An attribute group can be defined only as a child of the schema element. In this case, the name attribute must be present and contain the attribute, attributeGroup, or anyAttribute elements that make up the attribute group. When a complexType or an attributeGroup element includes an attribute group, the ref attribute must be present and the name attribute is not allowed.

The following example creates the attributeGroup element.
