Martin Fowler who has written some very useful books on refactoring  
in Java, points out a new work "Refactoring Databases" [1]. It would  
be interesting to think about how the work there applies to Semantic  
Web databases, or what the equivalent in SemWeb databases would be.

Can this just be reduced to Guha's lifting information from one  
context to another?
