Conclusion

• Translation is a common problem with K-based systems

• OntoMorph tool makes it easier to write translators

• OntoMorph applications so far:

  • Within HPKB to translate Fusion output
  • Within CoABS/HPKB TIE to implement Rosetta ontology-based agent translation services (joint work with Y. Gil and J. Blythe)

• Future Work

  • Develop library of operators to support common transformations
  • Semi/Automatic generation of translators (some related work in database integration community, but larger schemas, higher expressivity, inconsistency, etc.)
  • Rewrite rule compiler
