Ontology-aware XML-Queries
Michael A. Erdmann, Stefan Decker · 2000
The Extensible Markup Language is accepted as the emerging standard for data interchance on the Web. XML allows authors to create their own markup (e.g. ), which seems to carry some semantics. However, from a computational perspective tags like carries as much semantics as a tag like . A query answering facility simply does not know, what an author is and how the concept author is related to e.g. a concept person. We investigate technologies to enrich query-answering with XML documents using background knowledge about concept-structures.
