Abstract

To facilitate the process of annotating data in the DOGMA ontology-engineering framework, we present a method and tool for semi-automatic annotation of XML data using an ontology. XML elements are compared against concepts and their interrelations in the ontology using various metrics at different levels (lexical level, semantic level, structural level, etc.). The result of these metrics are then used to propose the user a series of annotations from XML elements to concepts in the ontology, which are then validated by that user. Those annotations - expressed in Ω-RIDL - are then used to transform data from one format into another format. In this paper, we demonstrate our approach on XML data containing vendor offers in the tourism domain, more precisely holiday packages.
