Global element declarations, global type definitions:
These are element declarations/type definitions that are immediate children of
Local element declarations, local type definitions:
These are element declarations/type definitions that are nested within other elements/types.
So what if an element or type is global or local. What practical impact does it have?
Answer: only global elements/types can be referenced (i.e., reused). Thus, if an element/type is local then it is effectively invisible to the rest of the schema (and to other schemas).
