abstract = {Several languages have been proposed as candidates for semantic markup.
We needed to adopt a language for our current research on developing
user-oriented tools operating over the Semantic Web. This paper presents
the results of our analysis of three candidates that we considered:
XML, RDF, and DAML+OIL along with their associated schemas and ontology
specifications. The analysis focuses on the expressiveness of each
language, and is presented along several dimensions and summarized
in a comparison table. A surprising result of our analysis is the
decision to adopt XML(Schema) for practical reasons, since it is
able to accommodate a relatively expressive set of constructs and
is widely known and commercially supported. We also discuss how we
plan to complement XML(S) with a small set of conventions, so that
we will have an easier transition to other markup languages in the
future.},
