Abstract

Data obtained from the scientific experiments are heterogeneous and distributed. They are stored in different file formats so it is difficult to be integrated, analyzed, and processed. The aim of this paper is to propose an ontology dependent approach to transform XML based scientific data description into RDF instances in order to using them as a complete resource on the Semantic Web. The transforming process includes: establishing an ontology describing the data semantic and links between the elements of the output RDF file; establishing a mapping document defining the relationship between the input XML Schema file and the OWL ontology. The proposed approach has been verified successfully as web service implementation utilizing specific scientific experimental data.
