In this paper we present a model for building ontology translation systems between ontology languages and/or ontology tools, where translation decisions are defined at four

In this section, we show an analysis of ontology specification languages which have been and are widely used by the ontology community (Ontolingua, OKBC, OCML, FLogic and LOOM),

o Pattern-based extraction [Hearst, 1992; Morin, 1999]: a relation is recognized when a sequence of words in the text matches a pattern. For instance, a pattern can establish that

The implemented SW gateway stores and gives access to multiple ontologies in an efficient way thanks to its indexing structures and ontology-accessing API (section 7.2). While

The resulting OWL DL ontology (in its primary version) consists of 205 concepts linked with 73 relations (OWL properties). A screenshot of this ontology is presented in Fig.1. The

The SWARMs ontology uses a core ontology to interrelate a set of domain-specific ontologies, including the mission and planning, the robotic vehicle, the communication and
