Xsd.exe is your friend. It generates c# classes from your schema. It’s a command-line tool bundled into VisualStudio: open a Vsiaul Studio command prompt, then xsd.exe /? for details
Alternately, Xsd2Code does the same kind of job but integrates better into VisualStudio (it’s an add-in). You’ll find it on codeplex.com
As far as I know, you can’t use EF with a ‘generic’ xsd schema.
Btw, iPad is not a great tool to type rich text answers 😉
