Abstract

The semantic discontinuity between World-Wide Web languages, e.g., XML, XML Schema, and XPath, and Semantic Web languages, e.g., RDF, RDFS, and DAML+OIL, forms a serious barrier for the stated goals of the Semantic Web. This discontinuity resultsfrom a difference in modeling foundations between XML and logics. We propose to eliminate that discontinuity by creating acommon semantic foundation for both the World-Wide Web and the Semantic Web, taking ideas from both. The common foundationresults in essentially no change to XML, and only minor changes to RDF. But it allows the Semantic Web to get closer to itsgoal of describing the semantics of the World Wide Web. Other Semantic Web languages (including RDFS and DAML+OIL) are considerablychanged because of this common foundation.
