   Could anyone send to me or post to the net references on conversion of
   knowledge from one representational structure to another?  For example,
   translating between frames and semantic nets would be of interest.

Well, here's a couple of obvious ones that you probably already know about:

* Brachman, R.J.  On the Epistemological Status of Semantic Networks.
* Etherington, D.W. and R. Reiter.  On Inheritance Hierarchies with Exceptions.
* Hayes, P.J.  The Logic of Frames.

These can be found in Brachman & Levesque's `Readings in Knowledge
Representation', Morgan Kaufman 1985.  Actually as I look through the
TOC, I realize that you probably should just get the book if you don't
have it.  Lots of good stuff.  Has an extensive partially annotated
bibliography too.
