Enabling Semantic Mediation for Business Applications: XML-RDF, RDF-XML and XSD-RDFS transformations

چکیده
In this paper, we describe results of our work in developing transformation tools that enable use of RDF-based Semantic Mediation tools for integration of business applications that have implemented XML Schema-based interfaces. Specifically, we are concerned with validating advanced Semantic Mediation solutions that required XML to RDF, RDF to XML, and the XML Schema to the RDF Schema transformations to be used by these business applications. To use the advanced integration solutions we developed all three of these transformations. We discuss the requirements for the transformation tool posed by the Semantic Mediation approach in the context of a business-to-business scenario. We analyze the related work and various related approaches. We describe our implemented transformation approach and explain the intended use of the resulting tool within a typical usage scenario.

RDF Databases for Querying XML. A Model-mapping Approach
Some recent research works face the challenge to map XML documents to RDF triples. Ontologies are used to establish semantic connections among XML applications, and some mechanisms have been defined to query them with natural XML query languages like XPath and XML Query. Generally structure-mapping approaches define a simple translation between trivial XPath expressions and a target RDF query l...
متن کاملExtensions of SPARQL towards Heterogeneous Sources and Domain Annotations
SPARQL is the W3C Recommended query language for RDF. My current work aims at extending SPARQL in two distinct ways: (i) to allow a better integration of RDF and XML; and (ii) to define a query language for RDF extended with domain specific annotations. Transforming data between XML and RDF is a much required, but not so simple, task in the Semantic Web. The aim of (i) is to enable transparent ...
متن کاملBuilding the Semantic Web on XML
The semantic discontinuity between World-Wide Web languages, e.g., XML, XML Schema, and XPath, and Semantic Web languages, e.g., RDF, RDFS, and DAML+OIL, forms a serious barrier for the stated goals of the Semantic Web. This discontinuity results from a difference in modeling foundations between XML and logics. We propose to eliminate that discontinuity by creating a common semantic foundation ...
متن کاملRDF and XML: Towards a Unified Query Layer
One of the requirements of current Semantic Web applications is to deal with heterogeneous data. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is the W3C recommended standard for data representation, yet data represented and stored using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) is almost ubiquitous and remains the standard for data exchange. While RDF has a standard XML representation, XML Query languag...
متن کاملBridging the Gap between Abstract and Concrete Services - A Semantic Approach for Grounding OWL-S
OWL-S [1] is one of the emerging standards for the semantic description of web services in order to enable their automatic discovery, execution and composition by software agents. An important task within automatic execution of an OWL-S service is the bi-directional mapping between semantically higher level OWL-S service parameter descriptions and primitive XML Schema types of its grounding. OW...
