They can only be used to translate between two specific

which can be used to describe the relationships among the primitives in different

ontology languages. Based on these operations, in the ???Easy Use of Ontology Languages???
section, we show how to automatically use the existing ontologies defined
with DAML, OIL, and DAML+OIL and show how to automatically translate the
