The Relevance of Reasoning and Alignment Incoherence in Ontology Matching
نویسنده
چکیده
Ontology matching has become an important field of research over the last years. Although many different approaches have been proposed, only few of them are committed to a well defined semantics. As a consequence, the possibilities of reasoning are not exploited to their full extent. A reasoning based approach will not only improve ontology matching, but will also be necessary to solve certain problems that hinder the progress of the whole field. We focus on the notion of alignment incoherence to understand the capabilities of reasoning in ontology matching.

Alignment incoherence in ontology matching
Ontology matching is the process of generating alignments between ontologies. An alignment is a set of correspondences. Each correspondence links concepts and properties from one ontology to concepts and properties from another ontology. Obviously, alignments are the key component to enable integration of knowledge bases described by different ontologies. For several reasons, alignments contain...
متن کاملCentralized Clustering Method To Increase Accuracy In Ontology Matching Systems
Ontology is the main infrastructure of the Semantic Web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. Development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. By emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Computing a Local Optimal Alignment Diagnosis
Formal, logic-based semantics have long been neglected in ontology matching. As a result, almost all matching systems produce incoherent alignments of ontologies. In this paper we propose a new method for repairing such incoherent alignments that extends previous work on this subject. We describe our approach within the theory of diagnosis and introduce the notion of a local optimal diagnosis. ...
متن کاملA Probabilistic-Logical Framework for Ontology Matching
Ontology matching is the problem of determining correspondences between concepts, properties, and individuals of different heterogeneous ontologies. With this paper we present a novel probabilistic-logical framework for ontology matching based on Markov logic. We define the syntax and semantics and provide a formalization of the ontology matching problem within the framework. The approach has s...
متن کاملEnhancing Ontology Matching using Logic-based Reasoning
Ontologies, as formal representations of conceptualizations of domain knowledge, have proven to be very useful in real world applications like the Semantic Web. Given the increasing number of ontologies which are independently developed, but which represent overlapping domain knowledge, there is an urgent need to integrate them. Ontology matching meets this need by (semi-)automatically finding ...
