Please take a look at section 4.1.2 Converting OWL in Lars Marius
Garshol's paper, "Living with topic maps and RDF."
http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tmrdf.html#sect-converting-owl
This too:
4.1.3. Conclusions
The obvious conclusion is that converting the constraints in an RDF Schema
or an OWL ontology to the future TMCL should not be too difficult, provided
an RDF to topic maps mapping is provided. It also appears that the parts of
OWL that go beyond simple constraints can be reused directly in topic maps
for the most part. For this reason it seems best if TMCL is created to only
support constraints, and that rather than define a topic map ontology
language OWL is reused as it stands within the topic map standards family.
A beginning discussion is here:

Comments welcomed.
Will the TMCL depend on XML Schema Part 2, or OWL or something else?
Cheers,
Mary
