Finding the Most Similar Concepts in Two Different Ontologies

چکیده
A concise manner to send information from agent A to B is to use phrases constructed with the concepts of A: to use the concepts as the atomic tokens to be transmitted. Unfortunately, tokens from A are not understood by (they do not map into) the ontology of B, since in general each ontology has its own address space. Instead, A and B need to use a common communication language, such as English: the transmission tokens are English words. An algorithm is presented that finds the concept cB in OB (the ontology of B) most closely resembling a given concept cA. That is, given a concept from ontology OA, a method is provided to find the most similar concept in OB, as well as the similarity sim between both concepts. Examples are given.

D 3 . 3 . 4 : Ontology distances for contextualisation
Distances between ontologies are useful for searching, matching or visualising ontologies. We study the various distances that can be defined across ontologies and provide them in a NeOn toolkit plug-in, OntoSim, which is a library of distances that can be used for recontextualising. The following partners have taken an active part in the work leading to the elaboration of this document, even i...

Fast improvement of web technologies have caused a problem of semantic integration between distributed applications. In this respect, sharing and distribution of information are of vital importance for ontologies. Ontologies may be improved by any independent association and still be used by another association. In case an association decides to use an ontology improved by another association, ...
متن کاملSemantic Enrichment in Ontologies for Matching
Matching (or mapping) between heterogeneous ontologies becomes crucial for interoperability in distributed and intelligent environments. Although many efforts in ontology mapping have already been conducted, most of them rely heavily on the meaning of entity names rather than the semantics defined in ontologies. In order to deal with semantic heterogeneity, we enrich the semantics of ontologies...
متن کاملAdaptive ontology re-use: finding and re-using sub-ontologies
Starting from an ontology draft which reflects the intended modeling perspective, the ontology engineer can be supported by suggesting similar already existing sub-ontologies and ways for integrating them with the existing draft ontology. Our approach combines syntactic, linguistic, structural and logical methods into an innovative modelingperspective aware solution for detecting matchings betw...
متن کاملUsing concept and structure similarities for ontology integration
We propose a method to align different ontologies in similar domains and then define correspondence between concepts in two different ontologies using the SKOS model. Introduction. Recently ontologies are created to provide knowledge representation. They use common representation languages such as OWL, but there are many heterogeneous ontologies [1–3]. In this paper we first propose a lexical a...
