The combination of rules and ontologies has been a fertile topic of research in the last years, with the proposal of several different systems that achieve this goal. In this paper, we look at two of these mechanisms, dl-programs and multi-context systems, which address different aspects of this combination, and include different, incomparable programming constructs. Despite this, we show that every dl-program can be transformed in a multi-context system in such a way that the different semantics for each paradigm are naturally related. As a consequence, many useful constructions developed within the framework of dl-programs may be automatically translated to equivalent constructions in the setting of multi-context systems.
