While we have made extensive use of pre-existing applications, plugins, and libraries, we can forsee a time in the very near future where we will reach the limit of some of these technologies. Particularly, improvements will need to be made to the way the XML is converted into OWL, and the large number of instances/individuals required in a larger-scale semantic data integration project will most likely necessitate the use of a database back-end for the ontologies.
Further work will focus around automation of the proof-of-principle work related here. A large part of this research, while performed with existing tools, required an amount of manual intervention.
