Semantic Web-Based Information Systems: State-of-the-Art ...

of another, whether a relation can be applied to a concept or not, and so forth.
Since this tool is based on PowerLoom (and consequently on Lisp), it cannot
handle easily all the problems that may appear in the lexical and syntax layers.
Although these tools do not give an integrated support for the task of building
ontology translation systems, this does not mean that they cannot be used as a
technological support for the method proposed in this chapter, especially for the
implementation activity.
