Exploitation of OWL ontologies is often difficult due to their modelling style even if the underlying conceptualisation is adequate. We developed a generic framework and collection of services that allow to define and execute ontology transformation (in particular) with respect to modelling style. The definition of transformation is guided by transformation patterns spanning between mutually corresponding patterns in the source and target ontology, the detection of an instance of one leading to construction of an instance of the other. The execution of axiom-level transformations relies on the functionality of the OPPL processor, while entity-level transformations, including sophisticated handling of naming and treatment of annotations, are carried out directly through the OWL API. A scenario of applying the transformation in the specific context of ontology matching is also presented.
