Jyoti -- You wrote... >can you give me an example of a service request & >advertisement which uses different ontologies ? Cross-ontology reasoning is complex. There's an approach to this in the retailer-to-manufacturer example in [1]. The examples [2,3,4,5] may also provide food for thought. They can be run in an online system at the same URL.
