Metafacades Descriptor Schema

Each Metafacades descriptor (andromda-metafacades.xml) must comply with the following XSD Schema:


<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
    <!-- Used for mapping contexts.  An example for a context is: An entity is a
         context for its attributes. So, the metaclass "Attribute" would be mapped to
         the class for "EntityAttributeFacade" if the Attribute belongs to an entity.
         If the Attribute belongs to any other Classifier, it would be mapped
         to a simple "AttributeFacade" and therefore would NOT need the context -->
    <xs:element name="context" type="xs:string"/>
