Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative - OAEI-2009 CampaignOAEI

A note about translation from SKOS to OWL

Ontology matchers tend to require ontologies to be matched (this is the least). Yet SKOS thesauri are not really ontologies. So people may want to translate SKOS thesauri into OWL ontologies. We are aware of at least two ways to achieve this.
