OLA in the OAEI 2007 Evaluation Contest

چکیده
Similarity has become a classical tool for ontology confrontation motivated by alignment, mapping or merging purposes. In the definition of an ontologybased measure one has the choice between covering a single facet (e.g., URIs, labels, instances of an entity, etc.), covering all of the facets or just a subset thereof. In our matching tool, OLA, we had opted for an integrated approach towards similarity, i.e., calculation of a unique score for all candidate pairs based on an aggregation of all facet-wise comparison results. Such a choice further requires effective means for the establishment of importance ratios for facets, or weights, as well as for extracting an alignment out of the ultimate similarity matrix. In previous editions of the competition OLA has relied on a graph representation of the ontologies to align, OL-graphs, that reflected faithfully the syntactic structure of the OWL descriptions. A pair of OL-graphs was exploited to form and solve a system of equations whose approximate solutions were taken as the similarity scores. OLA2 is a new version of OLA which comprises a less integrated yet more homogeneous graph representation that allows similarity to be expressed as graph matching and further computed through matrix multiplying. Although OLA2 lacks key optimization tools from the previous one, while a semantic grounding in the form of WORDNET engine is missing, its results in the competition, at least for the benchmark test suite, are perceivably better.

TaxoMap in the OAEI 2007 Alignment Contest
This paper presents our first participation in the OAEI 2007 campaign. It describes an approach to align taxonomies which relies on terminological and structural techniques applied sequentially. We performed our method with various taxonomies using our prototype, TaxoMap. Previous experimental results were encouraging and demonstrate the relevance of this alignment approach. In this paper, we e...
متن کاملOLA in the OAEI 2005 Alignment Contest
Among the variety of alignment approaches (e.g., using machine learning, subsumption computation, formal concept analysis, etc.) similarity-based ones rely on a quantitative assessment of pair-wise likeness between entities. Our own alignment tool, OLA, features a similarity model rooted in principles such as: completeness on the ontology language features, weighting of different feature contri...
متن کاملLily results on SEALS platform for OAEI 2011
This paper presents the alignment results of Lily on SEALS platform for the ontology alignment contest OAEI 2011. Lily is an ontology matching system. In OAEI 2011, Lily submited the results for three matching tasks on the SEALS platform: benchmark, anatomy, conference. The specific techniques used by Lily are introduced. The matching results of Lily are also discussed.
متن کاملResults of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative 2007
Ontology matching consists of finding correspondences between ontology entities. OAEI campaigns aim at comparing ontology matching systems on precisely defined test sets. Test sets can use ontologies of different nature (from expressive OWL ontologies to simple directories) and use different modalities (e.g., blind evaluation, open evaluation, consensus). OAEI-2007 builds over previous campaign...
