I do think there are some nice doctoral theses to be done (and I'm
hiring students to do them) in automating more of the mapping (human
provides partial map, system extends it) within the sorts of mappings
that OWL allows, but doing this by humans, using ontology tools, is
presently well within the state of the practice and easy to do ....
This I agree with. The point is that once humans have figured out how
two ontologies overlap, it isn't that hard to formalize the
translation. Automated tools can certainly help, and we've been
developing some of them.
