Paper Abstract:
|
Now-a-days, XML has reached a wide recognition and brought interoperability at a syntactic level. Unfortunately, even when using XML to represent data, problems arise when it is necessary to integrate different data sources because XML lacks support for efficient sharing of conceptualizations. Emerging Semantic Web technologies, such as ontologies, can enable semantic interoperability. With ontologies, it is possible to formally represent shared domain knowledge models defined with concepts, attributes, relationships and instances. In this paper, we present a notation to map an XML Schema to existing OWL ontologies and the qualities an algorithm should have to transform XML documents (instances of the mapped schema) into instances of the mapped ontology. |
