Does anyone know of any tools capable of defining a declarative mapping from T-Box structures from one ontology to another, which when executed can effect translation of A-Box instance data from one ontology's form to another's?
I have recently written such a tool to meet my needs, but I was wondering if I reinvented the wheel.
There is no such tool that I know of. Generally, you simply copy the tbox and abox definitions from one ontology to another, and write a transform tool.
I think this is the first ontology question I've seen on this site. I hope more people use the tag.
I've used SPARQL CONSTRUCT queries where I query on one model and construct new statements with properties from a different namespace. I save these and then load them into the target model. I have found this to be flexible but there are many places where I'd like to do additional processing on literals.
I have also wanted to use SWRL rules.
