Do tell how to get the specification of daml:imports right,
please!
It seems, to me, to involve messy stuff like log:semantics,
cyc-style 'lifting', and that sort of thing. Doesn't
look easy to me.
I don't know what log:semantics and cyc-style lifting are.
But, as I said on www-rdf-logic, importing an ontology just means
incorporating its contents. What's hard about that?
Perhaps we're having some confusion about "importing"
vs. "translation." The latter is a much more difficult problem, and
we know where most of the bodies are buried. For instance, ontology 1
wants to use ontology 2, but everything in ontology 2 is temporally
scoped, whereas ontology 1 concerns a static world. The two have to
be merged in such a way that time information is removed from onto-2
assertions without garbling them.
Please follow up.
