Hello Bradley; What you describe seems like a nice consulting project. I'd suggest starting with one of the various DTD to XSD converters. You could use that to ingest the XSD and run some SPARQL transforms to get this the way you need to interface with your CMS. Not sure how the owl editor fits in, but I'd guess that if it works with standard Turtle or RDF/XML, then Composer could be used for editing the ontology.
