I'm not sure I understand the question. From a logical point of
view, a well-defined data model just *is* a type of ontology. So,
from that perspective, to develop a data model is to develop an
ontology. I'm suspecting therefore that your question has to do more
with how to express the same ontology (in the logical sense) in both
a specific data modeling language like ER and a specific ontology
language like OWL-DL. Is that your question? (06)
