I wanted to elaborate Pat's comment: (01)
PH> COE does not have the capability to transform any arbitrary
> Cmap into OWL, but we think it is a useful first step. (02)
Alan Perlis once remarked that it is impossible to translate
an informal representation to a formal representation by
any formal algorithm. (03)
Concept maps were originally designed as an informal notation
used in education. COE implements a highly disciplined
(i.e., formalized) version of Cmaps that can be automatically
translated to OWL (a formally defined language). (04)
On the other hand, informal Cmaps can be a useful intermediate
stage in a human-assisted translation to a more formal notation.
Following is a talk that discusses the issues about relating
informal concept maps to Common Logic: (05)

And following is another talk that discusses the use of
Common Logic in the medical domain: (07)
