That sounds like a great approach. As far as I know, the official representation of SWAP is still the one at [6]. For the purposes of your comparison, however, you might want to look at Mikael Nilsson and Fredrik Enoksson's representation of SWAP [1] using an experimental syntax for embedding structural information about a Description Set Profile in a MoinMoin wiki document. An open-source tool [4] can be used to extract that embedded information to an XML representation [2] as per the DS-DSP working draft [5]. Comparing the DC-DSP-style XML representation in [2] to your UML/OWL/XML Schema could be a good way to focus on the types of constraints modeled and the sort of validation and functionality intended to be supported in each case. Mikael's research group, for example, experimented with using such XML representations to configure metadata editors.
