Biomedical Ontology Matching Using the AgreementMaker System

CodeSlinger: An Interactive Biomedical Ontology Browser

CodeSlinger is a highly interactive and semi-intelligent application designed to support the search and navigation of large biomedical coding schemes, thesauri, and ontologies. We discuss how CodeSlinger is used by epidemiologist/physicians in the creation of coding sets for data extraction and analysis, the exploratory nature of the application, and finally, the issues facing our knowledge-rep...

Interactive Visualization of Large Ontology Matching Results

We add to the widely used AgreementMaker system the capability to visualize the results of matching large ontologies with a user interface that supports navigation and search of the ontologies. The interface also supports user intervention when using a feedback loop strategy where users validate candidate mappings that have been computed automatically by matching algorithms. The interface furth...

Towards Evaluating Interactive Ontology Matching Tools

With a growing number of ontologies used in the semantic web, agents can fully make sense of different datasets only if correspondences between those ontologies are known. Ontology matching tools have been proposed to find such correspondences. While the current research focus is mainly on fully automatic matching tools, some approaches have been proposed that involve the user in the matching p...

Interactive Techniques to Support Ontology Matching

There are many automatic approaches for generating matches between ontologies and schemas. However, these techniques are far from perfect and when the use case requires an accurate matching, humans must be involved in the process. Yet, involving the users in creating matchings presents its own problems. Users have trouble understanding the relationships between large ontologies and schemas and ...
