meanwhile, the RDF schema for FOAF. now, to find ways to map between XSD and RDFS here are normalization rules as a start.
| XSD Component | RDFS Resource | Properties |
| Element declaration | R->type definition N->element name | |
| complex type definition | rdfs:Class (root) | rdfs:SubClassOf ->type definition |
| complex type definition | N->complex type name or ->type definition + "_class" | |
| attribute declaration | rdfs:Class | R->type definition N->attribute name |
| Attribute group definition model group definition | rdfs:Property | Class: N->group name + "_class" Property: N->group name R->group (class) |
| wildcard | rdfs:Class + rdfs:Property (definition) | N->attribute wildcard + "_value" R->rdfs:Literal |
| simple type definition | rdfs:Property (any) | |
| rdfs:Literal | ||
| rdfs:Class (list) |
why is this useful? how would you like to edit RDF data (FOAF'?) in mindmanager?
