XML is considered as the most widely used standard to represent, structure and share data via the Web. XML Schema and DTD ensure the content structuring of XML documents; these languages are used to determine the grammar to use in XML instances in order to describe a given domain. However, the requirements of the semantic web are beyond what is syntactic and structural, and focus increasingly to the semantics, something that cannot be represented by XML and its derivatives and which is perfectly achievable by the ontology languages such as RDF and OWL. In this paper, we propose an automatic method for generating domain ontology from XML grammars by performing a mapping at the schema level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
