I've been thinking more in terms of Object-Relational mapping. The
transition from OO design space to expression in RDF has strong
similarities in my mind to the object relational mappings used to
populate a relational database. The existing namespaces are analogous
to existing tables that we are trying to reuse, and many of the same
tools could be applied to transforming the object relationships into the
well-known relationships of the referenced schemas. Is that kind of
mapping an appropriate use of the term 'application profile'?
