/**
* @deprecated
* To begin with, an abstract schema is a generic structure that could
* contain both internal and external subsets. An <code>ASModel</code> is an
* abstract object that could map to a DTD , an XML Schema , a database
* schema, etc. An <code>ASModel</code> could represent either an internal
* or an external subset; hence an abstract schema could be composed of an
* <code>ASModel</code> representing the internal subset and an
* <code>ASModel</code> representing the external subset. Note that the
* <code>ASModel</code> representing the external subset could consult the
* <code>ASModel</code> representing the internal subset. Furthermore, the
* <code>ASModel</code> representing the internal subset could be set to
* null by the <code>setInternalAS</code> method as a mechanism for
* "removal". In addition, only one <code>ASModel</code> representing the
* external subset can be specified as "active" and it is possible that none
* are "active". Finally, the <code>ASModel</code> contains the factory
* methods needed to create a various types of ASObjects like
* <code>ASElementDeclaration</code>, <code>ASAttributeDeclaration</code>,
* etc.
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-3-ASLS-20011025'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load
and Save Specification</a>.
