Conclusion:

• The "schema" statement declares an XSD XML schema.
• The "element" statement in a "schema" statement declares a target XML element with its expected structure.
• The "simpleType" statement in a "schema" statement declares a named simple datatype to be used for an element or an attribute.
• The "complexType" statement in a "schema" statement declares a named complex datatype to be used for an element.
• The "simpleType" statement in a "element" or "attribute" statement declares an anonymous simple datatype to be used for the parent statement.
• The "complexType" statement in a "element" statement declares anonymous complex datatype to be used for the parent statement.
• The "element" statement in a "complexType" statement specifies an element item to the target datatype.
• The "attribute" statement in a "complexType" statement specifies an attribute item to the target datatype.
