Has anyone looked at the possibility of using cwm or euler as an ontology translator? Such a capability could be used in any environment when processing elements don't share the same vocabulary, such as a society of agents. The translator would use a series of mapping statements to translate triples from one ontology to another. The translation mechanism should support: - Transformation based on arithmetic operators, functions. - Lookup 'tables' containing tuples; Used to convert values of one property to values of another. - Mechanism for filtering instances so that translation only applies to a subset of instances. In the case of cwm, it looked to me like the -filter option could be used to define the target ontology and the mapping between the source and target ontologies. I would appreciate anyone with experience with n3 and cwm/euler to comment on the practicality of this idea, and/or possibly work out a brief example of how it might be done.
