Discovering OWL ontologies from XML

By now, XML has reached a wide acceptance as a data exchange format in the Internet, and to make the Semantic Web a reality, such data need to be interpreted with respect to ontologies. In order to provide it, a semantic mapping from the XML format data to the ontology is necessary so that XML format data can be converted to OWL. To accomplish this, we offer a mapping formalism to convert the XML format data to the ontology, both a model and a system are presented in this paper to enable the automatic transformation of XML format data in OWL_DL.
