Ontology-Assisted Data Transformation and Integration

چکیده
Schema-based data transformation and integration (DTI) has been an active research area for some time, while more recent advances in ontologies have led to significant research in ontology-based DTI. These two approaches present some overlaps and some differences, and in this paper we investigate possible synergies between them. In particular, we show how ontologies can enhance schema-based DTI approaches by providing richer semantics for schema constructs. We also illustrate one way in which schema-based DTI approaches can be used together with ontology-based approaches in a heterogeneous data integration setting.

In order to improve the integration and share of the HLA simulation model for complex products, to achieve interoperability between heterogeneous ontologies, the design of heterogeneous models for representation, classification, retrieval, and integrated management of distributed collaborative design ontology meta model transformation and integration of hybrid algorithm is proposed, and the con...
متن کاملAutomatic Transformation of Relational Database Schema into OWL Ontologies
Ontology alignment, or ontology matching, is a technique of mapping different concepts between ontologies. For this purpose at least two ontologies are required. In certain scenarios, such as data integration, heterogeneous database integration and data model compatibility evaluation, a need to transform a relational database schema to an ontology can arise. To conduct a successful transformati...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملInformation Sharing for the Semantic Web -a Schema Transformation Approach
This paper proposes a framework for transforming and integrating heterogeneous XML data sources, making use of known correspondences from them to ontologies expressed in the form of RDFS schemas. Our algorithms generate schema transformation/integration rules which are implemented in the AutoMed heterogeneous data integration system. The paper first illustrates how correspondences to a single o...
متن کاملOntology Instance Matching based MPEG-7 Resource Integration
Heterogeneous multimedia contents are annotated by a sharable formal conceptualization, often called ontology, and these contents, regardless of their media, become sharable resources/instances. Integration of the sharable resources and acquisition of diverse knowledge is getting researchers’ attention at a rapid pace. In this regard, MPEG-7 standard convertible to semantic Resource Description...
