[ Semantics, Ontologies & UBL ]
Towards Semantic Interoperability
•“Interoperable computing
solutions imply the existence of a sharable
ontology, or common set of object
semantics. Implementers will still be able to use localized and otherwise customized XML markup languages if they choose, but it should be possible to express and validate the semantics of the design as well as the raw XML syntax.”
