Importing XML Sample file and XML Schema

I recently received a schema file from a vendor to import into my SQL Server.
I am new to XML and have been reading all I can. I tried doing a Bulk Load
in a DTS Package, but it does not read the schema as the correct file format
(asking me ANSI, Unicode, etc). I have a sample data file to test with but
it does not seem to be working. Can anyone give any insight on the easiest
way to do this? I will be receiving a weekly feed from this vendor and will
need to import on a schedule. Thanks.
Do you need to "shred" it into relational fields or keep the whole XML
document in a single field?
Best regards

|||You have a couple of options:
Use the SQLXML 3.0 XML Bulkload component. You will need to add annotations
to your schema (see the documentation).
Use OpenXML. You pass the XML to a stored proc as a TEXT or NTEXT parameter
(you need to make sure that the XML document is in an encoding compatible
with the SQL Server collation codepage).
Write your own ASP/ASP.Net mid-tier code to perform the shredding.

needs to be removed from the <xs:schema> tag.
Now, can anyone tell me why? I'm not an XML expert but learning as much as I
can...
