This is pretty much what the DCD proposal (proof of concept?) from IBM/Microsoft shows -- http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-dcd Or rather, it makes explicit some of the assertions about elements/attributes etc that XML Schema documents make. Or do you mean the use of RDF to describe administrative and resource-discovery metadata about the schemas? (eg. title/description/subject/creator etc?) There are also quite a few people are interested in reflecting the dataypes component of XML Schema into the RDF data model; I think that should be a reasonably straightforward task. That too would in a sense be 'using RDF for describing XML Schemas', ie. given some XML Schema datatype descriptions, re-describe that info as a set of RDF statements. Dan
