Types for choices imported from different xsds lead to choice being displayed multiple times in Schema Explorer

When importing a schema (for example this one) that is importing a type used in a choice from two different XSDs, the choice is displayed twice in the Schema Explorer

In this case, it is imported from http://schemas.opengis.net/iso/19139/20070417/gmd/maintenance.xsd in one case and from https://schemas.isotc211.org/19139/-/gmd/1.0/maintenance.xsd in the other one.

As the target namespace and the local name of the types are the same, they should not be considered being different types.

@JohannaOtt But I would see as a problem that you can't just assume the definition in both cases is the same. So one would need to check if the definitions are the same, and if they are not raise an error.

@stempler Is it possible to have types with the same name from the same namespace but different definitions?

Is it possible to have types with the same name from the same namespace but different definitions?

Sure, there is nothing preventing this.

For example:

• GML 2 and GML 3.0/3.1 use the same namespace
• INSPIRE 4.0 schemas that get fixes keep the same namespace
• Schema profiles that for instance exclude certain elements or change the cardinality
• Draft versions that use the same namespace than the later released version

Thank you for clarifying.

So one would need to check if the definitions are the same, and if they are not raise an error.

So a solution could be that hale studio determines whether the definitions is the same or not and provides an error in such cases so that the user can provide feedback to the schema provider?
