title: Best practise organizing XML-Schema Files
body: <p>Say my company has lots of schemas, some for webservices, some for other purposes. There are common type definitions used in many of these schemas via import and also application specific schemas.</p>
  
  <p>Now and then schemas are changed, versioned, and exported.</p>
  
  <p>So far the company uses SVN to store the schema files. They are not structured efficiently, there are redundancies and other problems. There is no clear hirarchy of files and folders.</p>
  
  <p>Question 1: Is it a good practise to use SVN to store and version XSD-Files. What would be an other good approach? </p>
  
  <p>Question 2: How could I efficently structure the files? I would like to organize them in folders correlating the files' namespaces. </p>
  
  <p>Question 3: When exporting, is it more common to give a flattend copy (one folder with all files) or keep the folder hirarchy according to the namespaces?</p>
