No, there is no such document. There shouldn't be any difference in
most case: you simply download the schema(s), all their dependencies,
if any, and compile them. If certain schemas require special treatment,
then we normally add a page with instructions to the Wiki:

http://wiki.codesynthesis.com/Schemas

You need to download all external dependencies and change import/include
directives to reference local files. Some schemas (e.g., GML) even
include external schema (normally xml.xsd, etc.) in their distributions.
So check if a particular schema you are trying to use has an archive
available with all the individual schema files and perhaps dependencies.

Last time I checked, COLLADA came as a single schema file with the only
external dependency on xml.xsd which you can download from:

http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd

Can you let us know what exactly is not working in your case?
