A couple of frameworks for mapping TLOs

If one encounters operational systems using different top-level ontologies, then, if one wants them to interoperate, there is a clear practical requirement to map their data. The obvious starting point for this is a mapping between the two top level ontologies. This presentation suggests two frameworks for this mapping:

1. a coarse grained framework (architecture) – based upon metaphysical choices

2. a fine grained framework – based upon basic ontological patterns
