Ontology Mapping Representations: A Pragmatic Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A common approach to mitigate the effects of ontology heterogeneity is to discover and express the specific correspondences (mappings) between different ontologies. An open research question is: how should such ontology mappings be represented? In recent years several proposals for an ontology mapping representation have been published, but as yet no format is officially standardised or generally accepted in the community. In this paper we will present the results of a systematic analysis of ontology mapping representations to provide a pragmatic state of the art overview of their characteristics. In particular we are interested how current ontology mapping representations can support the management of ontology mappings (sharing, re-use, alteration) as well as how suitable they are for different mapping tasks.

Pragmatic Representations in Iranian High School English Textbooks
Owing to the growing interest in communicative, cultural and pragmatic aspects of second language learning in recent years, the present study tried to investigate representations of pragmatic aspects of English as a foreign language in Iranian high school textbooks. Using Halliday’s (1978), and Searle’s (1976) models, different language functions and speech acts were specifically determined and...
متن کاملTwo Methods for Evaluating Dynamic Ontologies
Ontology evaluation poses a number of difficult challenges requiring different evaluation methodologies, particularly for a “dynamic ontology” representing a complex set of concepts and generated by a combination of automatic and semi-automatic methods. We review evaluation methods that focus solely on syntactic (formal) correctness, on the preservation of semantic structure, or on pragmatic ut...
متن کاملAgent-Based Ontology Mapping Towards Ontology Interoperability
Globalisation of business environments on the Web has given rise to the advent of similar ontologies in which dynamic ontology mapping is called in. Ontology mapping is necessary for ontology interoperability. In this paper, a novel agent-based ontology mapping is presented for agents to operate ontology mapping flexibly in a dynamic environment regardless heterogeneous platforms and different ...
متن کاملSaliency Cognition of Urban Monuments Based on Verbal Descriptions of Mental-Spatial Representations (Case Study: Urban Monuments in Qazvin)
Urban monuments encompass a wide range of architectural works either intentionally or unintentionally. These works are often salient due to their inherently explicit or hidden components and qualities in the urban context. Therefore, they affect the mental-spatial representations of the environment and make the city legible. However, the ambiguity of effective components often complicates their...

In the Law Enforcement context, more and more data about crime occurrences are becoming available to the general public. For an effective use of open data, it is desirable that the different sources of information follow a pattern, which allows reliable comparisons. In addition, it is expected that the task of creating a correspondence between the pattern and the internal representations of eac...
