The schematron-rdf application (beta at http://www.ascc.net/xml/resource/schematron/schematron.html may do something similar soon. It takes a schema and an instance and generates an RDF document labelling each part of the instance according to which pattern was found. An XML-schema-to-schematron converter is definitely on the cards; with that you could generate an RDF document that shows which parts of a schema apply to which parts of a document. If anyone is interested in this, a good first stage would be an XSL or Perl script to resolve all type references so that we don't need to trace back along multiple type references to figure out the facets of a datatype. I think that might be a useful module for other applications too, for example for converting XML-schemas-to-DTDs to allow validation using current systems.
