A translation from OWL to YDL should be straight forward, using an XSL
translation. OTOH, XML seems hugely unpopular with Adaists who, while
they like using a language sensitive editor for data types written in Ada,
would never accept language sensitive editing of data types written in OWL,
since the latter uses XML which is always to be dismissed in favor of
more direct expression in Ada. Even when the portable description would
eventually be mapped to Ada.

AFAIK, DGs are usually handled with the help of maps (Ada.Containers,
Booch components) or graphs' nodes (Booch components).
There are some Prolog engines written in Ada, see e.g. adapower.com.
