Gokce; It's rather difficult to dive into a complex XSD like this one. One thought is to use an incremental approach. If you have a working version, then add parts until it fails. That's for the "Import XML Schemas and Instance files" XSD/XML importer. If you have a small example with specific parts you feel are not working properly, please let us know with a small example exhibiting the problems.
In terms of Semantic XML, I think you may have misinterpreted the Help files (or, more precisely, what do you mean by "guidelines documents" - the Help files?). In Semantic XML, each XML element/tag name is mapped into an OWL class. No instances of classes are generated. However, you could create a custom SPARQLMotion script that transforms the XML elements to instances created from your schema. See http://www.topquadrant.com/products/SPARQLMotion.html and the SPARQLMotion tutorial found at http://www.topquadrant.com/products/support.html. The key idea behind Semantic XML is that the XML document is represented in a set of triples (RDF graph) that retains all information about the XML document structure - the element/sub-element relationships, order of sibling elements, element attributes, etc. One in this regular RDF form, one can use SPARQL to query and transform the XML structure to any RDF that is needed for use in your application. -- Scott On Jul 8, 1:12 am, Gökçe Banu Laleci <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > We need to create an RDF representation of a quite complex XSD, and > have an XML conforming to this Schema to be translated in RDF.
