Ontology Mapping - a User Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontology mapping is the key to data interoperability in the semantic web vision. Computing mappings is the first step to applications such as query rewriting, instance sharing, web-service integration, and ontology merging. This problem has received a lot of attention in recent years, but little is known about how users actually construct mappings. Several ontology-mapping tools have been developed, but which tools do users actually use? What processes are users following to discover, track, and compute mappings? How do teams coordinate when performing mappings? In this paper, we discuss the results from an online user survey where we gathered feedback from the community to help answer these important questions. We discuss the results from the survey and the implications they may have on the mapping research community.

ROO: A Tool to Assist Domain Experts with Ontology Construction
The time and effort required to create ontological structures is one of the major reasons for the reluctance of large organisations and businesses to utilise Semantic Web (SW) technologies. This is aggravated by the fact that most ontology construction tools are suited for knowledge engineers who may lack the necessary domain expertise to create the relevant ontologies. This can hinder the onto...
متن کاملCOGZ: Cognitive Support and Visualization for Semi-Automatic Ontology Mapping
Much of the focus of ontology mapping research has been on how to automatically produce mappings. However, creating mappings between ontologies is a difficult, semi-automatic process, requiring user intervention. In our research, we have been investigating the user’s role in the mapping creation process, specifically attempting to uncover how we can best support and aid the user with their deci...
متن کاملA User-driven and a Semantic-based Ontology Mapping Evolution Approach
Systems or software agents do not always agree on the information being shared, justifying the use of distinct ontologies for the same domain. For achieving interoperability, declarative mappings are used as a basis for exchanging information between systems. However, in dynamic environments like the Web and the Semantic Web, ontologies constantly evolve, potentially leading to invalid ontology...
متن کاملA session-based ontology alignment approach enabling user involvement
One of the current challenges in ontology alignment is the user involvement in the alignment process. To obtain high-quality alignments user involvement is needed for validation of matching results as well as in the mapping generation process. Further, there is a need for supporting the user in tasks such as matcher selection, combination and tuning. In this paper we introduce a conceptual onto...
متن کاملTowards Understanding the Needs of Cognitive Support for Ontology Mapping
Researchers have developed a large number of ontology-mapping algorithms in recent years. However, ontology mapping is hardly a fully automated task and users must verify and fine-tune the mappings resulting from automated algorithms. Both academic and industry researchers have focused on the algorithms themselves and largely ignored the issue of cognitive support for users in the task of analy...
