To slightly expand on this: Instead of doing XSD to OWL and then importing XML into the resulting proxy-ontology, you may want to consider directly going from XML (instance) files to the target ontology. The “problem” that I see with XSD to OWL (or SHACL) is that the resulting ontology is probably not really the format that you want to use on the long term. XML documents are rather tree-based and XSD reflects this. If you would design an ontology from the ground up, it would probably be rather graph-shaped and less about document syntax than about domain objects and their relationships. Therefore, one approach is to design the SHACL ontology of your choice with EDG and then write an ADS import script that directly operates the XML files using the API described in
https://www.topquadrant.com/doc/7.1/scripting/importing.html#importing-xml <https://www.topquadrant.com/doc/7.1/scripting/importing.html#importing-xml> If it helps, you could annotate the classes in your ontology with XPath expressions or similar instructions that define how they are imported from the XML instance documents. Such annotations could be used by an ADS-based importer at run-time.
