XSD Question

I am trying to structure an document schema that has a list of
components, and a list of vendors. Each component "points" to a
particular vendor using a vendor code.

Until now, we've just included the vendor code in each component
element. However, I'm trying to move everything into an XSD
specification and I'm wondering if there is a "standard" way to do this,
maybe with something like ID and IDREF?

Below is a simplified example of the proprietary XML code we are using
now. Any references or ideas of a better way to do this would be
appreciated.

ID/IDREF is meant for attributes only, to be compatible with ID/IDREF in
DTDs. But the schema language provides xs:key/xs:keyref for your
purpose, see the primer
