In some cases, the nature of RDF itself will suggest design approaches different from those used for XML Schema, e.g. that schema information be represented as RDF triples. Indeed, there is no intention here to imply that the solutions adopted in the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) [Schemas] were in all cases good ones even for XML. Rather, the hope is to point out some general areas that might be considered in building a validation system for the Semantic Web. These suggestions are based on my experiences as a member of the W3C XML Schema working group and co-editor of the schema structures specification, but the opinions in this position paper are mine alone. Use cases For XML, we found a strikingly broad range of perspectives on what validation was for and who would use it. Some believed that validation should be a simple binary test to be applied to questionable data: is this XML OK? Others needed to use schemas to drive various software tooling, to guide the import of XML data in to applications such as spreadsheets, to configure prompts for XML forms and to facilitate
