This component schema definition provides simple type declarations for LOM data elements that are defined as Vocabulary data types. This component schema definition enforces that vocabulary sources and values are character strings, which simplifies the schema validation process for those applications that perform vocabulary source/value validation using post-schema-validation. This component schema definition relaxes the validation constraints by allowing both sources and values to be arbitrary character strings. NOTE: The absence of the enforcement of vocabulary values does not relieve a particular LOM XML instance from satisfying vocabulary requirements defined in the LOMv1.0 base schema. Applications that require the use of vocab/loose.xsd component XSD should enforce those vocabulary requirements by other means. This file has been modified by the Knowledge Media Institute of the University Koblenz-Landau (http://iwm.uni-koblenz.de). It contains the following changes: 1) Instead of "unique/strict.xsd" the schema "unique/loose.xsd" is imported because this reflects what is said in 1484.12.3-2005, page 35 (section C.1.3) 2) In all component XSDs the schemaLocation attribute was amended to the xs:import and xs:include statements. This enables the usage of the schemas with tools which don't deal well with missing schemaLocation informations. This file is available at "http://iwm.uni-koblenz.de/xsd/IEEE-LOM/loose"
