how to make an xml schema?

[Andy B]

I have to write an xml schema but don't remember exactly how to do that. I
tried using a bunch of different kinds of schema designers but something
doesn't seem right. One of them told me the following code was invalid:

<xs:element name ="Contract">
<xs:ComplexType >
</xs:ComplexType>
</xs:element>

it said that "name was an invalid attribute and doesn't belong here". This
is what I have to do:

1. The root element of the xml file needs to be called "Contract".
2. In the root node there will be different child nodes like "Sections",
"Glossary" and so on.

These are the main steps I forgot how to do. An example of what I need to
help me out is this (in xml format):

<Contracts>
<Glossary>
<Term ID="1" Word = "Contract">
The document you are reading.
</Term>
<Term ID="2" Word = "Host">
The person that pays the price of the contract.
</Term>
.....
</Glossary>
<Sections>
<Section ID = "1" Title = "Section 1 title here">
The text for section 1
</Section>
<Section ID = "2" Title = "Section 2 title goes here.">
Section 2 text.
</Section>
....
</Sections></Contract>

Any idea how to create this in xml schema format?
