Motivation
SHRIMP was originally developed to solve a very specific use case: mapping site ontological concepts to core (standard) ontological concepts. For example, for N number of organizations, there may be N different ontologies used at those sites. In order for those organizations to communicate with each other and to query against each others' ontologies, there must be an agreed upon standard or core ontology. Then, each site ontology must be mapped to the core ontology so that we know that some concept A in ontology 1 is a synonym for concept B in the core ontology.
The SHRIMP tool allows users to import as well as create many-to-many mappings from site ontology concepts to core ontology concepts.
The SHRIMP tool is certainly a work in progress. Please help SHRIMP by creating and editing issues and downloading the source.
SHRIMP is implemented in Ruby on Rails 2.x and Ruby 1.8.6
