Perhaps then you already have the capabilities that e-connections or comparable notions are intended to provide? Basically it is both a way to logically partition a given ontology into sub-domains and also a way to have mappings among ontologies which are much finer-grained than imports, and not just reduced to ordinary OWL equivalence assertions (sameAs, etc.)
There are a couple of such notions floating around: e-connections, Distributed Description Logic (DDL), etc. For example, [1].

We already have the following: 1. Modularity through support of named graphs and imports 2. SPIN http://www.topquadrant.com/products/SPIN.html as a way to not only do mappings, but also transformations (this includes potential SPIN support for the rules profile of OWL2) 3. Ability to configure and combine the use of other (non SPIN) rule engines and DL inferencers, if needed 4. SPARQLMotion http://www.topquadrant.com/products/SPARQLMotion.html as a way to orchestrate processing steps Regards, Irene -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Obrst, Leo J.

In Composer, open one file and use the Imports tab to import the other (or open a new file and import both). From there SPARQL CONSTRUCT can be used to query and align the ontologies.
