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

  • Conference paper
Enterprise Interoperability II

Abstract

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.
