The UML class name is used for the element names in the XML Schema.

(draft text for AIXM 5.2) Deprecation of an element inside the AIXM XSD Schema

For each XML property and type deprecated in the UML model, the generated XSD schema will include deprecation information under the XML annotation tag, as shown below:

...

<annotation>

   <appinfo>deprecated</appinfo>
   <documentation>
       <deprecated>
          <rationale>AIXM-312 - this element is deprecated because… </rationale>
          <replacement>as appropriate – put ‘N/A’ if no replacement is available </replacement>
          <deprecationVersion>5.2</deprecationVersion>
          <deletionVersion>5.3*</deletionVersion>
       </deprecated>
   </documentation>
</annotation>

* If the next version has a different number (for example because a major 6.0 version is published), this element should be interpreted as indicating “next version”.

Particular case : the association to a Choice.

An association to a Choice does not result in a single element inside the XSD, but is "exploded" into as many elements as there is choices in the model. When it is the case, the deprecation annotation will be repeated in all the “exploded” elements inside the XSD.
