Abstract
The Semantic Web will allow software agents to understand and reason about data provided by Web applications. Unfortunately, formal ontologies, needed to express data semantics, are often not readily available. However, common data schemas can help to create ontologies. We propose mappings from XML Schema to OWL as well as XML to RDF and show how web engineering can benefit from the gained expressiveness as well as the use of inference services.
