Since the existing EEBus and E@H data models were expressed in different formats, i.e. XSD and UML, and SAREF4ENER had to be expressed in OWL as an extension of SAREF, these data models were first translated into corresponding OWL versions that could be used as intermediate ontologies towards the creation of SAREF4ENER. The transformations UML OWL and XSD OWL were performed manually, but existing tools can be used to automate this step (for example, TopBraid Composer™ Maestro Edition). The outcomes of these transformations were the EEBus (OWL) and E@H (OWL) intermediate ontologies in Figure A.1. The reason to create these two separate intermediate ontologies was practical. The common EEBus & E@H data model is a merged model whose parts could be straightforwardly identified as coming either from the EEBus or the E@H data model. Given that the EEBus and E@H experts were not yet (completely) acquainted with ontologies and OWL, their review process was facilitated by separating the generation of an OWL version in two parts. In this way, these experts could focus on their own part, namely EEBus or E@H, instead of having to deal with a single, large and more complex ontology. Moreover, these intermediate ontologies can be reused individually by the two associations if they decide to make use of an OWL version of their own data model in the future.
