       This component schema definition provides simple type declarations for LOM
       data elements that are defined as Vocabulary data types.

       This component schema definition enforces that vocabulary sources and values
       are character strings, which simplifies the schema validation process for those
       applications that perform vocabulary source/value validation using
       post-schema-validation.

       This component schema definition relaxes the validation constraints by
       allowing both sources and values to be arbitrary character strings.

       NOTE: The absence of the enforcement of vocabulary values does not relieve a
       particular LOM XML instance from satisfying vocabulary requirements defined
       in the LOMv1.0 base schema. Applications that require the use of vocab/loose.xsd
       component XSD should enforce those vocabulary requirements by other means.

         This file has been modified by the Knowledge Media Institute of the 
         University Koblenz-Landau (http://iwm.uni-koblenz.de). It contains the
         following changes:
         1) Instead of "unique/strict.xsd" the schema "unique/loose.xsd" is imported 
            because this reflects what is said in 1484.12.3-2005, page 35 (section C.1.3)
         2) In all component XSDs the schemaLocation attribute was amended to the 
            xs:import and xs:include statements. This enables the usage of the schemas
            with tools which don't deal well with missing schemaLocation informations.
