Yes, there may be a risk.  The risk is that a schema doesn't incorporate business rules, nor does it document semantic meaning.
At best, it can only imply or hint, although that can sometimes be all that is needed. In the publishing field there are many vocabularies with element types such as

<title>
<main-title>
<subtitle>
<full-title>
<draft-title>
<called-title>
etc

Equally, there can just be <title> with attributes, and external documentation (think TEI) that explains in the finest possible detail EXACTLY how you construct the metadata from sources with multiple ways of expressing their title, including no title at all.
