idl2daml produces DAML+OIL ontologies from CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) source files.

Approach

idl2daml uses the same IDL parser as idlj included in Sun's Java Development Kit.

A DAML class is defined for each interface; a property is defined for each attribute. Cardinality constraints and XML Schema datatypes are also generated.

Possible Future Directions

do something with modules
do something with methods
do something with exceptions?
provide some sort of IDL-driven CORBA Gateway that can invoke get methods to return the attributes for a specified CORBA object according to the idl2daml translations -- possibly extend to support invocation of other methods
