Dear's,
xmlschema is not that explicite about it's relation to RDF Schema.
It seems, xmlschema could be used to structure value sets in cases that structure is supposed - by the creator of the code -
NOT to have a semantic (!) interpretation by itself -
"Not to have a semantic interpretation by itself" would mean: The structure should not create additional nodes/arcs when
parsed by an RDF processor.
As long as RDF/RDF Schema is not in common use by the MetaData community,
i wonder, whether it's urgent to think about such further refinement steps.
xmlschema - structures in literals (as any other xml) survive the work of an RDF processor.
So they could be used by subsequent applications.
[xmlschema spec does not mention gadgets like MathML od CML - pretty much surprising.]
