public interface Element
extends Annotated
```
A representation of the model object 'Element'. The element element can be used either at the top level to define an element-type binding globally, or within a content model to either reference a globally-defined element or type or declare an element-type binding locally. The ref form is not allowed at the top level.
The following features are supported:
- Simple Type
- Complex Type
- Identity Constraint
- Unique
- Key
- Keyref
- Abstract
- Block
- Default
- Final
- Fixed
- Form
- Max Occurs
- Min Occurs
- Name
- Nillable
- Ref
- Substitution Group
- Type
