5: Translation
- while encouraging sharing,
the Semantic Web allows multiple URIs to refer to the same thing
- there are several levels of mapping
- classes
- properties
- example: foaf:name = vcard:FN
- instances
- example: fips:Country GM = iso:Country DE
- ontologies
- built up by mapping individual classes, properties, and/or instances
- DAML Rules
will enable more complex mappings
- automated translation remains a key research area and enabler for
Semantic Integration
