Abstract
Currently computers are changing from single isolated devices to entry points in a world wide network of information exchange and business transactions called the World Wide Web (WWW). Therefore support in data, information, and knowledge exchange becomes the key issue in current computer technology. Ontologies provide a shared and common understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems. Therefore, they may play a major role in supporting information exchange processes in various areas. However, in order to develop their full power, the representation languages for ontologies must be comparative with existing data exchange standards in the World Wide Web. Therefore, we compare the two main standardization efforts in these areas. We will compare OIL the arising standard for exchanging ontologies with XML schemas which is the arising standard for describing structure and semantics of Web documents.
