XML representation of a relational database

[momotaro]

I want to represent a relational database using an XSD file so I can validate XML representation of a relational database.

question 1: how do I do it without having to specify the name of the database or the table?

example: XML

<!doctype mydata "http://www.w3.org/mydata">
<mydata>
 
<authors>
<author>
<name>Robert Roberts</name>
<address>10 Tenth St, Decapolis</address>

<editor>

<telephone>7356</telephone>
</editor>
</editors>
 
</mydata>
 

and for the XSD should be something like:

<xs: element generic_db_name>
....

thank's in advance.
