Don,
I like this formulation of the ontology mapping process.
It seems to have two aspects to it:
1. Specification of a mapping is like specifying a hypothesis.
As the data generated from these mappings is validated, this strengthens
these mappings. Otherwise, it weakens them.
2. Each map
I'm thinking out loud here. Just let me know if I should stop...
Here's an idea:

To contrast, compare, and reconcile at the data level I must make the
Matt is right, of course. Circularity is always a danger when dealing with
semantics (bootstrap problem).
Let's say we use some sort of probabilistic reasoning to provide a measure
of semantic similarity to two elements existing in two ontologies. (For
instance, a Bolzman machine algorithm might
