"nillable" attribute inside of element (WSDL)

Hi,

Could anyone help me?

Given the following example below, What does "nillable" mean?

Thanks,

José airton

<complexType name="Book">
<sequence>
 <element name="isbn" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" /> 
 <element name="year" type="xsd:int" /> 
 <element name="title" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" /> 
</sequence>
</complexType>

José-

I think "nillable" on an schema element means that the element in an
instance doc is permitted to contain an empty string, like this:
<isbn></isbn>
