Hi David,    (01)

Back in 2004, a pilot project group from the Ontolog community had
actually taken a stab at the this and did a mapping of the UN/CEFACT
CCTS v2.01 to SUMO (and that family of FOL-based upper and middle
ontologies). See an account of that at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CctRepresentation    (02)

I would also like to refer you to ongoing work of the OASIS SET TC
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=set ) and
the talk on our archives which SET TC Chair, Asuman Dogac gave at
Ontolog about that work - see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid19LH    (03)

Among folks in the community, I'd imagine folks like AsumanDogac,
TimMcGrath, Anders Tell or Duane Nickull would probably be in a
position to throw more light on this subject.    (04)

Regards.  =ppy
