Error: Must refer to an existing simple or complex

Question

I'm working in Altova and I'm creating an XSD file for my XML file and my code does not validate. I get the error:

Must refer to an existing simple or complex type

and I don't know why, because I've given a simpletype to the element name titel.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

P.S. Don't mind the values within the tags.

This is the XSD file:

   <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com CDS.xsd" xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3schools.com" targetNamespace="http://www.w3schools.com" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="catalogus" type="alles"/>
    <xs:complexType name="alles">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="CD">
                <xs:complexType>
                    <xs:sequence>       

                        <!-- Elements -->
                        <xs:element name="titel" type="titelnaam"/>
                        <xs:element name="uitvoerder"/>
                        <xs:element name="uitgever"/>
                        <xs:element name="genre"/>
                        <xs:element name="prijs"/>
                        <xs:element name="jaar"/>
                        <xs:element name="behuizing"/>
                    </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>
            </xs:element>           
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>

<!-- simpleTypes -->
<xs:simpleType name="titelnaam">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:pattern value="\d{3}-\d{1}-\d{3}-\d{5}-\d{1}"/>
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>    
</xs:schema>

This is the XML file:

To eliminate this error,

Must refer to an existing simple or complex type

properly define a namespace prefix (ns1),

           xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3schools.com/CDS.xsd"

covering the target namespace

           targetNamespace="http://www.w3schools.com/CDS.xsd"

and use that to reference the type:

  <xs:element name="catalogus" type="ns1:alles"/>

Altogether...

XSD

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3schools.com/CDS.xsd"

           elementFormDefault="qualified"

    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="CD">
