Restrictions/Enumerations in XSD

[TIANA]

Hi guys
Unfortunately I'm a newbee to xml and xsd Schemes. I'm having the
following xml file:

<config >
<section name="A">
<entry key="k1" val="aaa" />
<!-- (range for 'val' = aaa|bbb|ccc-->
<entry key="k2" val ="true" />
<!-- (range for 'val' = true|false) -->
</section>
<section name="B">
<entry key="k3" val ="3" />
<!-- (range for 'val' = 1...10) -->
</section>
</ config >
Now, I'd like to create an xsd file for it.
I have no idea how to define the range for the attribute 'val'
depending on the values for the 'name' - attribute of the element
'ection' and the 'key' attribute in 'entry'
I think I have to use xsd:restriction /enumeration
But how do I express those dependencies????

I hope, I did not confuse you guys too much.
I'd be glad for any kind of help or hint how to start.
TIA

Hi Tiana

Unfortunately, schemas don't let you do this. Fortunately, Schematron does!
Try this site:

www.schematron.com

There are at least two .NET implementations, the one I've used lets you
combine W3C schema validation and Schematron as well.
