چکیده

We introduce in this paper correspondence patterns as templates to model ontology alignments. Correspondence patterns capture regularities recurring when aligning ontologies. They come in complement of ontology matching algorithms and graphical mapping tools, and facilitate the task of the engineer building the alignment between a pair of ontologies. We develop an ontology mediation framework based on three ontology correspondence abstraction levels. We particularly detail the most abstract level: correspondence patterns.

Towards Correspondence Patterns for Ontology Mediation

We introduce in this paper correspondence patterns as a tool to design ontology alignments. Based on existing research on patterns in the fields of software and ontology engineering, we define a pattern template and use it to develop a correspondence patterns library. This library is published in RDF following a structured vocabulary. It is meant to be used in ontology alignment systems, in ord...

Towards a complex alignment evaluation dataset

Simple ontology alignments, largely studied, link one entity from a source ontology to one entity of a target ontology. One of the limitations of these alignments is, however, their lack of expressiveness which can be overcome by complex alignments. Different approaches for generating complex alignments have emerged in the literature [4,5,6]. However, there is a lack of datasets on which they c...

On the Identification and Representation of Ontology Correspondence Antipatterns

Semantic data integration and application interoperability are recognized challenges in distributed scenarios, and they have long being addressed by ontology alignment techniques, which try to find correspondences between entities that are semantically equivalent in distinct ontologies. However, ontology alignment is still a costly and difficult task, considering the existence of large-scale sc...

Digging Ontology Correspondence Antipatterns

A correspondence antipattern is a set of generic correspondences between two ontologies that represents an incorrect alignment. It is useful to help identify incorrect correspondences between two ontologies, thus improving the Ontology Matching process. The specification of a correspondence antipattern requires the identification and correct understanding of a relevant alignment problem, and it...

A Pattern-based Ontology Matching Approach for Detecting Complex Correspondences

State of the art ontology matching techniques are limited to detect simple correspondences between atomic concepts and properties. Nevertheless, for many concepts and properties atomic counterparts will not exist, while it is possible to construct equivalent complex concept and property descriptions. We define a correspondence where at least one of the linked entities is non-atomic as complex c...
