Well, now I think you are getting away from your initial premise, 
which I understood to be divining meaning from interpreting 
ontological relationships to schema constructs.

Hmmmmmm ... interesting.

I think not ... OASIS Context/Value Association (CVA) files[1] 
associate document contexts with value constraints, where the value 
constraints are expressed either as XPath expressions or values from 
genericode files.  It isn't clear to me how they would help.

[1] CVA files are now an OASIS Committee Specification ... 
documentation and schemas are linked from the namespace RDDL document:
