Remarks

When used as the root element in the schema file for a list, the List element must contain the Windows SharePoint Servicesows: namespace declaration. The following lines show the opening of a Schema.xml file for document libraries:

<List 
  xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" 
  Name="Documents" 
  Title="$Resources:shareddocuments_Title;" 
  Direction="$Resources:Direction;" 
  Url="Shared Documents" 
  BaseType="1">

In a list schema, the MetaData element contains the different parts of the list definition. Use an empty List element (<List />) to return the title of the current list.

In a site definition (Onet.xml), the List element does not contain a MetaData section, but it can contain a Data section through which to specify default column values for the given list type.
