The Topobase Administrator provides an easy way to manually create and maintain the data model for each document. However, there is a need to be able to accurately and repeatably replicate a data model, for example when moving from a development to a testing or production environment. Topobase has a very rich API for this purpose and a mechanism called structure update. This is used by vertical modules to ensure that the expected data model is present when they are added to the document. But somebody has to write the code to create the structure update.
With this use-case in mind, the open source project ModelIO comes to the rescue. It provides a way to extract a Topobase data model to an XMI file, and conversely, generate a data model based on an XMI data file - so no one has to write the code. The project also includes an FDO utility to perform the same actions on an FDO data store.
Although documentation is a little scarce at the moment, a new version targeting Topobase 2010 has been created. Give it a try.
Can topobase web (on Mapguide Enterprise) convert mapdata to xml file ?
If can not ? Which AutoDesk GSP can perform ?

I'm not sure what you mean by GSP, but this may be a question better suited to the MapGuide Open Source user forum on OsGeo.org (http://www.osgeo.org/).
