Repairing Ontology Mappings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatically discovering semantic relations between ontologies is an important task with respect to overcoming semantic heterogeneity on the semantic web. Existing ontology matching systems, however, often produce erroneous mappings. In this paper, we address the problem of errors in mappings by proposing a completely automatic debugging method for ontology mappings. The method uses logical reasoning to discover and repair logical inconsistencies caused by erroneous mappings. We describe the debugging method and report experiments on mappings submitted to the ontology alignment evaluation challenge that show that the proposed method actually improves mappings created by different matching systems without any human intervention.

A unified approach for debugging is-a structure and mappings in networked taxonomies
BACKGROUND With the increased use of ontologies and ontology mappings in semantically-enabled applications such as ontology-based search and data integration, the issue of detecting and repairing defects in ontologies and ontology mappings has become increasingly important. These defects can lead to wrong or incomplete results for the applications. RESULTS We propose a unified framework for d...

With the popularity of the World Wide Web, a large amount of data is generated and made available through the Internet everyday. To integrate and query this huge amount of heterogeneous data, the vision of Semantic Web has been recognized as a possible solution. One key technology for the Semantic Web is ontologies. Many ontologies have been developed in recent years. Meanwhile, due to the dema...
