Abstract

This paper describes the process of constructing a markup language for maritime information from the starting point of ontology building. Ontology construction from source materials in the maritime information domain is outlined. The structure of the markup language is described in terms of XML schemas and DTDs. A prototype application that uses the markup language is also described.
