We present in this paper a framework that provides support for interoperability between XML Schema based and OWL based applications. In particular, we describe how the information exchange between such applications is achieved, through the transformations of XML documents to OWL/RDF descriptions and of OWL/RDF descriptions to (parts of) valid XML documents. This functionality is built on top of OWL ontologies that fully capture the semantics of the XML Schemas. These ontologies are the outcome of the application of the XS2OWL mapping model that we have developed on an XML Schema. This way, the work reported here integrates and extends our previous work on the XS2OWL mapping model to take into account, in addition to the transformation of XML Schemas to OWL-DL ontologies, the transformation of XML documents to OWL/RDF descriptions and vice versa.
