Defining schema of schema

Hi,

I am trying to define a schema for a schema (that is, to implement
metamodel, model and model instance concepts) and i am stuck !
Do i need to redefine the X3C schema syntax or can i use my own
"vocabuylary" that is name space and so on..

If you have some pointers that will be great.. ! I have already had a
look on RDF, but I don't think that will solve my problem.

Many thanks for your help !
