Thank you Gokhan,
I have some follow up questions. I was able to open an xml with TopBraid Semantic XML and create and save ontology from it. I had one issue and one question though. 1. There are a lot of attributes in my original xml but only two have been created during the conversion process (class-context and title-Section show below). According to the xml demo on the website, all original xml attributes should have been created as data type properties. I tried 3.6 as well and had the same issue. 2. I carefully removed unwanted braches of elements (classes) from my ontology. I then grouped all remaining classes under Mgrep class shown in the screenshot below. I was expecting, during the mass import process of the xml instances to the created ontology, all the elements that do not have an equivalent class in the ontology be dropped, but they didn't. They are shown with a prefix p20Note in my ontology. Is there a way to drop those elements during the mass import process? Thanks!

However those classes and properties should be decorated with SXML annotation properties. You need to import sxml.rdf into your ontology from TopBraid/TBC/sxml.rdf . Classes should have a value for sxml:element property, which specifies the element QName in XML to import. For example, in Turtle format, a class called product:Shirt would use the property like this: product:Shirt a owl:Class ; sxml:element "product:shirt" . The above triple enables XML instances with the element tag "product:shirt" to mapped into instances of product:Shirt in the ontology. OWL datatype properties are used in customized mapping of attributes. Datatype property should have values for sxml:attribute property, which specifies the attribute name in XML to import. For example, in Turtle format, a datatype property called product:id would use sxml:attribute like this: product:id a owl:DatatypeProperty ; sxml:attribute "product:id" . There are two ways of applying the customized mapping to your XML file. You can either: 1-) Import the XML file as an import using Imports View of the ontology with customized mapping classes and properties. 2-) Create a SPARQLMotion script with sml:ImportXMLFile module to import the XML file, sml:ImportRDFFromWorkspace to import the ontology with customized mapping classes and properties, and connect them to sml:ConvertXMLToRDF module to do the customized mapping from XML to RDF triples. There is some information in the Help page at: TopBraid Composer<../../../nav/2> > Import and Export ><../../../nav/2_4> Creating, Importing, Querying, Saving XML documents with Semantic XML In 3.6, children elements in complex contents will be mapped as OWL object properties, simple contents will be mapped as datatype properties, there will be support for enumerations and much more. You will have a way of specifying the ontology to use for customized mapping of an XML file (or this can be a setting for the project or the workspace) in a wizard. There will also be more detailed documentation for customized mappings involving SXML in the upcoming TopBraid Composer releases.

Now, I want to use this ontology as the Tbox, remove some unwanted classes/properties (elements/attributes) and import hundreds of xml files as instances for this Tbox. There is no schema involved. I played with xml import function but every time it creates a separate file instead of adding it into my Tbox. Where can I get more information about TopBriad semantic xml? The help section on this is very brief. Thanks for the help!
