Abstract
Translating XML data into ontologies is the problem of finding an instance of an ontology, given an XML document and a specification of the relationship between the XML schema and the ontology. Previous study [8] has investigated the ad hoc approach used in XML data integration. In this paper, we consider to translate an XML web document to an instance of an OWL-DL ontology in the Semantic Web. We use the semantic mapping discovered by our prototype tool [1] for the relationship between the XML schema and the ontology. Particularly, we define the solution of the translation problem and develop an algorithm for computing a canonical solution which enables the ontology to answer queries by using data in the XML document.
