The semantic integration of web services requires scalable and shareable ontology engineering solutions. In this context, we need a repeatable ontology construction process to produce domain and mapping knowledge between heterogeneous knowledge resources. We need a solution to reuse the community standards already defined for specific application areas without breaking the traceability chain between the original resource and its ontology equivalent. We aim to support active communities of domain specialists which already produce useful knowledge on the web, and to encourage them to publish in the Web Ontology Language, OWL, as well as in their original format of choice. Our solution is to automatically generate XSL code for the conversion from XML to OWL out of a more compactly written stylesheet, to facilitate the work of the ontologist or domain specialist. We present here a practical example based on colours to show how our approach can be applied to a relatively large collection of concepts and to discuss some of the ontology engineering challenges and design decisions. We provide an overview of the resources we have selected, analyse key features of the resulting ontology vs. a prominent colour online resource, the Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus and discuss the benefits of our approach.
