Gopinath Ganapathy, S. Sagayaraj · Global Journal of Computer Science and Technology · 2010
Semantic Web can be created by developing Ontologies. For every new project Software companies are going for designing new code and components, by new developers. If the company archives the completed code and components, which can be used with no need for testing it unlike open source code and components. File metadata and file content metadata can be extracted from the Application files and folders using API’s. The extracted components can be stored in the Hadoop Distributed File System along with the application environment. Extracted metadata will be in XML format. XML deals with syntactic level and the Web Ontology Language (OWL) supports semantic level for the representation of domain knowledge using classes, properties and instances. This paper converts the data model elements of XML to OWL Ontology that implements the mapping the standard XML technology XSLT.
