Now, how do you, as a third party, make use of all this stuff?
Do I have to provide a query engine at some URL or do you just
walk through my pile of RDF documents parsing stuff?

How is this done in the RDF world?
You create a mapping schema which says
GreenThings rdfs:subClassOf ColouredThings .
RedThings rdfs:subClassOf ColouredThings .
(and the same for the properties that need translating. Splitting
and joining classes? You lost me there.
Refactoring?
Yeah, I guess. Eg. if you had Green Things and Red Things and you wanted
to replace them with Coloured Things. So any queries you have on GreenThings will be
satisfied by instances of
ColouredThings - not a perfect match as you can see, but better than
nothing.
Did you mean to say that the other way around? i.e.
"any queries you have on ColouredThings will be satisfied by instances of
GreenThings".
