You can take a simple lifecycle for an XML schema and modify it for a two-stage deployment. As shown in the figure below, the overall lifecycle of the schema, from the Proposed state to the Retired state, now occurs over two registries.
Figure 10. Example Lifecycle for XML Schema Split Over Two Registries
Modeling this kind of lifecycle requires two lifecycle models: one on the creation registry and one on the consumption registry.
