Title
ICCD2OWL: an ICCD to OWL Data Compiler
Abstract
This paper outlines the problems the authors came across when, after the realization of ReMuNaICCD, an ontology supposed to allow a more articulate use of the present cultural heritage information system, they approached the task of populating it with instances. To permit immediate use of the ontology, it was necessary to develop ICCD2OWL, a data compiler able to translate the data recorded in the available ICCD cards into class instances and property instances for the ontology. The first task was to design formal codifications for both the ICCD attribute-value data model and the ReMuNaICCD ontological data model. Then a program for converting each of them into the other was required. Actually, the issue faced in this paper comes under the wider topic of the mappings between simple attribute-value data structures and ontological representations of the knowledge or, in more general terms, between not-object oriented models and object oriented models. The most remarkable conclusion is that part of the effort required is due to the semantic inadequacies of the ontology languages currently available. Such inadequacies make any attempt at accomplishing semantic interoperability based on those languages alone unproductive. Therefore, it is evident that the methodologies and results presented here could profitably be used in a more general framework like the Semantic Web.
