You appear to have cut off the end of your error message; what you've posted is merely a reference rather than a complete statement.

Nevertheless, the phrase the content model of complex type definition 'anonymous' refers to an unnamed type definition, which, in your case, is:

<xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="veterinarian" type="xs:string"/>
        <xs:element name="clinic" type="xs:string"/>
        <!-- ... -->
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

This is contrasted with a named type definition such as

<xs:complexType name="DataType">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="veterinarian" type="xs:string"/>
        <xs:element name="clinic" type="xs:string"/>
        <!-- ... -->
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

which could be referenced like this:

<xs:element name="data" type="DataType"/>

Hopefully this explanation of what is meant by anonymous helps you understand the rest of your error message. If not, please update your question with the complete error message and any supplemental files that someone knowledgeable in StyleVision would need to help you further.
