Hi Conversions of SNOMED CT to OWL may be of interest. Indeed existing conversions of SNOMED CT use EL++, which may shortly become a new 'profile' of OWL 2 that is, a sublanguage of the standard. Though less expressive than OWL DL, EL++ seems enough for SNOMED CT. In particular it includes pr

Jyoti, Thanks for the reference. I agree the paper makes some good points. A promising alternative to deal with legacy graph-based formalisms with hierarchies and otherwise sparse axiomatization (of which SNOMED is one example) and still provide "upward mobility" to OWL is the RDFS(FA) pro
