Import XSD to create datatypes

Question

Hello Everybody-
I want to create a datatype that is specific for my outbound message,i have the xsd of that structure,i was trying to import the xsd to form a XI structure.Here is what i have done.
1.Right clicked datatypes and clicked on new
2.It asked me for a name and i gave a name "venkat".
3.Then from menu-tools, i clicked import xsd and selected my xsd. Then i got a message that Schema to be handled does not contain a definition of type venkat.
4.So what i did this time i gave the name as OrderRelease instead of venkat(as stated in step 2) and still i get the error.
I am pasting a snippet of my xsd.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xsd:element name="OrderRelease">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="MergeNode" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xsd:complexType>
            <xsd:sequence>
              <xsd:element name="ShipNodePersonInfo" minOccurs="0">
                <xsd:complexType>
                  <xsd:attribute name="Suffix" type="xsd:string"/>

hi,
1. you need to import it as an external definition
2. you need to close the tags
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="OrderRelease">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="MergeNode" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="ShipNodePersonInfo" minOccurs="0">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute name="Suffix" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
