There is a XML DTD add-in in the Enterprise Edition of Rose that
will allow you to roundtrip XML DTDs.  However there is currently no
support in Rose for the XML documents themselves.
 
If this is of use to you you will, need to get the Enterprise edition
of Rose as the XML capability is not available in the professional
editions.
 
Regarding XML Schemas,
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has just recently finished defining
what the XML-Schema language is.  Rational development did not want to
get into this until the specification was finalized. Now that this is
done Rational is looking at including support for this in a future release. 
Other that that vague statement, I cannot give you any particulars about
unrelease products or possible ship dates.
 
Note that there is this one XML schema related script available for
download:

Yes. check out the support downloads site for Rose.

 XML DTD → XML-Schema Translation (15 KB)
 
 This script builds on the XML DTD
 capabilities in Rose 2000e to emit an
 XML-Schema representation of the
 DTD being modeled in Rose. This is an
 experimental sample to show the
 relationship between a DTD and
 Schema, is based on the W3C April
 Draft specification and is for sample
 use only.                                                                 
 
it works from a UML model of the DTD as per the add-in provided in
the 2000e Enterprise Edition release.
************************************************************************
There is also very *small* additional document called :
RoseXMLDTDmapping.doc In the XML add-in directory...it
maybe of some small help. Also there is a white paper
called  "Migrating from XML DTD to XML-Schema using
UML"which maybe of some interest. This is located at:

Subject: (ROSE) XML Schema...

Hello there,

Does anyone know if it is possible to import data definitions that
are in XMLSchema, in to Rational Rose, and its Data Modelling Section?

Cheers ;-)
