Abstract

An application profile specifies a set of terms, drawn from one or more standard namespaces, for annotation of data, and constrains their usage and interpretations in a particular local application. A framework for representing and reasoning with application profiles using the OWL and OWL/XDD languages is proposed. The former is a standard Web ontology language and the latter is a definite-clause-style rule language that employs XML expressions as its underlying data structure. Constraints are defined in terms of rules, which are represented as XDD clauses. Application of the approach to defining an application profile with fine-grained semantic constraints is illustrated. A prototype library metadata validation system has been implemented.
