I have an IFC file converted to an ifcOWL (let's call it Ontology A, which is a .owl file) file containing classes and instances of interest. On the other hand, I have a modular ontology (let's call it Ontology B, which is a .owl file) for which the alignments (let's call it Ontology C, which is a .owl file) between these two exist.
I am using Protege as my ontology editor and a knowledge management system.
Now my question is that how can/should I use the alignments (Ontology C) to transfer the instances from (Ontology A) to (OntologyB) using Protege.
Things that I have tried so far are the following:
1-I have tried to create the alignments manually by adding the = or subClassOf relations. 2-Also I have tried http://krrwebtools.cs.ox.ac.uk/logmap/ to the mapping in an automated manner that cannot capture all classes and will only be able to capture all classes consider the same names with different capitalization.
3-I converted the IFC file to ifcOWL using https://github.com/pipauwel/IFCtoRDF
4-I have created a modular ontology with different namings and conventions than the initial ifcOWL.This is because the Ontology (B) is using only a subset of IFC classes. The created ontology (B) will be a subset of 2 or 3 sources of data that are created in form of an ontology for which I will need to pull the instances and query them.
