Each time P is met in A we do the required transformation.<br /> For example if the pattern was (this is informally written): &quot;replace each two equivalent classes with a single one&quot;. We will search in A for each match(i.e. two equivalent classes) and replace them with one class in B.<br /> patterns are expressed using SPARQL.<br /> I need this pattern for the following reason: <br /> I was wondering if cardinalities in ontology can be included in a pattern. Actually I'm on an issue that uses ontology as conceptual formalization of relational data sources and I want to apply some transformations to handle some situations (e.g transform many-to-many to another type) on the conceptual model, which needs handling the cardinalities in the ontology. Is this topic covered somewhere in some design pattern? <br /> <br /> Thanks in advance<br /> <br /> }}<br /> {{Graphical representation}}<br /> {{Modeling Issue Template}}<br /> {{Additional information header}}<br /> <br /> {{My references}}<br /> {{Modeling Issue toolbar}}</div>
