An Ontology for XML Schema to Ontology Mapping Representation

Kai Yang7 Robert Steele and Amanda Lo University of Technology, Sydney {kayanglrsteeleiamanda }@it.uts.edu.au This paper addresses the problem that exists in the context of XML to Ontology translation. We firstly discuss the problem regarding the loss of information during roundtrip transformation between XML and Ontology followed by the proposal of a mapping representation ontology for modeling concept mappings defined between XML schema and Ontology. Our goal is to enable bidirectional data conversion between XML and Ontology as well as achieving seamless XML data translation through ontology mediation.
