Dear All, I am currently experimenting with the use of SPIN/Sparql when mapping one ontology to another.
The source ontology is typically a semantic one (say a Wall class with height, width and length properties). The target ontology is typically a less-semantic cad-like explicit shape representation one (a BoundaryREPresentation (BREP), with points, lines, faces etc.). The target ontology is based on existing schema/data structures like coming from ISO STEP or IAI, initiatives often not yet OWL but other languages like EXPRESS. In such other languages it is typically possible to model 'order' like a Face has 4 ordered Lines: Line1, Line2, Line3, Line4, which when connected in that order give the boundary of the face. Now comes my issue: how would I model this 'order' in an OWL-version of such model? How can I put an order to my taget individuals in my object properties? In the past I have heard reasons for OWL not supporting order, being not really a semantic aspect. All ideas welcome, thx, Michel Bohms --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TopBraid Composer Users" group.
