XML和RDF是在Web上建立语义互操作性的当前标准，但XML只处理文档结构。RDF更好地促进了互操作，因为它提供了一个可以扩展的数据模型，以解决复杂的本体表示技术。我们解释了本体论的语义Web架构中的作用。然后，我们简要总结了XML和RDF的关键元素，说明了为什么使用XML作为语义互操作性的工具从长远来看是无效的。我们认为，需要进一步的表示和推理层的Web上的当前层，并建立这样一个层，我们提出了一个通用的方法编码本体表示语言到RDF/RDF模式。我们说明了扩展方法，将其应用到本体交换语言，本体表示和推理语言。
XML and RDF are the current standards for establishing semantic interoperability on the Web, but XML addresses only document structure. RDF better facilitates interoperation because it provides a data model that can be extended to address sophisticated ontology representation techniques. We explain the role of ontologies in the architecture of the Semantic Web. We then briefly summarize key elements of XML and RDF, showing why using XML as a tool for semantic interoperability will be ineffective in the long run. We argue that a further representation and inference layer is needed on top of the Web's current layers, and to establish such a layer, we propose a general method for encoding ontology representation languages into RDF/RDF schema. We illustrate the extension method by applying it to Ontology Interchange Language, an ontology representation and inference language.
