OK, I think I will answer my own question. It seems there is no way to "include" externally defined data representations and certainly no support for defining externally defined XSDs. see:
(http://modeling-languages.com/modeling-web-api-comparing/) I find this surprising. Most SOA/API representations for intra-enterprise integration use XML. I appreciate that implementing tooling that autogenerated XML stubs is considerable work, but there should have been some basic mechanism from the outset that allowed an "include" of any type even if this mean't it wasn't auto-generated. I think the solution is to go with RAML even though it seems it is deprecated and now subsumed and replaced with the OAS project. Please let me know if I am mistaken in anyway. Ben.
