Almost... the trick is deciding which syntactic variant of propertyElt you're using... for example, these are both RDF properties, but I've declared one to be propertyEltRef (i.e. <first resource="..."/>) and the other valueObj (i.e. <rest><rdf:Description>...</></rest>). | <element name="first" type="rdf:propertyEltRef" | equivClass="rdf:propertyElt" /> | | <element name="rest" type="rdf:valueObj" | equivClass="rdf:propertyElt" /> -- http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/kif.xsd v 1.3 2000/08/13 19:19:20 You can use xsi:parseType in the instance to say otherwise for a particular propertyElt. My intution says that rdf:parseType and xsi:type should evolve to be the same thing. > If not, are there at least some high level similarities amongst these > schemas that could make the task simpler? > > Dan -- bind default <http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/kb> <mailto:connolly@w3.org> is mailbox of [a Person; called "Dan Connolly"; affiliation [ a Consortium; called "W3C"; homePage <http://www.w3.org> ]; homePage <http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/>; ]
