I've received two messages this morning that I already sent to the list
yesterday, so there seems to be some duplication going on.    (01)

Thanks,

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?    (010)
