Re: adorning XML Schema for RDF extraction

Sando Hawke has been experimenting with something he calls "blindfold 
grammars", which has a slightly wider but related goal.

For some details, see: http://www.w3.org/2001/06/blindfold/grammar

Also, there has been some recent feedback on the RDF-comments mailing list 
about using different schema environments to validate RDF -- I'm not sure 
if they go as far as automated triple generation.

Finally, I've noted that it is often quite easy to define a "conventional" 
XML language to be RDF compatible;  e.g. some work I'm doing to represent 
email metadata in XML and RDF:
