[xsl] XML Schema declarations and XPath

[oliver fodor <fodor at itc dot it>]

I'm working on a semantic "lift" tool for transforming XML documents into 
RDF. The transformation should be defined over corresponding XML Schema and 
RDF Schema documents. The idea is to provide a generic set of customizable 
transformation rules (templates) and use these for defining the 
transformations (working only on the schemata, XSD->RDFS, not on 
instances). A customized set of rules builds a map, which serves as an 
input for transformation engine taking care for the instance 
transformations (XML->RDF).

Is it possible to assign an XPath expression to each element (attribute) 
declaration in XML Schema? This expression should serve for identification 
of respective elements in the underlying XML instance documents.

Is there any editor tool supporting XSLT design on XML Schemata (but for 
the transformation of XML instances, not for the schemata)?

Thanks!
