An instance mapping ontology for the semantic web

Semantic data transformation plays an important role in realizing the vision of the semantic web. It supports the transformation of data in different representations into ontologies. In order to allow the task to be achieved effectively, the instructions on how to realize transformation should be well specified, preferably in a declarative and reusable format, thus allowing the construction of robust tools which on the one hand assist users to generate and maintain mappings at design time and on the other hand perform semantic data transformation at run time. Furthermore, the transformation instructions should not only allow the generation of semantic data objects but also allow the creation of rich semantic relations between them. In this context, we developed a comprehensive instance mapping ontology. One distinctive feature of the instance mapping ontology is that it provides comprehensive support for the specification of complex mappings. Another feature is that the instance mappi...
