The way we do it now is by referring to XML Schema basic data types with URIs as rdfs:range values. Of course, basic data types are easy but applying facets makes life trickier. Perhaps simpleTypes and complexTypes could also be URI addressed within an XML schema file? Hoping to see some standardised solution come out in the next release of RDF schemas.
