WRL XML Schemas

Abstract

This document contains a brief description of and references to the XML Schemas for the WRL XML syntax, as well as the relevant RuleML schemas for the XML syntax of the rules.

WRL XML Schemas

The XML syntax for WRL is originally given through a mapping in the WRL specification document. This document describes the XML Schemas for the XML syntax.

The XML syntax set consists of the following documents:

Identifiers

IRIs, data values and the like are specified according to wrl-identifiers.xsd

Conceptual syntax

The main schema for WRL/XML is wrl-xml-syntax.xsd.

Logical expression syntax

The logical expression syntax uses a number of schemas from RuleML:
naffolog.xsd enables the modeling of rules using Lloyd-Topor and includes negation-as-failure
frame_module.xsd enables the frame-style modeling (molecules) of WRL

The namespace of the WRL-specific elements is "http://www.wsmo.org/wsml/wrl-syntax#". The namespace of the RuleML elements in the logical expression syntax is "http://www.ruleml.org/0.89/xsd".
