The OWL model is not an object model. Yes ODM would enable to encode a 
representation of an OWL ontology in the same format as you could encode a 
UML object model but I don't believe it will handle any of the semantic 
mismatches for you.

[That way of explaining the requirement sounds rather different from the 
way Michael described it, so I'm even less sure I understand what is being 
talked about now. Sorry.]
