We have implemented one-to-many mapping between two ontologies by using a third ontology, an Articulation [1]. It uses a Match class with multi-valued subject and objects, for example: <art:Match rdf:ID='M1'> <subject rdf:reference = &o1;name> <object rdf:reference = &o2;first_name> <object rdf:reference = &o2;last_name> </art:Match> A separate articulation ontology is used to provide a stand alone mapping that avoids adding facts to either source ontology. There is a prototype matching engine on our web site at [2]. It currently uses DAML+OIL, but our plan is to convert it to OWL when the standard begins to be stable. - Lewis [1] http://codip.grci.com/Articulation.daml [2] http://codip.grci.com/Tools/ArtiServicePage.html Lewis L Hart Chief Scientist - Intelligent Agent Systems ------------------------------------------ AT&T Government Solutions lewishart@att.com 1900 Gallows Rd.
