[seek-taxon] TCS help: Placeholder question

[Robert Gales]

Hi Xianhua,

The Placeholder class is xsd:any/xsd:anyAttribute with ##any namespace. 
  This means that you can plug in elements from any namespace or even no 
namespace.

For example with SpecimenItem:

<SpecimenItem identifier="cn55">
   <DataSets xmlns="http://www.tdwg.org/schemas/abcd/2.06">
     ...
      <Unit>
        <UnitId>cn55</abcd:UnitID>
        ...
      </Unit>
   </DataSets>
</SpecimenItem>

or...

<SpecimenItem identifier="cn55">
   <CatalogNumber>55</CatalogNumber>
   <Locality>5 mi west of Lawrence</Locality>
   <State>Kansas</State>
   <County>Douglas</County>
   <Country>United States</Country>
</SpecimenItem>
