Lets say I have an XML format similar to the following:

 <Random>   <...Some arbitrary amount of nesting here...>     <Random2>       <Definition>         <Name>Ape</Name>         <Description>A mammal</Description>       </Definition>     </Random2>     <Random2>       <Definition>         <Name>Ape</Name>         <Description>A mammal</Description>       </Definition>     </Random2>   <...More Random2 here, end of nesting.../> </Random>

Is there a general standard approach to support reuse of the definitions in this type of scenario?
