If I understand what you want, I think SPARQL Construct is exactly what you are looking for to map from ontology to ontology. But since you use TBC, I'd assume you know this, so perhaps I don't quite understand the question. Jeff Work: 314-232-1997 Cell: 636-448-5990 > -----Original Message----- > From: Bohms, H.M.
