When you right click in the Navigator, do you see an "Import..." menu
option?

If you do, then selecting it will open a dialog with different types of
imports. You may need to scroll up or down to see all the imports available
for TopBraid Composer. Select "OWL Files from XML Schema".

This will invoke a wizard.

Once you have the converted file, you can just open your original OWL file
and drag and drop the converted file on the Import tab of TBC. This will
import it, so that the contents of both files appear together.

You can also, simply drag and drop your xsd file into Import tab, this will
also translate it into RDF, but the translator used is Semantic XML
translator (available in TBC-ME only) and that is probably not what you
want.

Subject: [tbc-users] Importing the DITA XML schema


I am trying to import the DITA XML schema into an exisitng OWL-DL
ontology (I only have one large OWL file at this point). However,
there are 40 xsd files in the schema and the TopBraid Composer help
file for "Import XML" file, says that you just need to right click on
a folder and the Import Wizard will open. This wizard does not appear
for me. The initial instructions are a bit ambiguous. Can anyone
suggest first how to import according to the Help file and then
second, how to get these imported xsd files to appear in my OWL-DL
ontology.

This is the confusing text:
"TopBraid Composer can be used to import XML Schema files. The
corresponding wizard can be accessed by right-clicking on a target
folder, and then selecting Import OWL Files from XML Schemas.

On the first page of this wizard, you can select the source XML Schema
files, which can either reside locally or on the Web:



After the files have been loaded into memory, you can edit the
namespace mapping, i.e. which XML Schema namespace is mapped into
which OWL file. This mapping is already populated for your
convenience, and there is a short cut button to convert urn-based
namespace into http-based ones. Once the wizard is finished, the
system will create one or more files into the selected folder. These
files may import each other, reflecting the imports that have been
defined in the original XSD files.

By default, the XSD importer will annotate the generated classes so
that they can be used as schema for Semantic XML files."
