DTD2OWL: automatic transforming XML documents into OWL ontology

DTD and its instance have been considered the standard for data representation and information exchange format on the current web. However, when coming to the next generation of web, the Semantic Web, the drawbacks of XML and its schema are appeared. They mainly focus on the structure level and lack support for data representation. Meanwhile, some Semantic Web applications such as intelligent information services and semantic search engines require not only the syntactic format of the data, but also the semantic content. These requirements are supported by the Web Ontology Language (OWL), which is one of the recent W3C recommendation. But nowadays the amount of data presented in OWL is small in compare with XML data. Therefore, finding a way to utilize the available XML documents for the Semantic Web is a current challenge research. In this work we present an effective solution for transforming XML document into OWL domain knowledge. While keeping the original structure, our work also...
