Translations between RDF(S) and Conceptual Graphs

Though similarities between the Semantic Web language RDF(S) and languages of the Conceptual Graphs family have often been pointed out, the differences between these formalisms have been a source of difficulties while trying to translate objets of a language into the other. In this paper, we present two such transformations, that have been implemented into the CoGUI platform, and discuss their respective strengths and weaknesses.
