Childnodes

The element <childNodes> comprises content that has not been modeled as a separate document and is therefore existence-dependend on the parent document.

An image object, for example, comprises the corresponding image data (childnode of type sophora-extension-nt:imagedata).

In addition to the node type the cildnode's name has to be provided (the name attribute of an <childNode> element) since it is possible to add childnodes, which have the same type but different names:
