How to handle #Ref from XSD in JSON Schema - jsonschema

Question

Given the following basic example of a text element which references a para element and the para element itself references the para element.
I'm wondering if I'm correctly representing this in JSON Schema?
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="text">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="para"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="para">
<xs:complexType mixed="true">
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element ref="para"/>
</xs:choice>
<xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:ID"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
I think that it has to be done with this style { "$ref": "#/definitions/diskDevice" },
http://json-schema.org/example2.html.
Is this correct?
{
"id": "http://some.site.somewhere/entry-schema#",
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "text",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/para"
},
"definitions": {"para": {
"required": true,
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string",
"required": true
},
"$ref": "#/definitions/para"
}
}
}
}
Thanks

That form of referencing is correct. It is not the only way to organise things, but it is the way I would recommend.
You do have a bug in your schema, though - you have "$ref" directly inside "properties". You are presumably not defining a property called "$ref" in your data, so is this meant to be inside another property declaration?
