Pim; I think we'll need more information about the specifics of your XML files and schemas to help out.

In the meantime, I've included an XML schema and instance file from our Help files that may help understand how the general feature works.  Open  Import... > OWL Files from XML Schemas, add the schema file, add the instance file(s) and Finish.  The schema will be translated to an .owl file and the instance(s) to .rdf files.  Import the instance files into the schema file in RDF/OWL and the instance will appear in the proper class definitions (where an element/type definition in the schema is translated into a class).

More information about this can be found at > Import and Export > Import external information > Import XML

I am a newbee to topbraid, and tried to create an ontology from a xsd schema and directly create an ontology from an xml file relying on this schema. Via the import owl files from xml schema's I succeded in this task.
 
I received two files one is the "schema" ontology and the other the "model/instances" ontology. Although this is what I hoped for, the xml document has a large number of values (coordinates) that I can't find in the created "model/instances" ontology.
 
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Or is my expectations of this import incorrect. I would also like to note that using a large gbXML model seems to result in an infinite loop. Was running for hours without results.
 
I do notice the schema ontology does contain a CoordinateDatatype that is a subclassof decimal. So it should be possible to store the value.
 
Kind regards,
Pim van den Helm
