David, When I said "schema" I wasn't referring to the XML schema standard but, more generically, the layout of the data. The SXML from Gartner is what you'll need to convert to MARC. Chances are the conversion will be a bit of a challenge if you aren't familiar with XSLT, since it's unlikely that they designed their format with MARC conversions in mind. However, it would almost certainly be doable.
