oil2xsd is a collection of XSLT stylesheets converting an ontology written in OIL to an XML Schema. The input must be provided as an RDFS file extended by the Standard OIL tags. The stylesheets are applied to the input or the output of the previous transformation, respectively, and are accompanied by a small shell script which applies them one after another. While some stylesheets provide basic transformations that are always necessary, other stylesheets may be applied as wanted or may be replaced by customized versions to accomplish special tasks. The result is a XML Schema which may be used to define document structures. Not all features of OIL are transformed into the resulting XML Schema. However, an interesting subset is supported.
