Semantic alignment support in CPPA

Hi Dale,

Can you tell me what I need to read for background regarding semantic 
alignment support in CPPA.
in RegRep 4 we have an OWL profile 2.0 which supports semantic alignment 
via the RegRep query interface.

An example use case in weather domain that I am familiar with is:

Find all datasets that have a dataset field matching specified fieldname 
OR any other field name that is semantically similar to specified 
fieldname WHERE similarity threshold may be specified as a float value 
between 0.0 (no similarity) and 1.0 (completely synonymity).

The capability uses domain ontologies along with alignment ontologies to 
determine similar terms.

Does this sort of functional sound relevant?
