XML (Extensible Markup Language) Schema is a text based description of XML document which provides valid format of XML dataset. Nowadays, XML has become the most popular used method in encoding structured data for information exchange. The layering technology in XML allows it to be used independently from standardized representation and interoperates disparate Information Systems (ISs) in exchanging valuable information. However, these distributed IS are always structured in multiple data formats and with different semantic meaning. The nature of heterogeneous and distributed in ISs had eventually risen up the problem of semantic conflicts. This paper proposed some rules which focus on: Word Similarity and Word Relatedness using WordNet that are not only reconcile semantic conflicts but also bring integrated access to XML data by mapping dispersed electronic data which is semantically matched. Even the proposed approach is rather generic; this paper focuses only on certain domain which is medical domain.
