referencing another xml

[jonathan Greens]

hi folks,
I have two xmls:

Department.xml
<Department>
//wish to reference the pererons from persons.xml    
</Department>
persons.xml
<Organization xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\myworkspace\TBM\xml\Person.xsd">
<Person>
<name>Jonathan</name>
<sex>Male</sex>
</Person>
<Person>
<name>Spacey</name>
<sex>Female</sex>
</Person>
</Organization>

how would I link all the elements of personx.xml to Department.xml, I understand that you can use xslt. But that involves running xml transform from another application and producing a new xml file(correct?).
is there a way to link it statically? Persons.xml doesn't have to have the root element.

You can "import" the persons.xml document by specifying an ENTITY and referencing it with &MyPersonsDoc;

Thanks. But I want to use xml schema instead of dtd, and entity has to be declared within a dtd. IS there any other way?
