Let's consider the basic use case of converting a class with simple type and 
collection members from XMI to RDFS+XSD simple types. I suppose this is not 
available right now? If not shouldn't one start from there? Are we talking 
about XMI to serialized RDF/XML or memory representations? The latter comes 
with a bonus of base set of interfaces that could be implemented/reused 
existing libraries... 

I'll happily help on design, code etc but, IMHO, what is primarily needed is a 
mapping document people can agree upon as a reference and point of 
integration with existing stuff...  Does that sound like a trivial job for 
rdf-interest or am i to loose my hopes on humanity? We could adopt FOAF as 
our test case!

Manos

PS: will the converter work on ArgoUML?
