A Cognitive Support Framework for Ontology Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontology mapping is the key to data interoperability in the semantic web. This problem has received a lot of research attention, however, the research emphasis has been mostly devoted to automating the mapping process, even though the creation of mappings often involve the user. As industry interest in semantic web technologies grows and the number of widely adopted semantic web applications increases, we must begin to support the user. In this paper, we combine data gathered from background literature, theories of cognitive support and decision making, and an observational case study to propose a theoretical framework for cognitive support in ontology mapping tools. We also describe a tool called COGZ that is based on this framework.

Towards 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...
متن کاملA Semantic Web Based Ontology Mapping and Instance Transformation Framework
We present a semantic-based ontology mapping framework that offers instance transformation and discovery of new mapping using reasoning. Our framework comprises an expressive OWL-Full Mapping Representation Ontology (MRO) and a mapping translation method. Ontology mappings are represented in terms of an instantiation of the MRO. We define formal semantics for our ontology mapping representation...
متن کاملMDSS: A framework for the Integration of Ontology Mapping Tools
In the last period there has been a proliferation of tools that support users in discovering mappings among given ontologies in an automatic or semi-automatic way. However the way such tools are developed is unstandardized: they usually differ in input/output formats, type of user interaction and external resources exploited, hindering the possibility of making them interoperate (for example co...
متن کاملCognitive Bias in Knowledge Engineering Course
The paper presents experience in teaching of knowledge and ontological engineering. The teaching framework is targeted on the development of cognitive skills that will allow facilitating the process of knowledge elicitation, structuring and ontology development for scaffolding students’ research. The structuring procedure is the kernel of ontological engineering. The 5-steps ontology designing ...
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...
