SAWSDL provides a way to annotate the elements and attributes of an XML schema but I am also interested annotating the values in an instance of a schema document. For example, section 4.1 of the SAWSDL Rec includes <xs:simpleType name="Confirmation" sawsdl:modelReference="http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/sawsdl/spec/ontology/purchaseorder#OrderConfirmation "> … </xs:simpleType> So I know what Confirmation means. But if in the instance document I have <Confirmation> partial </Confirmation> how do I express a semantic model for the value partial? partial may be a perfectly valid value from another vocabulary that is not included in the semantic model of Confirmation. In practice, there is always a lot of attention paid to codifying the XML tags but in order to do an effective search, I also need to know the semantics of the target criteria. I hope someone is still monitoring this mailing list and can weigh in on whether anyone has considered this before.
