An ASN.1 module name is mapped to an XML schema namespace. ASN.1 IMPORT statements are mapped to XSD import statements. The ASN.1 EXPORT statement does not have a corresponding construct in XSD.

The general form of the XSD namespace and import statements would be as follows:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <xsd:schema
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      targetNamespace="URL/ModuleName"
   
      <!-- following line would be added for each imported module namespace -->
      xmlns:ImportedModuleName="importURL/ImportedModuleName"

      elementFormDefault="qualified">

      <xsd:import namespace="importURL/ImportedModuleName"
                  schemaLocation="ImportedModuleName.xsd"/> 

In this definition, the items in italics would be replaced with text from the ASN.1 specification being converted or a configuration file. The ModuleName and ImportedModuleName items would come from the ASN.1 specification. The URL and importURL items would be configuration parameters.
