SWObjects is a free and open source Semantic Web toolkit for query transformation.
Functionality
Ontology Projection
Given a rule R12 translating from ontology1 to ontology2, a query phrased in terms of ontology2 can be transformed to work on ontology1. The result of this is you have no need to materialize ontology transformations, merely declare them by rule.
Rule styles
d2r uses RDF expressions associating RDF predicates to relational tables/attributes. SWObjects uses SPARQL CONSTRUCT rules.
