XML Schema

The entity extraction dictionary follows this XML schema:

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xsd:element name="dictionary">
  <xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="entities" type="entityType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="entityType">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="entity" type="entType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:attribute name="language" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="entType">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:string"/>
    <xsd:element name="type" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xsd:element name="alternate" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
