    <!-- 
        This complex type defines the core data structure for an Employee.
        It is analogous to how 'Owner' or 'Pet' entities are structured in the Petclinic demo [1].
        The 'description' attribute provides a human-readable explanation, as used in EFormBin examples [2].
    -->
<complexType name="Employee" description="gpt - Schema for an Employee entity">
    <!-- 
            An ID field, commonly used for identifiable entities in Eleusoft applications.
            The type xs:string is chosen for flexibility, as IDs could be numeric, alphanumeric, GUIDs, etc.
            Eleusoft framework also provides types like 'Identifiable' or 'IdentifiableString' [6, 7].
        -->
    <field name="employeeId" type="xs:string" description="Unique identifier for the employee"/>
    <!-- Standard fields for a person's name, common in applications like Petclinic [1, 7] -->
    <field name="firstName" type="xs:string" description="Employee's first name"/>
    <field name="lastName" type="xs:string" description="Employee's last name"/>
    <!-- Fields specific to an employee's role and department -->
    <field name="jobTitle" type="xs:string" description="Employee's job title or position"/>
    <field name="department" type="xs:string" description="Department the employee belongs to"/>
    <!-- A date field for when the employee started, using W3C Schema 'date' datatype -->
    <field name="hireDate" type="xs:date" description="Date when the employee was hired"/>
    <!-- Contact information -->
    <field name="email" type="xs:string" description="Employee's email address"/>
</complexType>
<!-- 
        Optionally, to indicate this type might be used as a top-level form,
        you could add 'extra:form="true"' or name it 'Form' or 'extra:root="true"' [2].
        However, typically core entity types like 'Employee' are then specialized for forms
        (e.g., 'InsertEmployee', 'EditEmployee') [1].
        
        For example, a form to insert a new employee might be:
        <complexType name="InsertEmployee" description="Form to insert a new employee" extra:form="true"><field name="firstName" type="xs:string" description="First Name" required="true"/><field name="lastName" type="xs:string" description="Last Name" required="true"/><field name="jobTitle" type="xs:string" description="Job Title"/><field name="department" type="xs:string" description="Department"/><field name="hireDate" type="xs:date" description="Hire Date"/><field name="email" type="xs:string" description="Email Address"/></complexType>
