Evaluation of a Semantic-oriented Approach to Cross-lingual Ontology Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most ontology mapping research has focused on the matching of ontologies written in the same natural language, and developing tools and techniques that support this monolingual ontology mapping process. However, as knowledge modelling is not restricted to the usage of a single natural language, mapping systems must be able to operate upon ontologies that are labelled in diverse natural languages. This paper outlines a semanticoriented cross-lingual ontology mapping framework that makes use of several information sources to influence the selection of ontology label translations in the process of generating high quality mapping results, and presents a high-level overview of the evaluation strategy of the proposed framework.

Cross-Lingual Ontology Mapping and Its Use on the Multilingual Semantic Web
Ontology-based knowledge management systems enable the automatic discovery, sharing and reuse of structured data sources on the semantic web. With the emergence of multilingual ontologies, accessing knowledge across natural language barriers has become a pressing issue for the multilingual semantic web. In this paper, a semantic-oriented cross-lingual ontology mapping (SOCOM) framework is propo...
متن کاملA configurable translation-based cross-lingual ontology mapping system to adjust mapping outcomes
Ontologies are widely considered as the building blocks of the semantic web, and with them, comes the data interoperability issue. As ontologies are not necessarily always labelled in the same natural language, one way to achieve semantic interoperability is by means of cross-lingual ontology mapping. Translation techniques are often used as an intermediate step to translate the conceptual labe...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Ontology Mapping - An Investigation of the Impact of Machine Translation
Ontologies are at the heart of knowledge management and make use of information that is not only written in English but also in many other natural languages. In order to enable knowledge discovery, sharing and reuse of these multilingual ontologies, it is necessary to support ontology mapping despite natural language barriers. This paper examines the soundness of a generic approach that involve...
متن کاملUsing Pseudo Feedback to Improve Cross-Lingual Ontology Mapping
Translation techniques are often employed by cross-lingual ontology mapping (CLOM) approaches to turn a cross-lingual mapping problem into a monolingual mapping problem which can then be solved by state of the art monolingual ontology matching tools. However in the process of doing so, noisy translations can compromise the quality of the matches generated by the subsequent monolingual matching ...
متن کاملGeospatial Information Categories Mapping in a Cross-lingual Environment: A Case Study of "Surface Water" Categories in Chinese and American Topographic Maps
The need for integrating geospatial information (GI) data from various heterogeneous sources has seen increased importance for geographic information system (GIS) interoperability. Using domain ontologies to clarify and integrate the semantics of data is considered as a crucial step for successful semantic integration in the GI domain. Nevertheless, mechanisms are still needed to facilitate sem...
