I took a swing at this using prismatic schema:
(ns schema-test.core
(:require [schema.core :as s]
[schema.utils :as utils]
[schema.coerce :as coerce])
(:import schema.core.NamedSchema))
(def Alternate (s/named [s/Keyword] "alternate"))
(def Path (s/named [(s/either s/Keyword Alternate)] "path"))
(def T [(s/either s/Keyword Path)])
(def example [ :a [:a :b :c] [:a [:b1 :b2] :c ] ] )
(defn annotater [schema]
(s/start-walker
(fn [s]
(let [walk (s/walker s)]
(fn [x]
(if (and (instance? clojure.lang.IObj x) (instance?
schema.core.NamedSchema s))
(with-meta (walk x) {:schema (.name s)})
(walk x)))))
schema))
(defn annotate [schema data] ((annotater schema) data))
(def r (annotate T example))
(map meta r) ; => (nil {:schema "path"} {:schema "path"})
(meta (nth (nth r 2) 1)) ; => {:schema "alternate"}
