Service-oriented Ontology Mapping System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontology mapping is the process whereby two ontologies are semantically related at conceptual level and the source ontology instances are transformed into target ontology entities according to those semantic relations. The objective of MAFRA–MApping FRAmework – is to cover all the phases of the ontology mapping process, including analysis, specification, representation, execution and evolution. The MAFRA Toolkit is an implementation of MAFRA, adopting an open architecture in order to observe the Semantic Web requirements, namely performance and transformation capabilities. One of the MAFRA Toolkit novelties respects its service-oriented approach, which claims that the capabilities of an ontology mapping system depend on what transformations are present. Independent, plug able services are then responsible for the instances transformations, but they also provide support for other ontology mapping tasks like automatic specification of semantic relations, negotiation and evolution. While this paper overview MAFRA Toolkit, the main contributions and novelties are the Automatic Bridging process and the Query Web Service.

Multidimensional service-oriented ontology mapping
Ontology mapping is the process whereby semantic relations are defined between two ontologies at conceptual level, which in turn are applied at data level transforming source ontology instances into target ontology instances. This paper focuses on the formalisation, representation and automatic specification of semantic relations between two ontologies. The described approach grounds on the not...
متن کاملMDSS: A framework for the Integration of Ontology Mapping Tools
In the last period there has been a proliferation of tools that support users in discovering mappings among given ontologies in an automatic or semi-automatic way. However the way such tools are developed is unstandardized: they usually differ in input/output formats, type of user interaction and external resources exploited, hindering the possibility of making them interoperate (for example co...
متن کاملA Reference Ontology Based Approach for Service Oriented Semantic Interoperability
To establish effective information exchange among applications in a distributed environment, participants not only share their functions and service interfaces, but often exchange data models. This paper proposes the use of ontologies to represent data models thus allowing applications to locate and integrate these models. A reference ontology based approach for service oriented ontology manage...
متن کاملA Service-Oriented Architecture to Support Agent Reputation Models Interoperability
Agents are becoming a popular technology for the development of distributed, heterogeneous and always available systems. In those systems, interactions are essential, but semantic heterogeneity turns the establishment of interaction among agents into a problem. When considering reputation models in multi-agent systems, the lack of a consensus about the reputation definition could be a problem f...
متن کاملTowards reengineering web applications to web services
Web services technology and service-oriented architectures are rapidly developing and widely supported. However, it is fairly difficult for existing web applications to expose functionality as services in a service-oriented architecture, because when web applications were built, they served as monolithic systems. This paper describes a framework called WA2WS, which can be used for constructing ...
