You can follow Helen's link from an earlier post. Also in a forthcoming release of SNOMED CT a script will be included to convert SNOMED in a mechanical way into OWL syntax. Unfortunately, a mechanical translation of SNOMED CT into OWL may not help you much, depending on your application. SNOMED CT is not designed with the same logical expressivity of OWL nor with the same formal semantics, and therefore the result of a translation is not apt to be useful without additional modeling or remodeling. I generally suggest people who want to use OWL for a particular application create their own OWL ontology and map to SNOMED CT for what it may add. Also, I see you are in France, which is not a member of the IHTSDO (http://www.ihtsdo.org ). If you wish to use SNOMED CT, you must look into obtaining a license.
