I believe that it should be possible to map arbitrary XML into RDF triples. As part of Redfoot, I would like to define a mapping language for describing, in a declarative way and for a particular XML schema, how to map instances of that schema into RDF triples. Furthermore, I believe that all descriptions of serialization of RDF should be separated out of the RDF Syntax specification and could be described merely in terms of the mapping language. I would imagine that powerful mapping language could be achieved simply by mapping XPaths to subject, predicate and object (and perhaps a handful of properties such as type and label. My first question is: what work, if any, has been done on this kind of mapping language? (Extensibility's Schema Adjunct Framework would definitely have some input) My second question is: would anyone be interested in working on this (along with an implementation) as part of the Redfoot project?
