I have often used SPARQL to perform RDF-->RDF translation, though we also experimented with ShExMap and JavaScript in a previous project. > That would encourage a library of transformation specs, > such as dc->dct, xxx->skos etc. We also experimented with the idea of creating a mapping hub for sharing translation rules. It was agnostic about the "rules" language (including ShExMap and JavaScript), used github for storing/sharing the rules themselves, and provided a front-end for categorizing/finding existing translation rules. The idea is described on slide 53 (also attached): http://tinyurl.com/YosemiteRoadmap20150709slides We also built a rough POC (but don't expect it to be fully functional): https://mappinghub.github.io/ I still think this mapping hub idea has a *lot* of merit.
