I understand that you are trying to create a custom model?

If so, this wiki page is very useful for everything about models:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide

Also, you could start with these file samples from the source code:
http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/repository/config/alfresco/extension/customModel.xml.sample
http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/repository/config/alfresco/extension/custom-model-context.xml.sample

Just rename them in ".xml" and copy them in this Alfresco server folder (if they don't exist already!): tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension

Once you have a model, you need to remember that you need to configure either Alfresco Explorer or Alfresco Share to show your new types, properties or aspects.

Another useful resource is Jeff's blog and especially in this case:
