1. Load source ontology schema into MAFRA
The SVG XML Schema (XSD file) is normalised and converted into an SVG Ontology Schema (RDFS file).
The SVG Ontology Schema is then displayed in MAFRA toolkit as the Source ontology.
3. Create mappings
Using MAFRA toolkit, the user produces mappings between objects in the Source and the Target ontologies by creating Semantic Bridges.
The types of Semantic Bridges and their use are described at a later stage. The user-created mappings are saved as a set of mappings described in RDF format.
4. Load source ontology instance
The SVG source (SVG file) is normalised and converted into an SVG ontology instance (RDF file).
This is then loaded into MAFRA toolkit ready for translation to begin.
5. Execute mappings
The translation is performed when MAFRA toolkit takes the source ontology instance (SVG represented in RDF)
and uses the user-defined mappings to create a target ontology instance (X3D represented in RDF).
6. Receive target ontology instance
The X3D ontology instance (RDF file) is normalised and converted into a X3D target (X3D file).
The user can then view the X3D file in a suitable renderer.
