totalDigits must be a positiveInteger.
[Definition:] fractionDigits is the maximum number of digits in the fractional part of values of datatypes derived from decimal. The value of fractionDigits must be a nonNegativeInteger .
It is useful to categorize the datatypes defined in this specification along various dimensions, forming a set of characterization dichotomies.
Ed. Note: I know, now this is a trichotomy and not a dichotomy...hopefully no one will be picky enough to complain
The first distinction to be made is that between atomic, list and union datatypes.
For example, a single token which matches Nmtoken from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] could be the value of an atomic datatype (NMTOKEN); while a sequence of such tokens could be the value of a list datatype (NMTOKENS).
atomic datatypes can be either primitive or derived. The value space of an atomic datatype is a set of "atomic" values, which for the purposes of this specification, are not further decomposable. The lexical space of an atomic datatype is a set of literals whose internal structure is specific to the datatype in question.
Several type systems (such as the one described in [ISO 11404]) treat list datatypes as special cases of the more general notions of aggregate or collection datatypes.
list datatypes are always derived. The value space of a list datatype is a set of finite-length sequences of atomic values. The lexical space of a list datatype is a set of literals whose internal structure is a white space separated sequence of literals of the atomic datatype of the items in the list (where whitespace matches S in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]).
[Definition:] The atomic datatype that participates in the definition of a list datatype is known as the itemType of that list datatype.
Example
<simpleType name='sizes'> <list itemType='decimal'/> </simpleType>
<cerealSizes xsi:type='sizes'> 8 10.5 12 </cerealSizes>
A list datatype can be derived from an atomic datatype whose lexical space allows whitespace (such as string or anyURI). In such a case, regardless of the input, list items will be separated at whitespace boundaries.
Example
<simpleType name='listOfString'> <list itemType='string'/> </simpleType>
<someElement xsi:type='listOfString'> this is not list item 1 this is not list item 2 this is not list item 3 </someElement>In the above example, the value of the someElement element is not a list of length 3; rather, it is a list of length 18.
When a datatype is derived from a list datatype, the following constraining facets apply:
For each of length, maxLength and minLength, the unit of length is measured in number of list items. The value of whiteSpace is fixed to the value collapse.
The canonical-lexical-representation for the list datatype is defined as the lexical form in which each item in the list has the canonical lexical representation of its itemType.
The value space and lexical space of a union datatype are the union of the value spaces and lexical spaces of its memberTypes. union datatypes are always derived. Currently, there are no built-in union datatypes.
Example
A prototypical example of a union type is the maxOccurs attribute on the element element in XML Schema itself: it is a union of nonNegativeInteger and an enumeration with the single member, the string "unbounded", as shown below.
<attributeGroup name="occurs"> <attribute name="minOccurs" type="nonNegativeInteger" default="1"/> <attribute name="maxOccurs"> <simpleType> <union> <simpleType> <restriction base='nonNegativeInteger'/> </simpleType> <simpleType> <restriction base='string'> <enumeration value='unbounded'/> </restriction> </simpleType> </union> </simpleType> </attribute> </attributeGroup>
Any number (greater than 1) of atomic or listdatatypes can participate in a union type.
[Definition:] The datatypes that participate in the definition of a union datatype are known as the memberTypes of that union datatype.
The order in which the memberTypes are specified in the definition (that is, the order of the <simpleType> children of the <union> element, or the order of the QNames in the memberTypes attribute) is significant. During validation, an element or attribute's value is validated against the memberTypes in the order in which they appear in the definition until a match is found. The evaluation order can be overridden with the use of xsi:type. See Simple Type Definition (§4.1) and XML representation of datatype definitions (§5) for more details.
Example
For example, given the definition below, the first instance of the <size> element validates correctly as an integer (§3.3.13), the second and third as string (§3.2.1).
<xsd:element name='size'> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:union> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base='integer'/> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base='string'/> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:union> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:element>
<size>1</size> <size>large</size> <size xsi:type='xsd:string'>1</size>
The canonical-lexical-representation for a union datatype is defined as the lexical form in which the values have the canonical lexical representation of the appropriate memberTypes.
NOTE: A datatype which is atomic in this specification need not be an "atomic" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Likewise, a datatype which is a list in this specification need not be a "list" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Furthermore, a datatype which is a union in this specification need not be a "union" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification.
Next, we distinguish between primitive and derived datatypes.
For example, in this specification, float is a well-defined mathematical concept that cannot be defined in terms of other datatypes, while a integer is a special case of the more general datatype decimal.
[Definition:] There exists a conceptual datatype, whose name is anySimpleType, that is the simple version of the ur-type definition from [XML Schema Part 1: Structures]. anySimpleType can be considered as the base type of all primitive types. The value space of anySimpleType can be considered to be the union of the value spaces of all primitive datatypes.
The datatypes defined by this specification fall into both the primitive and derived categories. It is felt that a judiciously chosen set of primitive datatypes will serve the widest possible audience by providing a set of convenient datatypes that can be used as is, as well as providing a rich enough base from which the variety of datatypes needed by schema designers can be derived.
In the example above, integer is derived from decimal.
NOTE: A datatype which is primitive in this specification need not be a "primitive" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Likewise, a datatype which is derived in this specification need not be a "derived" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification.
As described in more detail in XML representation of datatype definitions (§5.1), each user-derived datatype must be defined in terms of another datatype in one of three ways: 1) by assigning constraining facets which serve to restrict the value space of the user-derived datatype to a subset of that of the base type; 2) by creating a list datatype whose value space consists of finite-length sequences of values of its itemType; or 3) by creating a union datatype whose value space consists of the union of the value space its memberTypes.
[Definition:] A datatype is said to be derived by restriction from another datatype values for one or more constraining facets are specified that serve to constrain its value space and/or its lexical space to a subset of those of its base type.
[Definition:] Every datatype that is derived by restriction is defined in terms of an existing datatype, referred to as its base type. base types can be either primitive or derived.
A list datatype can be derived from another datatype (its itemType) by creating a value space that consists of a finite-length sequence of values of its itemType.
One datatype can be derived from one or more datatypes by unioning their value spaces and, consequently, their lexical spaces.
Conceptually there is no difference between the built-in derived datatypes included in this specification and the user-derived datatypes which will be created by individual schema designers. The built-in derived datatypes are those which are believed to be so common that if they were not defined in this specification many schema designers would end up "reinventing" them. Furthermore, including these derived datatypes in this specification serves to demonstrate the mechanics and utility of the datatype generation facilities of this specification.
NOTE: A datatype which is built-in in this specification need not be a "built-in" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification. Likewise, a datatype which is user-derived in this specification need not be a "user-derived" datatype in any programming language used to implement this specification.
Each built-in datatype in this specification (both primitive and derived) can be uniquely addressed via a URI Reference constructed as follows:
For example, to address the int datatype, the URI is:
http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema#int
Additionally, each facet definition element can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:
For example, to address the maxInclusive facet, the URI is:
http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema#maxInclusive
Additionally, each facet usage in a built-in datatype definition can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:
For example, to address the usage of the maxInclusive facet in the definition of int, the URI is:
http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema#int.maxInclusive
The built-in datatypes defined by this specification are designed to be used with the XML Schema definition language as well as other XML specifications. To facilitate usage within the XML Schema definition language, the built-in datatypes in this specification have the namespace name:
To facilitate usage in specifications other than the XML Schema definition language, such as those that do not want to know anything about aspects of the XML Schema definition language other than the datatypes, each built-in datatype is also defined in the namespace whose URI is:
This applies to both built-in primitive and built-in derived datatypes.
Each user-derived datatype is also associated with a unique namespace. However, user-derived datatypes do not come from the namespace defined by this specification; rather, they come from the namespace of the schema in which they are defined (see XML Representation of Schemas in [XML Schema Part 1: Structures]).
The primitive datatypes defined by this specification are described below. For each datatype, the value space and lexical space are defined, constraining facets which apply to the datatype are listed and any datatypes derived from this datatype are specified.
primitive datatypes can only be added by revisions to this specification.
[Definition:] The string datatype represents character strings in XML. The value space of string is the set of finite-length sequences of characters (as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]) that match the Char production from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. A character is an atomic unit of communication; it is not further specified except to note that every character has a corresponding Universal Character Set code point, which is an integer.
NOTE: Many human languages have writing systems that require child elements for control of aspects such as bidirectional formating or ruby annotation (see [Ruby] and Section 8.2.4 Overriding the bidirectional algorithm: the BDO element of [HTML 4.01]). Thus, string, as a simple type that can contain only characters but not child elements, is often not suitable for representing text. In such situations, a complex type that allows mixed content should be considered. For more information, see Section 5.5 Any Element, Any Attribute of [XML Schema Language: Part 2 Primer].
NOTE: As noted in Order (§2.4.1.2), the fact that this specification does not specify an order-relation for string does not preclude other applications from treating strings as being ordered.
string has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] boolean has the value space required to support the mathematical concept of binary-valued logic: {true, false}.
An instance of a datatype that is defined as boolean can have the following legal literals {true, false, 1, 0}.
[Definition:] decimal represents arbitrary precision decimal numbers. The value space of decimal is the set of the values i × 10^-n, where i and n are integers such that n >= 0. The order-relation on decimal is: x < y iff y - x is positive.
[Definition:] The value space of types derived from decimal with a value for totalDigits of p is the set of values i × 10^-n, where n and i are integers such that p >= n >= 0 and the number of significant decimal digits in i is less than or equal to p.
[Definition:] The value space of types derived from decimal with a value for fractionDigits of s is the set of values i × 10^-n, where i and n are integers such that 0 <= n <= s.
NOTE: All minimally conforming processors must support decimal numbers with a minimum of 18 decimal digits (i.e., with a totalDigits of 18). However, minimally conforming processors may set an application-defined limit on the maximum number of decimal digits they are prepared to support, in which case that application-defined maximum number must be clearly documented.
decimal has a lexical representation
consisting of a finite-length sequence of decimal digits (#x30-#x39) separated
by a period as a decimal indicator. If totalDigits is
specified, the number of digits must be less than or equal to
totalDigits.
If fractionDigits is specified, the
number of digits following the decimal point must be less than or equal to
the fractionDigits. An optional leading sign is allowed.
If the sign is omitted, "+" is assumed. Leading and trailing zeroes are optional.
If the fractional part is zero, the period and following zero(es) can
be omitted.
For example: -1.23, 12678967.543233, +100000.00, 210
.
The canonical representation for decimal is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.3.1). Specifically, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited. The decimal point is required. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: there must be at least one digit to the right and to the left of the decimal point which may be a zero.
decimal has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] float corresponds to the IEEE single-precision 32-bit floating point type [IEEE 754-1985]. The basic value space of float consists of the values m × 2^e, where m is an integer whose absolute value is less than 2^24, and e is an integer between -149 and 104, inclusive. In addition to the basic value space described above, the value space of float also contains the following special values: positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number. The order-relation on float is: x < y iff y - x is positive. Positive zero is greater than negative zero. Not-a-number equals itself and is greater than all float values including positive infinity.
A literal in the lexical space representing a decimal number d maps to the normalized value in the value space of float that is closest to d; if d is exactly halfway between two such values then the even value is chosen. This is the best approximation of d [Clinger, WD (1990)][Gay, DM (1990)], which is more accurate than the mapping required by [IEEE 754-1985].
float values have a lexical representation consisting of a mantissa followed, optionally, by the character "E" or "e", followed by an exponent. The exponent must be an integer. The mantissa must be a decimal number. The representations for exponent and mantissa must follow the lexical rules for integer and decimal. If the "E" or "e" and the following exponent are omitted, an exponent value of 0 is assumed.
The special values positive and negative zero, positive
and negative infinity and not-a-number have lexical representations 0
,
-0
, INF
, -INF
and
NaN
, respectively.
For example, -1E4, 1267.43233E12, 12.78e-2, 12 and INF
are all legal literals for float.
The canonical representation for float is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.4.1). Specifically, the exponent must be indicated by "E". Leading zeroes are prohibited in the exponent. For the mantissa, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited and the decimal point is required. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: number representations must be normalized such that there is a single digit to the left of the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the decimal point.
float has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] The double datatype corresponds to IEEE double-precision 64-bit floating point type [IEEE 754-1985]. The basic value space of double consists of the values m × 2^e, where m is an integer whose absolute value is less than 2^53, and e is an integer between -1075 and 970, inclusive. In addition to the basic value space described above, the value space of double also contains the following special values: positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number. The order-relation on double is: x < y iff y - x is positive. Positive zero is greater than negative zero. Not-a-number equals itself and is greater than all double values including positive infinity.
A literal in the lexical space representing a decimal number d maps to the normalized value in the value space of double that is closest to d; if d is exactly halfway between two such values then the even value is chosen. This is the best approximation of d ([Clinger, WD (1990)], [Gay, DM (1990)]), which is more accurate than the mapping required by [IEEE 754-1985].
double values have a lexical representation consisting of a mantissa followed, optionally, by the character "E" or "e", followed by an exponent. The exponent must be an integer. The mantissa must be a decimal number. The representations for exponent and mantissa must follow the lexical rules for integer and decimal. If the "E" or "e" and the following exponent are omitted, an exponent value of 0 is assumed.
The special values positive and negative zero, positive
and negative infinity and not-a-number have lexical representations 0
,
-0
, INF
, -INF
and
NaN
, respectively.
For example, -1E4, 1267.43233E12, 12.78e-2, 12 and INF
are all legal literals for double.
The canonical representation for double is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.5.1). Specifically, the exponent must be indicated by "E". Leading zeroes are prohibited in the exponent. For the mantissa, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited and the decimal point is required. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: number representations must be normalized such that there is a single digit to the left of the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the decimal point.
double has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] duration represents a duration of time. The value space of duration is a six-dimensional space where the coordinates designate the Gregorian year, month, day, hour, minute, and second components defined in § 5.5.3.2 of [ISO 8601], respectively. These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.
The lexical representation for duration is the [ISO 8601] extended format PnYn MnDTnH nMnS, where nY represents the number of years, nM the number of months, nD the number of days, 'T' is the date/time separator, nH the number of hours, nM the number of minutes and nS the number of seconds. The number of seconds can include decimal digits to arbitrary precision.
The values of the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minutes components are not restricted but allow an arbitrary integer. Similarly, the value of the Seconds component allows an arbitrary decimal. Thus, the lexical representation of duration does not follow the alternative format of § 5.5.3.2.1 of [ISO 8601].
An optional preceding minus sign ('-') is allowed, to indicate a negative duration. If the sign is omitted a positive duration is indicated. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).
For example, to indicate a duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, 10
hours, and 30 minutes, one would write: P1Y2M3DT10H30M
.
One could also indicate a duration of minus 120 days as:
-P120D
.
Reduced precision and truncated representations of this format are allowed provided they conform to the following:
For example, P1347Y, P1347M and P1Y2MT2H are all allowed; P0Y1347M and P0Y1347M0D are allowed. P-1347M is not allowed although -P1347M is allowed. P1Y2MT is not allowed.
In general, the order-relation on duration is a partial order since there is no determinate relationship between certain durations such as one month (P1M) and 30 days (P30D). The order-relation of two duration values x and y is x <= y iff s+x <= s+y for each qualified dateTime (§3.2.7) s in the list below. These values for s cause the greatest deviations in the addition of dateTimes and durations. Addition of durations to time instants is defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (§E).
The following table shows the strongest relationship that can be determined between example durations. The symbol <> means that the order relation is indeterminate. Note that because of leap-seconds, a seconds field can vary from 59 to 60. However, because of the way that addition is defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (§E), they are still totally ordered.
Relation | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
P1Y | > P364D | >= P365D | <= P366D | < P367D | |||
P1M | > P27D | >= P28D | <> P29D | <> P30D | <= P31D | < P32D | |
P5M | > P149D | >= P150D | <> P151D | <> P152D | <= P153D | < P154D |
Implementations are free to optimize the computation of the ordering relationship. For example, the following table can be used to compare durations of a small number of months against days.
Months | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | ... | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Days | Minimum | 28 | 59 | 89 | 120 | 150 | 181 | 212 | 242 | 273 | 303 | 334 | 365 | 393 | ... |
Maximum | 31 | 62 | 92 | 123 | 153 | 184 | 215 | 245 | 276 | 306 | 337 | 366 | 397 | ... |
In comparing duration values with minInclusive (§2.4.2.9), minExclusive (§2.4.2.10), maxInclusive (§2.4.2.7) and maxExclusive (§2.4.2.8) facet values indeterminate comparisons should be considered as "false".
Certain derived datatypes of durations can be guaranteed have a total order. For this, they must have fields from only one row in the list below and the time zone must either be required or prohibited.
For example, a datatype could be defined to correspond to the [SQL] datatype Year-Month interval that required a four digit year field and a two digit month field but required all other fields to be unspecified. This datatype could be defined as below and would have a total order.
<simpleType name='SQL-Year-Month-Interval'> <restriction base='duration'> <pattern value='P\p{Nd}{4}Y\p{Nd}{2}M'/> </restriction> </simpleType> |
duration has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] dateTime represents a specific instant of time. The value space of dateTime is the space of Combinations of date and time of day values as defined in § 5.4 of [ISO 8601].
A single lexical representation, which is a subset of the lexical representations allowed by [ISO 8601], is allowed for dateTime. This lexical representation is the [ISO 8601] extended format CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss where "CC" represents the century, "YY" the year, "MM" the month and "DD" the day, preceded by an optional leading "-" sign to indicate a negative number. If the sign is omitted, "+" is assumed. The letter "T" is the date/time separator and "hh", "mm", "ss" represent hour, minute and second respectively. Additional digits can be used to increase the precision of fractional seconds if desired i.e the format ss.ss... with any number of digits after the decimal point is supported. To accommodate year values greater than 9999 additional digits can be added to the left of this representation. The year 0000 is prohibited.
This representation may be immediately followed by a "Z" to indicate Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or, to indicate the time zone, i.e. the difference between the local time and Coordinated Universal Time, immediately followed by a sign, + or -, followed by the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm. See ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D) for details about legal values in the various fields.
For example, to indicate 1:20 pm on May the 31st, 1999 for Eastern
Standard Time which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), one
would write: 1999-05-31T13:20:00-05:00
.
The canonical representation for dateTime is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.7.1). Specifically, either the time zone must be omitted or, if present, the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) indicated by a "Z".
In general, the order-relation on dateTime is a partial order since there is no determinate relationship between certain instants. For example, there is no determinate ordering between (a) 2000-01-20T12:00:00 and (b) 2000-01-20T12:00:00Z. Based on timezones currently in use, (c) could vary from 2000-01-20T12:00:00+12 to 2000-01-20T12:00:00-13. It is, however, possible for this range to expand or contract in the future, based on local laws. Because of this, the following definition uses a somewhat broader range of indeterminate values: +14..-14.
The following definition uses the notation S[year] to represent the year field of S, S[month] to represent the month field, and so on. The notation (Q & "-14") means adding the timezone -14 to Q, where Q did not already have a timezone. This is a logical explanation of the process. Actual implementations are free to optimize as long as they produce the same results.
The ordering between two dateTimes P and Q is defined by the following algorithm:
A.Normalize P and Q. That is, if there is a timezone present, but it is not Z, convert it to Z using the addition operation defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (§E)
B. If P and Q either both have a time zone or both do not have a time zone, compare P and Q field by field from the year field down to the second field, and return a result as soon as it can be determined. That is:
For each i in {year, month, day, hour, minute, second}
C.Otherwise, if P contains a time zone and Q does not, compare as follows:
D. Otherwise, if P does not contain a time zone and Q does, compare as follows:
Examples:
Determinate | Indeterminate |
---|---|
2000-01-15T00:00:00 < 2000-02-15T00:00:00 | 2000-01-01T12:00:00 <> 1999-12-31T23:00:00Z |
2000-01-15T12:00:00 < 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z | 2000-01-16T12:00:00 <> 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z |
2000-01-15T00:00:00 <> 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z |
Certain derived types from dateTime can be guaranteed have a total order. To do so, they must require that a specific set of fields are always specified, and that remaining fields (if any) are always unspecified. For example, the date datatype without time zone is defined to contain exactly year, month, and day. Thus dates without time zone have a total order among themselves.
dateTime has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] time represents an instant of time that recurs every day. The value space of time is the space of time of day values as defined in § 5.3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of zero-duration daily time instances.
Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, time values are partially ordered because it may not be able to determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. The order relation on time values is the Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3) using an arbitrary date. See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of time values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.
The lexical representation for time is the left truncated lexical representation for dateTime: hh:mm:ss.sss with optional following time zone indicator. For example, to indicate 1:20 pm for Eastern Standard Time which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), one would write: 13:20:00-05:00. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).
The canonical representation for time is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (§3.2.8.1). Specifically, either the time zone must be omitted or, if present, the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) indicated by a "Z".
time has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] date represents a calendar date. The value space of date is the set of Gregorian calendar dates as defined in § 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, non-periodic instances e.g. lexical 1999-10-26 to represent the calendar date 1999-10-26, independent of how many hours this day has.
Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, date values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If date values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on date values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of date values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.
The lexical representation for date is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY-MM-DD. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for dateTime. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.
For example, to indicate May the 31st, 1999, one would write: 1999-05-31. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).
date has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] gYearMonth represents a specific gregorian month in a specific gregorian year. The value space of gYearMonth is the set of Gregorian calendar months as defined in § 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-month long, non-periodic instances e.g. 1999-10 to represent the whole month of 1999-10, independent of how many days this month has.
Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gYearMonth values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gYearMonth values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gYearMonth values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gYearMonth values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.
NOTE: Because month/year combinations in one calendar only rarely correspond to month/year combinations in other calendars, values of this type are not, in general, convertible to simple values corresponding to month/year combinations in other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
The lexical representation for gYearMonth is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY-MM. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.
For example, to indicate the month of May 1999, one would write: 1999-05. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).
gYearMonth has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] gYear represents a gregorian calendar year. The value space of gYear is the set of Gregorian calendar years as defined in § 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-year long, non-periodic instances e.g. lexical 1999 to represent the whole year 1999, independent of how many months and days this year has.
Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gYear values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gYear values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gYear values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gYear values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.
NOTE: Because years in one calendar only rarely correspond to years in other calendars, values of this type are not, in general, convertible to simple values corresponding to years in other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
The lexical representation for gYear is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for dateTime. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.
For example, to indicate 1999, one would write: 1999. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).
gYear has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] gMonthDay is a gregorian date that recurs, specifically a day of the year such as the third of May. Arbitrary recurring dates are not supported by this datatype. The value space of gMonthDay is the set of calendar dates, as defined in § 3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, annually periodic instances.
Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gMonthDay values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gMonthDay values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gMonthDay values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gMonthDay values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.
NOTE: Because day/month combinations in one calendar only rarely correspond to day/month combinations in other calendars, values of this type do not, in general, have any straightforward or intuitive representation in terms of most other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
The lexical representation for gMonthDay is the left truncated lexical representation for date: --MM-DD. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).
This datatype can be used to represent a specific day in a month. To say, for example, that my birthday occurs on the 14th of September ever year.
gMonthDay has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] gDay is a gregorian day that recurs, specifically a day of the month such as the 5th of the month. Arbitrary recurring days are not supported by this datatype. The value space of gDay is the space of a set of calendar dates as defined in § 3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, monthly periodic instances.
This datatype can be used to represent a specific day of the month. To say, for example, that I get my paycheck on the 15th of each month.
Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gDay values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gDay values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gDay values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gDay values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.
NOTE: Because days in one calendar only rarely correspond to days in other calendars, values of this type do not, in general, have any straightforward or intuitive representation in terms of most other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
The lexical representation for gDay is the left truncated lexical representation for date: ---DD . An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).

[Definition:] gMonth is a gregorian month that recurs every year. The value space of gMonth is the space of a set of calendar months as defined in § 3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-month long, yearly periodic instances.
This datatype can be used to represent a specific month. To say, for example, that Thanksgiving falls in the month of November.
Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gMonth values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gMonth values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gMonth is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (§3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (§E). Pairs of gMonth values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.
NOTE: Because months in one calendar only rarely correspond to months in other calendars, values of this type do not, in general, have any straightforward or intuitive representation in terms of most other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.
The lexical representation for gMonth is the left and right truncated lexical representation for date: --MM--. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for date. No preceding sign is allowed. No other formats are allowed. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (§D).
gMonth has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] hexBinary represents arbitrary hex-encoded binary data. The value space of hexBinary is the set of finite-length sequences of binary octets. Each binary octet is encoded as a character tuple, consisting of two hexadecimal digits ([0-9a-fA-F]) representing the octet code. For example, "0FB7" is the hex encoding for the 16-bit integer 4023 (whose binary representation is 111110110111).
hexBinary has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] base64Binary represents Base64-encoded arbitrary binary data. The value space of base64Binary is the set of finite-length sequences of binary octets. For base64Binary data the entire binary stream is encoded using the Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding defined in Section 6.8 [RFC 2045].
base64Binary has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] anyURI represents a Uniform Resource Identifier Reference (URI). An anyURI value can be absolute or relative, and may have an optional fragment identifier (i.e., it may be a URI Reference). This type should be used to specify the intention that the value fulfills the role of a URI as defined by [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732].
The mapping from anyURI values to URIs is as defined in Section 5.4 Locator Attribute of [XML Linking Language] (see also Section 8 Character Encoding in URI References of [Character Model]). This means that a wide range of internationalized resource identifiers can be specified when an anyURI is called for, and still be understood as URIs per [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732], where appropriate to identify resources.
NOTE: Each URI scheme imposes specialized syntax rules for URIs in that scheme, inclusing restrictions on the syntax of allowed fragement identifiers. Because it is impractical for processors to check that a value is a context-appropriate URI reference, this specification follows the lead of [RFC 2396] (as amended by [RFC 2732]) in this matter: such rules and restrictions are not part of type validity and are not checked by minimally conforming processors. Thus in practice the above definition imposes only very modest obligations on minimally conforming processors.
The lexical space of anyURI is finite-length character sequences which, when the algorithm defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language] is applied to them, result in strings which are legal URIs according to [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732].
NOTE: Spaces are, in principle, allowed in the lexical space of anyURI, however, their use is highly discouraged (unless they are encoded by %20).
anyURI has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] QName represents XML qualified names. The value space of QName is the set of tuples {namespace name, local part}, where namespace name is a anyURI and local part is an NCName. The lexical space of QName is the set of strings that match the QName production of [Namespaces in XML].
NOTE: The mapping between literals in the lexical space and values in the value space of QName requires a namespace declaration to be in scope for the context in which QName is used.
QName has the following constraining facets:
[Definition:] NOTATION represents the NOTATION attribute type from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. The value space of NOTATION is the set QNames. The lexical space of NOTATION is the set of all names of notations declared in the current schema.

The following sections provide full details on the properties and significance of each kind of schema component involved in datatype definitions. For each property, the kinds of values it is allowed to have is specified. Any property not identified as optional is required to be present; optional properties which are not present have absent as their value. Any property identified as a having a set, subset or list value may have an empty value unless this is explicitly ruled out: this is not the same as absent. Any property value identified as a superset or a subset of some set may be equal to that set, unless a proper superset or subset is explicitly called for.
For more information on the notion of datatype (schema) components, see Schema Component Details of [XML Schema Part 1: Structures].
NOTE: Readers whose primary interest is in the XML representation of datatype definitions might wish to skip this section on the first reading, concentrating instead on XML representation of datatype definitions (§5).
Simple Type definitions provide for:
The Simple Type Definition schema component has the following properties:
Schema Component: Simple Type Definition
- {name}
- Optional. An NCName as defined by [Namespaces in XML].
- {target namespace}
- Either absent or a namespace name, as defined in [Namespaces in XML].
- {variety}
- One of {atomic, list, union}. Depending on the value of {variety}, further properties are defined as follows:
- atomic
- {primitive type definition}
- A built-in primitive datatype definition (or the simple ur-type definition).
- list
- {item type definition}
- An atomic or union simple type definition.
- union
- {member type definitions}
- A non-empty sequence of simple type definitions.
- {facets}
- A possibly empty set of Constraining facets (§4.3).
- {fundamental facets}
- A set of Fundamental facets (§4.2)
- {base type definition}
- If the datatype has been derived by restriction then the Simple Type Definition component from which it is derived, otherwise the Simple Type Definition for anySimpleType (§4.1.1).
- {final}
- A subset of {restriction, list, union}.
- {annotation}
- Optional. An annotation.
Datatypes are identified by their {name} and {target namespace}. Except for anonymous datatypes (those with no {name}), datatype definitions must be uniquely identified within a schema.
If {variety} is atomic then the value space of the datatype defined will be a subset of the value space of {base type definition} (which is a subset of the value space of {primitive type definition}). If {variety} is list then the value space of the datatype defined will be the set of finite-length sequence of values from the value space of {item type definition}. If {variety} is union then the value space of the datatype defined will be the union of the value spaces of each datatype in {member type definitions}.
If {variety} is atomic then the {variety} of {base type definition} must be atomic. If {variety} is list then the {variety} of {item type definition} must be either atomic or union. If {variety} is union then {member type definitions} must be a list of datatype definitions.
The value of {facets} consists of the set of facets specified directly in the datatype definition unioned with the possibly empty set of {facets} of {base type definition}.
The value of {fundamental facets} consists of the set of fundamental facets and their values.
If {final} is the empty set then the type can be used in deriving other types; the explicit values restriction, list and union prevent further derivations by restriction, list and union respectively.
Constraint on Schemas: no circular unions |
If {variety} is union,
then
it is an error if
{name} and {target namespace}
match {name}
and {target namespace} of any member of
{member type definitions}.

The sections below define correspondences between element information
items and datatype definition components. All the element information
items in the XML representation of a datatype definition are in the
XML Schema namespace, that is their
[namespace name]
is http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
.
Throughout the following sections, the [value] of an attribute information item or the [children] of an element information item means a string composed of, in order, the [character code] of each character information item in the [children] of that attribute information item or in the [children] of that element information item respectively.
The XML representation for a Simple Type Definition schema component is a simpleType element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
XML Representation Summary: simpleType
Element Information Item<simpleType
id = ID
final = #all | List of (restriction, list, union)
name = NCName
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation? , (restriction | list | union))
</simpleType>
Datatype Definition Schema Component
Property Representation {name} The actual value of the name
[attribute], if present, otherwise null{final} A set corresponding to the actual value of the final
[attribute], if present, otherwise of the actual value of thefinalDefault
[attribute] the ancestor schema element information item, if present, otherwise the empty string, as follows:
- the empty string
- the empty set;
#all
- {restriction, list, union};
- otherwise
- a set with members drawn from the set above, each being present or absent depending on whether the string contains an equivalently named space-delimited substring.
NOTE: Although thefinalDefault
[attribute] of schema may include values other than restriction, list or union, those values are ignored in the determination of {final}{target namespace} The actual value of the targetNamespace
[attribute] of the parentschema
element information item.{annotation} The annotation corresponding to the annotation element information item in the [children], if present, otherwise null
A derived datatype can be derived from a primitive datatype or another derived datatype by one of three means: by restriction, by list or by union.
XML Representation Summary: restriction
Element Information Item<restriction
id = ID
base = QName
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation? , (simpleType? , (minExclusive | minInclusive | maxExclusive | maxInclusive | totalDigits | fractionDigits | length | minLength | maxLength | enumeration | pattern)*))
</restriction>
Simple Type Definition Schema Component
Property Representation {variety} The actual value of {variety} of {base type definition} {facets} The union of the set of Constraining facets (§4.3) components resolved to by the facet [children] merged with {facets} from {base type definition}, subject to the Facet Restriction Valid constraints specified in Constraining facets (§4.3). {base type definition} The Simple Type Definition component resolved to by the actual value of the base
[attribute] or the simpleType [children], whichever is present.
Example
An electronic commerce schema might define a datatype called Sku (the barcode number that appears on products) from the built-in datatype string by supplying a value for the pattern facet.
<simpleType name='Sku'> <restriction base='string'> <pattern value='\d{3}-[A-Z]{2}'/> </restriction> </simpleType>In this case, Sku is the name of the new user-derived datatype, string is its base type and pattern is the facet.
XML Representation Summary: list
Element Information Item<list
id = ID
itemType = QName
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation? , simpleType?)
</list>
Simple Type Definition Schema Component
Property Representation {variety} list {item type definition} The Simple Type Definition component resolved to by the actual value of the itemType
[attribute] or the simpleType [children], whichever is present.
A list datatype must be derived from an atomic or a union datatype, known as the itemType of the list datatype. This yields a datatype whose value space is composed of finite-length sequences of values from the value space of the itemType and whose lexical space is composed of white space separated lists of literals of the itemType.
Example
A system might want to store lists of floating point values.
<simpleType name='listOfFloat'> <list itemType='float'/> </simpleType>In this case, listOfFloat is the name of the new user-derived datatype, float is its itemType and list is the derivation method.
As mentioned in List datatypes (§2.5.1.2), when a datatype is derived from a list datatype, the following constraining facets can be used:
regardless of the constraining facets that are applicable to the atomic datatype that serves as the itemType of the list.
For each of length, maxLength and minLength, the unit of length is measured in number of list items. The value of whiteSpace is fixed to the value collapse.
XML Representation Summary: union
Element Information Item<union
memberTypes = list of QName
id = ID
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation? , simpleType*)
</union>
Simple Type Definition Schema Component
Property Representation {variety} union {member type definitions} The sequence of Simple Type Definition components resolved to by the items in the actual value of the memberTypes
[attribute], if any, in order, followed by the Simple Type Definition components resolved to by the simpleType [children], if any, in order. If {variety} is union for any Simple Type Definition components resolved to above, then the that Simple Type Definition is replaced by its {member type definitions}.
Schema Representation Constraint: memberTypes attribute or simpleType children |
Either the
memberTypes [attribute] must be non-empty or
there must be at least one simpleType [child].
|
A union datatype can be derived from one or more atomic, list or other union datatypes, known as the memberTypes of that union datatype.
Example
As an example, taken from a typical display oriented text markup language, one might want to express font sizes as an integer between 8 and 72, or with one of the tokens "small", "medium" or "large". The union type definition below would accomplish that.
<xsd:attribute name="size"> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:union> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:positiveInteger"> <xsd:minInclusive value="8"/> <xsd:maxInclusive value="72"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:NMTOKEN"> <xsd:enumeration value="small"/> <xsd:enumeration value="medium"/> <xsd:enumeration value="large"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:union> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:attribute>
<p> <font size='large'>A header</font> </p> <p> <font size='12'>this is a test</font> </p>
As mentioned in Union datatypes (§2.5.1.3), when a datatype is derived from a union datatype, the only following constraining facets can be used:
regardless of the constraining facets that are applicable to the datatypes that participate in the union
This section discusses the details of the XML Representation for specifying constraining facets in a datatype definition.
Schema Representation Constraint: Single Facet Value |
Unless otherwise specifically allowed by this specification
(Multiple patterns (§5.2.4) and
Multiple enumerations (§5.2.5)) any given
constraining facet can only be specifed once within
a single derivation step.
|
The XML representation for a length schema component is a length element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
XML Representation Summary: length
Element Information Item<length
id = ID
value = nonNegativeInteger
fixed = boolean : false
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation?)
</length>
length Schema Component
Property Representation {value} The actual value of the value
[attribute]{fixed} The actual value of the fixed
[attribute], if present, otherwise false{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the annotation element information items in the [children], if any.
Example
The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype to represent product codes which must be exactly 8 characters in length. By fixing the value of the length facet we ensure that types derived from productCode can change or set the values of other facets, such as pattern, but cannot change the length.
<simpleType name='productCode'> <restriction base='string'> <length value='8' fixed='true'/> </restriction> </simpleType>
The XML representation for a minLength schema component is a minLength element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
XML Representation Summary: minLength
Element Information Item<minLength
id = ID
value = nonNegativeInteger
fixed = boolean : false
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation?)
</minLength>
minLength Schema Component
Property Representation {value} The actual value of the value
[attribute]{fixed} The actual value of the fixed
[attribute], if present, otherwise false{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the annotation element information items in the [children], if any.
Example
The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which requires strings to have at least one character (i.e., the empty string is not in the value space of this datatype).
<simpleType name='non-empty-string'> <restriction base='string'> <minLength value='1'/> </restriction> </simpleType>
The XML representation for a maxLength schema component is a maxLength element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
XML Representation Summary: maxLength
Element Information Item<maxLength
id = ID
value = nonNegativeInteger
fixed = boolean : false
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation?)
</maxLength>
maxLength Schema Component
Property Representation {value} The actual value of the value
[attribute]{fixed} The actual value of the fixed
[attribute], if present, otherwise false{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the annotation element information items in the [children], if any.
Example
The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which might be used to accept form input with an upper limit to the number of characters that are acceptable.
<simpleType name='form-input'> <restriction base='string'> <maxLength value='50'/> </restriction> </simpleType>
The XML representation for a pattern schema component is a pattern element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
XML Representation Summary: pattern
Element Information Item<pattern
id = ID
value = string
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation?)
</pattern>{value} must be a valid regular expression.
pattern Schema Component
Property Representation {value} The actual value of the value
[attribute]{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the annotation element information items in the [children], if any.
Schema Representation Constraint: Multiple patterns |
If multiple pattern element information items appear as
[children] of a simpleType, the [value]s should
be combined as if they appeared in a single
regular expression as separate
branches.
|
NOTE: It is a consequence of the schema representation constraint Multiple patterns (§5.2.4) and of the rules for restriction that pattern facets specified on the same step in a type derivation are ORed together, while pattern facets specified on different steps of a type derivation are ANDed together. Thus, to impose two pattern constraints simultaneously, schema authors may either write a single pattern which expresses the intersection of the two patterns they wish to impose, or define each pattern on a separate type derivation step.
Example
The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which is a better representation of postal codes in the United States, by limiting strings to those which are matched by a specific regular expression.
<simpleType name='better-us-zipcode'> <restriction base='string'> <pattern value='[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?'/> </restriction> </simpleType>
The XML representation for an enumeration schema component is an enumeration element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
XML Representation Summary: enumeration
Element Information Item<enumeration
id = ID
value = anySimpleType
{any attributes with non-schema namespace. . .}>
Content: (annotation?)
</enumeration>{value} must be in the value space of {base type definition}.
enumeration Schema Component
Property Representation {value} The actual value of the value
[attribute]{annotation} The annotations corresponding to all the annotation element information items in the [children], if any.
Schema Representation Constraint: Multiple enumerations |
If multiple enumeration element information items appear
as [children] of a simpleType the
{value} of the enumeration
component should be the set of all such [value]s.
|

This specification describes two levels of conformance for datatype processors. The first is required of all processors. Support for the other will depend on the application environments for which the processor is intended.
[Definition:] Minimally conforming processors must completely and correctly implement the Constraint on Schemas and Validation Rule .
[Definition:] Processors which accept schemas in the form of XML documents as described in XML representation of datatype definitions (§5.1) are additionally said to provide conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas, and must, when processing schema documents, completely and correctly implement all Schema Representation Constraints in this specification, and must adhere exactly to the specifications in XML representation of datatype definitions (§5.1) for mapping the contents of such documents to schema components for use in validation.
NOTE: By separating the conformance requirements relating to the concrete syntax of XML schema documents, this specification admits processors which validate using schemas stored in optimized binary representations, dynamically created schemas represented as programming language data structures, or implementations in which particular schemas are compiled into executable code such as C or Java. Such processors can be said to be minimally conforming but not necessarily in conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas.

The primitive datatypes duration, dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth and gYear use lexical formats inspired by [ISO 8601]. This appendix provides more detail on the ISO formats and discusses some deviations from them for the datatypes defined in this specification.
[ISO 8601] "specifies the representation of dates in the proleptic Gregorian calendar and times and representations of periods of time". The proleptic Gregorian calendar includes dates prior to 1582 (the year it came into use as an ecclesiastical calendar). It should be pointed out that the datatypes described in this specification do not cover all the types of data covered by [ISO 8601], nor do they support all the lexical representations for those types of data.
[ISO 8601] lexical formats are described using "pictures" in which characters are used in place of digits. For the primitive datatypes dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth and gYear. these characters have the following meanings:
For all the information items indicated by the above characters, leading zeros are required where indicated.
In addition to the above, certain characters are used as designators and appear as themselves in lexical formats.
In the lexical format for duration the following characters are also used as designators and appear as themselves in lexical formats:
The values of the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minutes components are not restricted but allow an arbitrary integer. Similarly, the value of the Seconds component allows an arbitrary decimal. Thus, the lexical format for duration and datatypes derived from it does not follow the alternative format of § 5.5.3.2.1 of [ISO 8601].
[ISO 8601] supports a variety of "truncated" formats in which some of the characters on the left of specific formats, for example, the century, can be omitted. Truncated formats are, in general, not permitted for the datatypes defined in this specification with three exceptions. The time datatype uses a truncated format for dateTime which represents an instant of time that recurs every day. Similarly, the gMonthDay and gDay datatypes use left-truncated formats for date. The datatype gMonth uses a right and left truncated format for date.
[ISO 8601] also supports a variety of "reduced" or right-truncated formats in which some of the characters to the right of specific formats, such as the time specification, can be omitted. Right truncated formats are also, in general, not permitted for the datatypes defined in this specification with the following exceptions: right-truncated representations of dateTime are used as lexical representations for date, gMonth, gYear.
An optional minus sign is allowed immediately preceding, without a space, the lexical representations for duration, dateTime, date, gMonth, gYear.
To accommodate year values greater than 9999, more than four digits are allowed in the year representations of dateTime, date, gYearMonth, and gYear. This follows [ISO 8601 Draft Revision].
Given a dateTime (§3.2.7) S and a duration (§3.2.6) D, this appendix specifies how to compute a dateTime (§3.2.7) E where E is the end of the time period with start S and duration D i.e. E = S + D. Such computations are used, for example, to determine whether a dateTime (§3.2.7) is within a specific time period. This appendix also addresses the addition of duration (§3.2.6)s to the datatypes date (§3.2.9), gMonth (§3.2.14) and gYear (§3.2.11) which can be viewed as a set of dateTime (§3.2.7)s. In such cases, the addition is made to the first or starting dateTime (§3.2.7) in the set.
This is a logical explanation of the process. Actual implementations are free to optimize as long as they produce the same results. The calculation uses the notation S[year] to represent the year field of S, S[month] to represent the month field, and so on. It also depends on the following functions:
fQuotient(a, b) = the greatest integer less than or equal to a/b
modulo(a, b) = a - fQuotient(a,b)*b
fQuotient(a, low, high) = fQuotient(a - low, high - low)
modulo(a, low, high) = modulo(a - low, high - low) + low
maximumDayInMonthFor(yearValue, monthValue) =
31 | M = January, March, May, July, August, October, or December | |
30 | M = April, June, September, or November | |
29 | M = February AND (modulo(Y, 400) = 0 OR (modulo(Y, 100) != 0) AND modulo(Y, 4) = 0) | |
28 | Otherwise |
Essentially, this calculation is equivalent to separating D into <year,month> and <day,hour,minute,second> fields. The <year,month> is added to S. If the day is out of range, it is pinned to be within range. Thus April 31 turns into April 30. Then the <day,hour,minute,second> is added. This latter addition can cause the year and month to change.
Leap seconds are handled by the computation by treating them as overflows. Essentially, a value of 60 seconds in S is treated as if it were a duration of 60 seconds added to S (with a zero seconds field). All calculations thereafter use 60 seconds per minute.
Thus the addition of either PT1M or PT60S to any dateTime will always produce the same result. This is a special definition of addition which is designed to match common practice, and -- most importantly -- be stable over time.
A definition that attempted to take leap-seconds into account would need to be constantly updated, and could not predict the results of future implementation's additions. The decision to introduce a leap second in UTC is the responsibility of the [International Earth Rotation Service (IERS)]. They make periodic announcements as to when leap seconds are to be added, but this is not known more than a year in advance. For more information on leap seconds, see [U.S. Naval Observatory Time Service Department].
The following is the precise specification. These steps must be followed in the same order. If a field in D is not specified, it is treated as if it were zero. If a field in S is not specified, it is treated in the calculation as if it were the minimum allowed value in that field, however, after the calculation is concluded, the corresponding field in E is removed (set to unspecified).

2000-01 | -P3M | 1999-10 |
2000-01-12 | PT33H | 2000-01-13 |
Time durations are added by simply adding each of their fields, respectively, without overflow.
The order of addition of durations to instants is significant. For example, there are cases where:
((dateTime + duration1) + duration2) != ((dateTime + duration2) + duration1)
Example:
(2000-03-30 + P1D) + P1M = 2000-03-31 + P1M = 2001-04-30
(2000-03-30 + P1M) + P1D = 2000-04-30 + P1D = 2000-05-01
A regular expression R is a sequence of characters that denote a set of strings L(R). When used to constrain a lexical space, a regular expression R asserts that only strings in L(R) are valid literals for values of that type.
[Definition:] A
regular expression is composed from zero or more
branches, separated by |
characters.
For all branches S, and for all regular expressions T, valid regular expressions R are: | Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing: |
---|---|
(empty string) | the set containing just the empty string |
S | all strings in L(S) |
S|T | all strings in L(S) and all strings in L(T) |
[Definition:] A branch consists of zero or more pieces, concatenated together.
Branch | |||||
|
For all pieces S, and for all branches T, valid branches R are: | Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing: |
---|---|
S | all strings in L(S) |
ST | all strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(T) |
[Definition:] A piece is an atom, possibly followed by a quantifier.
Piece | |||||
|
For all atoms S and non-negative integers n, m such that n <= m, valid pieces R are: | Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing: |
---|---|
S | all strings in L(S) |
S? | the empty string, and all strings in L(S). |
S* | All strings in L(S?) and all strings st with s in L(S*) and t in L(S). ( all concatenations of zero or more strings from L(S) ) |
S+ | All strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(S*). ( all concatenations of one or more strings from L(S) ) |
S{n,m} | All strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(S{n-1,m-1}). ( All sequences of at least n, and at most m, strings from L(S) ) |
S{n} | All strings in L(S{n,n}). ( All sequences of exactly n strings from L(S) ) |
S{n,} | All strings in L(S{n}S*) ( All sequences of at least n, strings from L(S) ) |
S{0,m} | All strings st with s in L(S?) and t in L(S{0,m-1}). ( All sequences of at most m, strings from L(S) ) |
S{0,0} | The set containing only the empty string |
NOTE: The regular expression language in the Perl Programming Language [Perl] does not include a quantifier of the formS{,m)
, since it is logically equivalent toS{0,m}
. We have, therefore, left this logical possibility out of the regular expression language defined by this specification. We welcome further input from implementors and schema authors on this issue.
[Definition:] A quantifier
is one of ?
, *
, +
,
{n,m}
or {n,}
, which have the meanings
defined in the table above.

[Definition:] An atom is either a normal character, a character class, or a parenthesized regular expression.
For all normal characters c, character classes C, and regular expressions S, valid atoms R are: | Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing: |
---|---|
c | the single string consisting only of c |
C | all strings in L(C) |
(S) | all strings in L(S) |
[Definition:] A metacharacter
is either .
, \
, ?
,
*
, +
, {
, }
(
, )
, [
or ]
.
These characters have special meanings in regular expressions,
but can be escaped to form atoms that denote the
sets of strings containing only themselves, i.e., an escaped
metacharacter behaves like a normal character.
[Definition:] A normal character is any XML character that is not a metacharacter. In regular expressions, a normal character is an atom that denotes the singleton set of strings containing only itself.
Note that a normal character can be represented either as itself, or with a character reference.
[Definition:] A character class is an atom R that identifies a set of characters C(R). The set of strings L(R) denoted by a character class R contains one single-character string "c" for each character c in C(R).
Character Class | |||||
|
A character class is either a character class escape or a character class expression.
[Definition:] A
character class expression is a character group surrounded
by [
and ]
characters. For all character
groups G, [G] is a valid character class
expression, identifying the set of characters
C([G]) = C(G).
Character Class Expression | |||||
|
[Definition:] A character group is either a positive character group, a negative character group, or a character class subtraction.
Character Group | |||||
|
[Definition:] A positive character group consists of one or more character ranges or character class escapes, concatenated together. A positive character group identifies the set of characters containing all of the characters in all of the sets identified by its constituent ranges or escapes.
Positive Character Group | |||||
|
For all character ranges R, all character class escapes E, and all positive character groups P, valid positive character groups G are: | Identifying the set of characters C(G) containing: |
---|---|
R | all characters in C(R). |
E | all characters in C(E). |
RP | all characters in C(R) and all characters in C(P). |
EP | all characters in C(E) and all characters in C(P). |
[Definition:]
A negative character group is a
positive character group preceded by the ^
character.
For all positive character groups P, ^P
is a valid negative character group, and C(^P)
contains all XML characters that are not in C(P).
Negative Character Group | |||||
|
[Definition:] A
character class subtraction is a character class expression
subtracted from a positive character group or
negative character group, using the -
character.
Character Class Subtraction | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
For any positive character group or negative character group G, and any character class expression C, G-C is a valid character class subtraction, identifying the set of all characters in C(G) that are not also in C(C).
[Definition:] A character range R identifies a set of characters C(R) containing all XML characters with UCS code points in a specified range.
Character Range | ||||||||||||||||||||
|
A single XML character is a character range that identifies the set of characters containing only itself. All XML characters are valid character ranges, except as follows:
[
, ]
, and \
characters are not
valid character ranges;
^
character is only valid at the beginning of a
positive character group if it is part of a
negative character group; and
-
character is a valid character range only at the
beginning or end of a positive character group.
A character range may also be written in the form s-e, identifying the set that contains all XML characters with UCS code points greater than or equal to the code point of s, but not greater than the code point of e.
s-e is a valid character range iff:
\
^
\
or [
; and
NOTE: The code point of a single character escape is the code point of the single character in the set of characters that it identifies.
[Definition:] A character class escape is a short sequence of characters that identifies predefined character class. The valid character class escapes are the single character escapes, the multi-character escapes, and the category escapes (including the block escapes).
Character Class Escape | |||||
|
[Definition:] A single character escape identifies a set containing a only one character -- usually because that character is difficult or impossible to write directly into a regular expression.
The valid single character escapes are: | Identifying the set of characters C(R) containing: |

NOTE: [Unicode Database] is subject to future revision. For example, the grouping of code points into blocks might be updated. All minimally conforming processors must support the blocks defined in the version of [Unicode Database] that is current at the time this specification became a W3C Recommendation. However, implementors are encouraged to support the blocks defined in any future version of the Unicode Standard.
For example, the block escape for identifying the
ASCII characters is \p{IsBasicLatin}
.
[Definition:] A multi-character escape provides a simple way to identify a commonly used set of characters:
Character sequence | Equivalent character class |
---|---|
. | [^\n\r] |
\s | [#x20\t\n\r] |
\S | [^\s] |
\i | the set of initial name characters, those matched by Letter | '_' | ':' |
\I | [^\i] |
\c | the set of name characters, those matched by NameChar |
\C | [^\c] |
\d | \p{Nd} |
\D | [^\d] |
\w | [#x0000-#x10FFFF]-[\p{P}\p{S}\p{C}] (all characters except the set of "punctuation", "separator" and "control" characters) |
\W | [^\w] |
NOTE: The regular expression language defined here does not attempt to provide a general solution to "regular expressions" over UCS character sequences. In particular, it does not easily provide for matching sequences of base characters and combining marks. The language is targeted at support of "Level 1" features as defined in [Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines]. It is hoped that future versions of this specification will provide support for "Level 2" features.
