My Summary
The document describes how we can go from an XML to a OWL based document using XSL Transformations. Performing simple transformations on the initial XML documents, the authors argue that going from XML to OWL is possible using XSLT, but also stress on the fact that as the initial XML document increases, so will the XSLT stylesheet.

Methods
Tools used: Protégé Editor and Altova Semantics Works 2006.

Systems Integration Relevance
Going from the UML Model for requirements and component specification to the ontology representation, requires two intermediary steps: generating an XMI document and transforming this document into an OWL file. This transformation is being done using XSLT, the eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation.
