Schema Package

An «XSDschema» stereotyped Package acts as a container for the XSD constructs, from which XML Schema can be generated. All Classes in the Package are defined within one schema; the Schema element provides the default schema-wide settings. You can create an «XSDschema» Package by dragging the Schema icon from the XML Schema Toolbox and dropping it directly onto a diagram.
