Mike An important case we have come across frequently in mapping medical classes is where they are both subclasses of an interesting common superclass that is present in neither ontology, usually formed by deleting one or two restrictions from each. Our usual examples come from linking up radiology and surgery where we have several different versions of repair of bleeding aneurism by different methods but not common parent simply 'repair of bleeding aneurism' Closely tied to non-standard reasoning about least common subsumers and differences.
