MDSS: A framework for the Integration of Ontology Mapping Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 composing different mapping algorithms). In this paper we propose MDSS (Mapping Discovery Support System) a framework for the integration of mapping tools, aiming at solving interoperability issues among different mapping discovery tools and at supporting users in choosing the best suited mapping discovery algorithm for their needs. Keywords— ontology alignment, ontology mapping, mapping discovery, service-oriented architecture.

AUTOMS-F: A Java Framework for Synthesizing Ontology Mapping Methods
Although ontologies promise an effective technology for information integration, it is often the case that two or more information providers do not share the same ontology. Several (semi)-automated ontology mapping methods have been developed towards solving this problem. This paper presents AUTOMS-F, a framework implemented as a Java API, which aims to facilitate the rapid development of tools...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Semantic-oriented Approach to Cross-lingual Ontology Mapping
Most ontology mapping research has focused on the matching of ontologies written in the same natural language, and developing tools and techniques that support this monolingual ontology mapping process. However, as knowledge modelling is not restricted to the usage of a single natural language, mapping systems must be able to operate upon ontologies that are labelled in diverse natural language...

This paper presents the development of a framework for representation and execution of temporal criteria in guideline-based Medical Decision Support Systems (MDSSs). An MDSS is a system that provides medical advice based on patient information and on knowledge of medical best practices as represented in ontologies or other forms of knowledge representation. The proposed framework consists of a ...
متن کاملA Cognitive Support Framework for Ontology Mapping
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 in...
متن کاملOMEN: A Probabilistic Ontology Mapping Tool
Most existing ontology mapping tools do not provide exact mappings. Rather, there is usually some degree of uncertainty. We describe a framework to improve existing ontology mappings using a Bayesian Network. Omen, an Ontology Mapping ENhancer uses a set of meta-rules that capture the influence of the ontology structure and the semantics of ontology relations and matches nodes that are neighbor...
