Research work

• Thesis

Subject : the main idea is to develop a new XML document validation format allowing knowledge to be taken into account on the context. This format extends to existing approaches according to two mainlines: constraints and ontology.
- Formalisation of complex constraints in XML. Definition of a new schema language allowing complex constraints to be managed (eqXSDC). Development of a validator allowing them to be taken into account (based on JAXP). 
- Addition of the use of an ontology (OWL) to take into account the semantic aspect during the processing of complex constraints (development Java/Jena)

Keywords

XML, Schema languages, constraints, validation, semantic Web, OWL, RDF(S)
