A working group at the W3C that is looking at addressing the impedance mismatch that occurs when trying to map XML Schema to language implementation is the “XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Working Group”. They have published a working draft [1] that should interest folks who are interested in web services Interop.
Abstract
This specification provides a set of simple XML Schema 1.0 patterns which may be used to describe XML representations of commonly used data structures. The data structures described are intended to be independent of any particular programming language or database or modelling environment.
