Exploring a New Approach to the Alignment of Ontologies∗

چکیده
We address the issue of data integration over semantically-heterogeneous data sources using an ontology-based integration mechanism. The semiautomatic techniques that we explore are directed to helping experts establish mappings between ontologies using a combination of manual methods, which are needed for the accuracy of the mappings, and automatic methods, which facilitate the experts’ tasks. We illustrate our approach using examples from a geospatial application for querying land use patterns in the State of Wisconsin.

Centralized 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 کاملBuilding reference alignments for compound matching of multiple ontologies using OBO cross-products
Existing ontology matching techniques are limited to matching two ontologies, but we argue that producing ‘compound’ alignments, involving more than two ontologies, would be useful to support a next generation of semantic technologies. To foster the development of new techniques in this area, we have investigated the suitability of exploring OBO cross-products to derive ternary compound alignme...
متن کاملLinking and Building Ontologies of Linked Data
The Web of Linked Data is characterized by linking structured data from different sources using equivalence statements, such as owl:sameAs, as well as other types of linked properties. The ontologies behind these sources, however, remain unlinked. This paper describes an extensional approach to generate alignments between these ontologies. Specifically our algorithm produces equivalence and sub...
