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.”
