Hi Pim,

in order to open .xml files with the Semantic XML back-end of TBC (you need the 
Maestro Edition):

- locate the .xml file in the Navigator
- Right-click on the .xml file and select Open With > TopBraid (Semantic XML)

This will convert the XML on the fly to an OWL ontology with one class for each 
element type, and one property for each attribute. The instances of those 
classes are the element occurrences in the XML file. They are linked using 
composite:child relationships to represent the tree structure.

The XML Catalog feature you mention below is from some other Eclipse plugin, 
unrelated to TBC.

Regards,
Holger
