      public abstract class ModelGroup
      extends SchemaStructure
      implements UserSchemaComponent, Term

  An XML Schema Model Group. This corresponds to a sequence, choice, or all in the schema document representation. The model group is typically referenced by a ModelGroupParticle, which links it into some containing content model. Named model groups, corresponding to global xs:group elements in a schema document, are represented by the subclass `ModelGroupDefinition`.

      Get the schema component in the form of a function item. This allows schema information to be made visible to XSLT or XQuery code. The function makes available the contents of the schema component as defined in the XSD specification. The function takes a string as argument representing a property name, and returns the corresponding property of the schema component. There is also a property "class" which returns the kind of schema component, for example "Attribute Declaration".
      Specified by:
        `getComponentAsFunction` in interface `SchemaComponent`
      Returns:
        the schema component represented as a function from property names to property values.
