Ontology Merging for Federated Ontologies on the Semantic Web
One of the core challenges for the Semantic Web is the aspect of decentralization. Local structures can be modeled by ontologies. However, in order to support global communication and knowledge exchange, mechanisms have to be developed for integrating the local systems. We adopt the database approach of autonomous federated database systems and consider an architecture for federated ontologies ...
متن کاملMerging ontologies requires interlocking institutional worlds
Merging of ontologies is a frequently addressed problem in the ontology literature. This paper argues that in general two even very similar ontologies cannot be merged. Further, where two ontologies can be merged their conceptualizations are special. They are systems of institutional facts which are interlocking. The argument is based on the literature of the federated database problem and on t...
متن کاملGlobal Schema Generation Using Formal Ontologies
This paper deals with the problem of handling semantic heterogeneity during schema integration. Semantics refer to the meaning of data in contrast to syntax, which solely defines the structure of schema elements. We focus on the part of semantics related to the meanings of terms used to name schema elements. Our approach does not rely on the names of the schema elements or the structure of the ...
متن کاملResolving Semantic Heterogeneity in Schema Integration: an Ontology Based Approach
Interoperability and integration of data sources are becoming ever more important issues as both, the amount of data and the number of data producers are growing. Interoperability not only has to resolve the differences in data structures, it also has to deal with semantic heterogeneity. Semantics refer to the meaning of data in contrast to syntax, which only defines the structure of the schema...
متن کاملQuery Transformations for Result Merging
This paper describes Carnegie Mellon University’s entry at the TREC 2014 Federated Web Search track (FedWeb14). Federated search pipelines typically have two components: (i) resource-selection, and (ii) result-merging. This work documents experiments to modify queries to merge results in the federated-search pipeline. Approaches from previous attempts at solving this problem involved custom que...
