Allow multiple occurrences of unordered XML elements via XSD
How do I write an XSD that will validate the next two XML documents?
1
<Credits>
<Director>Movie</Director>
<Director>Movie</Director>
<Director>Movie</Director>
<Producer></Producer>
<Producer></Producer>
<Actor>Jules Verne</Actor>
<Producer></Producer>
<Actor>Jules Verne</Actor>
<Actor>Jules Verne</Actor>
</Credits>
2
<Credits>
<Actor>Jules Verne</Actor>
<Director>Movie</Director>
</Credits>
Here is what I have so far, but it does not allow for the unordered parameter I have above:
<xs:element name="Credits">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Director" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="3" />
<xs:element name="Producer" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="3" />
<xs:element name="Actor" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="3" />
<xs:element name="Writer" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="3" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
How would I have multiple repeating elements, in a specific order?

The following XSD will validate both of your XML documents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Credits">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="Director" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Producer" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Actor" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Writer" type="xs:string" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
