I made a Schematron "screen-scraper" schematron-rdf (part of the freebie 
Schematron Validator
at the Topologi website) that generates RDF from an instance and a 
schema: the RDF triples
point to matched nodes in the original document.

This comes from my belief that RDF/XML is utterly wrong-headed: what is 
needed is
a way to take any idiomatic XML and expose the triples in it. 

One thing I have been thinking of is extending Schematron to allow this:

<rule context="x">
    <relation path="@name" role="z" />
    ...
</rule>
   
would establish an RDF tiple.

Cheers
