OASIS - A New Tool for the Transformation of XML Knowledge Resources Into OWL

Category: Data Management, Software and Web Development

Overview This paper presents OASIS - a new tool that enables (semi)automatic conversion of existing knowledge bases, semantic networks, terminological databases and various other resources to complex ontologies into OWL. The tool is implemented as a client of DEB (Dictionary Editor and Browser) which is able to store, index and efficiently retrieve lexical data. The architecture is based on XML and related W3C standards (XSLT, XML Schema, XPath, DOM). The main feature which brings the efficiency of the transformation is the extension of a standard XSLT processor with the ability to obtain additional data from the server through the mechanism of nested queries. This technique allows formulation of complex constraints needed in the conversion to OWL.
