It looks like the correct domain is ops.epo.org, not www.ops.epo.org.

The path you gave gives a 404 error. The error page contains a link to 
the WSDL at 
http://ops.epo.org/patents/patent-information/free/wsdl/ops.wsdl but 
that also gives a 404 error.

But I found another link to this:
http://ops.epo.org/wsdl/ops.wsdl

wsdl2ruby.rb says that it doesn't like the wsdl, with the same error you 
gave. It seems it doesn't like:

<xsd:import namespace="http://ops.epo.org" 
schemaLocation="http://ops.epo.org//schema/ops.xsd"/>

If you fetch this xsd you see that it imports two more xsd's, and these 
include these declarations:

xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"

I believe this is what it's objecting to. You can fix these by making 
them relative links. Try the attached for size.
