Context Representation in Domain Ontologies and Its Use for Semantic Integration of Data
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to identify various aspects of context-awareness needed to facilitate semantics integration of data, and to discuss how this knowledge may be represented within ontologies. We first present a taxonomy of ontologies and we show how various kinds of ontologies may cooperate. Then, we compare ontologies and conceptual models. We claim that their main difference is the consensual nature of ontologies when conceptual models are specifically designed for one particular target system. Reaching consensus, in turn, needs specific models of which context dependency has been represented and minimized. We identify five principles for making ontologies less contextual than models and suitable for data integration and we show, as an example, how these principles have been implemented in the PLIB ontology model developed for industrial data integration. Finally, we suggest a road map for switching from conventional databases to ontology-based databases without waiting until standard ontologies are available in every

Centralized Clustering Method To Increase Accuracy In Ontology Matching Systems
Ontology is the main infrastructure of the Semantic Web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. Development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. By emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...
متن کاملPresenting a method for extracting structured domain-dependent information from Farsi Web pages
Extracting structured information about entities from web texts is an important task in web mining, natural language processing, and information extraction. Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...

متن کاملA data-intensive lightweight semantic wrapper approach to aid information integration
We argue for the flexible use of lightweight ontologies to aid information integration. Our proposed approach is grounded on the availability and exploitation of existing data sources in a networked environment such as the world wide web (instance data as it is commonly known in the description logic and ontology community). We have devised a mechanism using Semantic Web technologies that wraps...
متن کاملAn Improved Semantic Schema Matching Approach
Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...
