I have created short OWL and 2 XML Schema examples for the proposed: owl:seq, owl:set, and owl:oneOf elements (attached). The goal is to syntactically represent the "this-example.xsd" and "that-example.xsd" schemas in OWL, defining <samePropertyAs> (perhaps <sameClassAs>?) between schema types. A smart piece of software should be able to write an information preserving (i.e. roundtrippable) transform between documents schema valid with respect to the two schemas. An inferencing engine should be able to prove that this is possible given a properly written ontology (I do not claim that this is properly written, rather pose an example of how the language elements may be used to solve a specific problem). Generally the idea is that is syntactic schemas can be described in OWL, then properly placed equivalences would allow determine that documents contain the same "information items". Jonathan
